Nintendo Switch 2's home menu has a nice feature

Summary

Switch 2 has a mouse mode for Joy-Con control in the home menu, which enables new navigation options.
The mouse position uses the Joy-Con control units in unique ways, such as simulating a rolling wheel.
Mouse mode is supported in specific Switch 2 games and apps, which offers potential for new gaming features.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Home menu can be navigated with the Joy-Con controls in mouse mode, according to a new video released by Nintendo on social media. Switch 2 Joy-Con-Video showed how users can navigate the home menu when Nintendo's upcoming console hits store shelves on June 5.

As a successor to the original switch, Switch 2 contains several upgrades from its predecessor. Together with a larger screen and improved graphic force, Switch 2's Joy-Con control units have additional features and can support some strange configurations, such as being connected to the console in the reverse direction. Alongside a dedicated C button for gamechat is Joy-Con 2's main glimpse mouse mode, which can be used by turning a Joy-Con controller on its long side and moving it along a flat surface like a PC mouse. Both left and right Joy-Con 2 control units can be used in mouse mode.

Nintendo updates its Eula to potential brick brackets if it discovers mods.

New Nintendo Eula says it can make consoles “permanently useless” if piracy or modifications are detected

Nintendo updates its end user's license agreement to say it can make consoles unusable if players change their consoles or manipulate with their software.

While Switch 2's mouse mode can be a gold mine for developers and players, the new feature also has a nice use from the box. In a video from the Nintendo Today app, shared by Twitter user Oatmealdome, Nintendo revealed that Joy-Con 2's mouse mode can be used to navigate in Switch 2's home menu and other system functions. Nintendo shared a tutorial video clip about how Switch 2's mouse mode works on the home menu and used the right Joy-Con 2 controls as an example. After attaching the wrist strap and turning Joy-Con on its long side, Switch 2 will be changed to the mouse position. The video then showed how mouse mode can be used to access the Switch 2 Main Hub menu menu, with the R button that simulates a left-click function.

The right stick was used in the same way as a rolling wheel, with rolling down that was emulated by leaning the stick against the user's palm. However, it is not clear if the ZR button will be used to simulate right click. While the Joy-Con 2 steering units have other features transferred from the original switch, such as Gyro Controls and Amiibo support, mouse mode functionality will only be supported in specific Switch 2 games and apps. Some of these games include 3V3 Wheelchair Basket Title Pull x drive.

With Switch 2, which is expected to sell over 15 million units within the first year, many players will soon be able to test Joy-Con's new mouse mode. Only time will show how many games will develop with mouse mode in mind.
