The lack of mouse mode is the let down of the year! I was waiting for the Switch 2 version as I thought it would surely support mouse mode. Well, I guess I have more time to play Fire Emblem then!
I LLOOOVEEE the map thing in the Zeldas! Gives me a bit of that Wii U magic, that I thought would be lost forever. I hope they are making something like that for other games too!
Thimbleweed Park is just the best, and I joked that I would fund the sequel my self if I could! I would have funded a Switch 2 version of the 1st one with mouse mode too for keeping the fans engaged and expanding the audience.
We gobbled the Mermaid Mask with my kids in two days and as many nights and now my kids are playing their second rounds of it with their friends. And their friends are so enamored of it, that even when they have Switch 1’s, they are planning to buy Switch 2s for playing Mermaid Mask with their friends.
I forgot to add. I enjoy mouse mode so much, that I want more people to find it. Nintendo Life has an article listing games that have mouse mode, but it is out of date.
I was already skipping this when I didn’t see mention of mouse mode in the direct, but now it’s day 1.
I can’t live without the mouse mode. The Joy-con mouse works so beautifully in sofa, and its rumble features and gaming buttons and analog stick working as 2-axis mouse wheel combined with it’s second controller half giving perfect freedom for your hands and complete the game controller needs, make this controller configuration the most comfortable controller ever for me.
I like the mouse mode so much, that I only buy games that have mouse mode.
Mermaid Mask, the sequel for Tangle Tower from the developers of Snipper Clips and Crow Country is one of the ever made for fans of murder mysteries. I especially enjoyed the mouse mode option in it.
Thimbleweed Park is one of my favourite games ever! I wish that they would make Switch 2 version of it while waiting for the sequel! I would rebuy it for MOUSE MODE! (I will buy every point&click game that has mouse mode)
Gameshare with gamechat would be awesome too! Point&click games are amazing for playing together!
Yeah, it’s frustrating, that not every one point & click game has not yet become for Switch 2 with mouse mode, and where the hell are all the RTS games!? Gimme even just one!
But while waiting for more there is at least 3 TOP quality point and click games with mouse mode: Drifter Broken Sword Mermaid Mask
I love the mouse mode and after a bit of getting accustomed to it, it’s now BY FAR my favourite gaming mouse ever.
And specifically because of it’s practicality and comfort; I can loiter how ever in our sofa and it works on any surface and I can finally play anything just lying on a sofa and keeping my hands how ever I like!
I especially like that it is a game controller! Mouses rarely have rumble, let alone HD rumble, but this has, and it also has clicky, tactile, razor sharp feeling gaming buttons and analogue stick, and if I want, with a flick of a wrist it is game controller, and when I want mouse, it immediately becomes a mouse again. And my other hand is free to do what ever.
And the face buttons is particularly one of its best features, at least for me, perfectly sitting under my thumb. Easy to use, and because of layout, easy to memorize as well!
I cannot live without mouse mode any more, and don’t want to play anything without it! Nothing makes me buy games, like mouse mode! As a matter of fact, the mouse mode has rejuvenated my excitement of gaming again! Fortunately, there is A LOT to buy. Here’s a nice list of Switch 2 games supporting mouse mode:
@WaveBoy Yes!!! We need Goemon! And we need Goemon now!
It’s a shame, that we are not getting new Goemon games every now and then, but it is an absolute disgrace that we need to raise a stink about even getting the already existing collection brought to west!
Konami! You cowards!!! At least release some of them in the online service! At the very least the already localized ones! And I would rather take non localized Goemon games, than not have anything at all!
The Drifter is SO good! One of the all time best point&clickgames! The mouse is perfect!!!
My kids picked it up once they saw me playing it and now they are showing it to their friends. Even my wife wanted to play it through with me once she got hooked on the story.
I cannot wait for more point & click games for Switch 2! I would rebuy every point and click game I have ever bought if they have mouse mode!
I also recommend the absolutely amazing Broken Sword Remake on the Switch 2 for absolutely every one.
The mouse mode feels absolutely amazing and the diamond layout and the clicky quality of the buttons is perfect! The rumble and analogue stick seals the deal and makes it my favourite gaming mouse ever combined with the another Joy-Con!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I want the mouse mode in Diablo more than almost anything in the world! Diablo 4 with mouse mode has been my sweetest day dream ever since the Switch 2 announcement!
If there ever was a game that would benefit from Switch 2 version, it would be this.
Among the dreams of RTS and point and click games that immediately arose after seeing the Switch 2’s mouse mode, was the dream of picross game with mouse controls.
——EDIT——
Nevermind. Just noticed it HAS a mouse mode! Yahoo! Sold!
At first I only saw mention of Switch 1 and saw clumsy console controller controls in the video and got a bit salty.
