- Nintendo Swap 2 helps conventional USB mouse controls
- This was revealed in a presentation for Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Full Version
- It opens up the probabilities for wider mouse and keyboard assist on Swap 2
If you happen to don’t love the thought of dragging the Pleasure-Con 2 throughout your desk to entry Nintendo Swap 2‘s mouse controls, it seems you won’t must.
Michi Ryu, producer on Koei Tecmo’s Swap 2 port of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening, has revealed that the upcoming recreation helps conventional USB mice on the brand new console (by way of VGC).
Ryu begins the demonstration, which you’ll look ahead to your self within the video under, by enjoying the sport within the Pleasure-Con 2’s mouse mode. “The performance is identical because the already launched Steam model, permitting for left click on, proper click on and wheel operations,” he says.

Across the 11-minute mark within the video, Ryu reveals {that a} USB mouse has been related to the Nintendo Swap 2 system, taking precedence over the Pleasure-Con 2 as the primary methodology of management. Ryu can then nonetheless use numerous shortcuts which can be mapped to the left Pleasure-Con 2.
Whereas with the ability to use a USB mouse on Swap 2 is nice information, it is nonetheless an unknown as to how widespread mouse assist can be with different Nintendo Swap 2 video games. For instance, I can see USB mouse assist being glorious for Civilization 7 and Cyberpunk 2077 on Swap 2.
It’s price noting, although, that some first-party Nintendo video games won’t be a fantastic match for conventional mice. That features Drag x Drive and Metroid Prime 4: Past – each of which have relatively bespoke mouse management schemes that’ll presumably be higher suited to the Pleasure-Con 2 and its additional buttons.
Nonetheless, USB mouse assist is a good factor to see regardless. It may even open up the probabilities of, say, a Last Fantasy 14 On-line or The Elder Scrolls On-line ports to Swap 2 – assuming the console additionally has keyboard assist like the unique Swap did.
