The hottest switch 2 accessory can be … the soaking desk

One of the most interesting rumors of Nintendo Switch 2The joy of joy was that you could use them as computer mice. Now that the feature has been confirmed in April 2 Nintendo Directand we have seen him be used for action and strategy gamesThis is quite clear: the most necessary accessory for the new switch 2 is a desk for a precipice.

Given its rich history of introduction crazy new ways to control gamesNintendo may be forgiven for the introduction of a new control function into the console, which is otherwise to a large extent identical to its predecessor. But the switch 2 is the sofa console when it is connected and freely roaming in another way-rarely close to a flat surface to use the functionality of the Joy-Cons mouse.

As the owner of a desk, fan and evangelizer, the tour desk is the obvious answer to the mouse problem: portable around the house, multifunctional for work or play and somewhat accessible. Or at least, there are reasonable options that are not more expensive than $ 90 that Nintendo wants Switch 2 Joy-Cons.

Although yes, every flat surface will technically do, just look at the gameplay for the Drag X Drive, where the players are shown, managing their double joys up and back in a quick sequence. This seems difficult to make on a makeshift surface as a clipboard or container cover. And for strategic games like Civilization 7, imagine that you do not have a wide surface to move around the map and click the menus and off the menus.

Nintendo’s TreeHouse flow for the Drag X Drive startup game showed how to use both mouse mode to move around. The presenter – a desk game – noted that players can release the controllers flat on their feet as alternative surfaces.

As Scot Stein from CNET scored in his Hand with the switch 2The use of the joy of his feet was “a little less tiring” than a desk-but probably works only well for play like Drag X Drive, which relies on forward and forth and not aside (unless you really handle the wrapping around your legs).

It is worth noting how little of Switch 2 to start games on 2 And those who come later have mouse functionality-at the moment only Sliding X Drive requires it, while the CIV 7 and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond optional Joy-Cons in Mouse mode. Mario Party Jamboree will also add mouse functionality to its Switch 2 version. We’ll wait to see how many games really take advantage of this control potential.

I admit that the prices of Switch 2 and $ 80 MARIO KART World are already in a scattered feathers, so the expectation of gamers to pay more for furniture just to get basic functionality for certain games is a great request. But for all those crusaders on the sofa that plan their most relieving way to play, the soaked desk is the best way to have a Switch 2 and a mouse with it.
