Ever since the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, fans have been wildly speculating on a tiny detail from the trailer: the Joy-Cons. Specifically, their seeming use as mouse controllers, like on a PC, and the way they moved in the trailer. Now, we finally have official confirmation as to what they do: The Joy-Cons can operate in "mouse mode," which will allow players to slide the Joy-Cons across flat surfaces and use the analog sticks to simulate a left-click and right-click similar to a standard mouse. Additionally, two Joy-Cons can even be used in mouse mode simultaneously with one in each hand, or one in standard mode with the other in mouse mode. In other words, the game is your oyster. Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 Console SlideshowThe Nintendo stream demonstrated the capabilities of the Joy-Con in mouse mode via a sports game in the style of Rocket League featuring robot characters that use wheelchair-style vehicles to get around. The game is called Drag and Drive, and is styled as a three-on-three basketball game. In order to play, gamers have to use two Joy-Con controllers in mouse mode to wheel your character around the levels in an attempt to sink the ball into the basket. Fans have been theorizing about the Joy-Con mouse since we saw the reveal trailer, which had the Joy-Cons sliding around just like PC mice. In an effort to get more information, we tried to ask Firaxis, developer of Civilization 7, about it, and got a very cryptic answer in response. Features like this and the new C button fueled conversation about the console over the last month, especially as a rebuttal to criticisms that the Nintendo Switch 2 was playing things "safe" compared to Nintendo's usual adventurous spirit.You can catch up on everything announced at today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct right here.Lex Briscuso is a film and television critic and a freelance entertainment writer for IGN.
