Rumored Mouse-Like Joy-Con Feature for Switch 2 Draws Interest from Civilization 7 Producer

Dennis Shirk called the potential functionality 'intriguing,' though its integration remains speculative.

Nintendo's reveal of the Switch 2 hinted at Joy-Con controllers with possible mouse-like functionality, sparking interest in its gaming applications.
Civilization 7 executive producer Dennis Shirk described the rumored feature as 'intriguing,' noting its potential to enhance console strategy games.
Shirk expressed enthusiasm for the Switch 2's controller innovations but did not confirm any plans for Civilization 7 to utilize the rumored feature.
The Switch 2 is expected to launch in 2025, with more details, including the rumored mouse functionality, anticipated during an April Nintendo Direct event.
If confirmed, the feature could make the Switch 2 more compatible with PC-focused games, addressing control limitations for genres like real-time strategy.
