BigJKO Posted January 16 Amazing! Is that a new Mario Kart? And the joy-cons working like a Mouse?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillTheCat Posted January 17 I'm curious why they stuck two optical sensors in the "mouse" bit on each side. What could that be for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted January 17 Good catch! I haven't seen any site mention that there's dual optical sensors. Maybe it's for determining the orientation of the mouse, e.g. for rotating a brush when painting in Mario Paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted January 21 It's just like good ole Ninty to mush a bunch of readily available tech components together for novel interface ends. I read somewhere that Nintendo stock fell 5% after the announcement and that this heralds the end of Nintendo as the pinnacle of innovation blah blah, but having looked it up, it looks like Nintendo stock has since (a week ago ¬¬) more than corrected. Regardless NTDOY is trading near its all-time record highs and people write weird shit about stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted January 21 I'm looking forward to it. I know it looks like it will just be an upgraded model but the possible mouse functionality could be fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henke Posted January 22 Looks good. Mouse functionality is a neat addition, tho I do wonder how comfortable it'll be to use for longer sessions. I'd also love it if this thing could connect to a TV without needing a dock, just hdmi cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted June 16 Just got me and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've really mostly been playing Mario Kart World on it but I love that. The Welcome Tour is......fine. I'm really hoping some adventure games for the Switch 1 get the mouse controls ported to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted Tuesday at 10:10 AM Yes! I got one too. Mario Kart World is pretty amazing. Plays real nice, the Free Roam is really chill and Knockout Tour is fantastic especially online. Looks gorgeous. Music is fabulous. Soundtrack of the year. I've also started playing Tears of the Kingdom again. The new updates are pretty substantial. Feels so good to play it in 60fps. And I forgot how much fun this game is. And I'm looking forward to Bananza. That direct really sold me on it. Looks like Odyssey but with Donkey Kong.
