Mouse controls are one of the Switch 2's big new features. Optical sensors allow the upgraded Joy-Con controllers to aim and navigate on the console as if you were playing on a PC. But the Switch 2 is also a portable console.

To show off a combination of the two elements, today's Nintendo Direct had a golf game called Speed Golf, where players use the mouse and gyroscope to angle how they hit a golf ball. This is described as a tech demo in the presentation and that seems about right.

Even after Nintendo basically confirmed that the Switch 2 would incorporate mouse functionality right into its diminutive controllers, I erred on the side of skepticism. Could the Switch actually replicate one of the most universal ways people play games into their console in such a novel way?
