Nintendo producer Kouichi Kawamoto says the inspiration for the Switch 2's mouse-like Joy-Cons came to him while playing PC games, and that special adjustments have been made so you can "control the mouse on your pants.

The Nintendo Switch 2's full unveiling on April 2 has confirmed one of its most exciting new features: mouse functionality. You can indeed use the console's new Joy-Con controllers like a computer mouse, opening up possibilities for point-and-click adventures and strategy games to be an even better experience on the system.

The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct has finally given us our first taste of what Nintendo's new system can do, and one of it's biggest draws could be mouse controls — one more revolutionary way to play.
