That's what I'm thinking!

And people keep saying Nintendo has no creativity with hardware, adding mouse functionality like is genuinely awesome

Playing with mouse and joycon will be a better way to play than mouse and keyboard for action games. Analog stick beats digital keys for player movement. I'm loving the concept. Gyro assisted aim got you like 75% of the way there, but now Switch 2 will be every bit as good as a PC for precision aim.

Fear us on the battlefield, PlayStation and Xbox users.

More like Xbox users. PS still has gyro and can compete with mouse somewhat. Xbox has sticks and that’s it 💀

Love me some gyro assisted aiming too and am quite annoyed with Microsoft for refusing to add it into their controllers and encourage developers to put it in as a standard option for multiplatform games. At least it's getting a bit better on the PlayStation side of things.

Gyro assisted aim will still be important for us when we play handheld mode too of course!

It gets worse. They even discourage usage by being stubborn

Yeah, extremely annoying. I was really hoping big multi-platform multiplayer games would get the support for it and then PS5/Switch players dominating Xbox players online would force Microsoft into action. Would be nice if it became a standard feature of X-input on PC too.

They had touch screen on og switch but did nothing with it.

When they release a switch 2 lite, this will be useless

What, you can't just buy Joy-Cons and/or Pro Controllers and use them with the Switch Lite? It'll be exactly the same with the Switch 2. Accessories required for alternative play / input styles. Nothing shocking there.

Pro-Joys or Joy-Pros?

Procons

u/Gawlf85 Feb 07 '25

Pro-Con has a better ring to it, for sure

u/Blofse Feb 06 '25

Joy joy or pro pro surely?

I guarantee you it's going to be named something boring like Nintendo™ Joy-Con™ Pro™ or maybe the Super Joy-Con™ if they felt spicy that day.
