Early this morning, Nintendo revealed the primary look at its successor to the Nintendo Swap, seemingly and aptly named the Nintendo Swap 2. Within the quick video, Nintendo showcased some variations from its predecessor. As a part of this, a quick scene of the Swap 2’s controllers — known as Pleasure-Cons on the unique Swap by Nintendo — gliding throughout a floor as if functioning like a PC mouse is introduced.
There’s no accompanying textual content or narration to go together with this, so at finest proper now all we will do is speculate. A side-view of the Pleasure-Con appears to point out what appears like an optical sensor or one thing comparable. In that case, this might point out that the Pleasure-Con can work considerably like a PC mouse on a flat floor with the Swap 2.
When it comes to gaming functionality, this might present a extra correct management methodology for video games that require positive actions. Video games with manipulatable cursors, like real-time technique titles, may merely use a mouse without having to attach precise mouse {hardware}. It may even be used for shooters, however that will probably rely rather a lot on the accuracy and pace.
There are even different video games, like Nintendo’s personal Tremendous Mario Maker collection, that struggled a bit with controller-only interpretations however may discover new life with a reliable manipulatable cursor.
Till Nintendo decides to point out this function off (or dismiss this all as hypothesis), it’s all simply guess-work. The soonest we are going to know new details about the system and its software program is early April, in keeping with at this time’s video.
