Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) (www.techradar.com)

With the official reveal of the mouse mode for the Switch 2's controllers there is the potential for so many classic games to flood the console.

Imagine what it could do with graphical adventure games, RTS games, management sims, etc.

We already know CIV VII will use the mouse, and I just hope this is just the beginning for a whole range of traditionally non-console games to finally make it to the platform.

If you make a game that requires mouse control, then you can't play it when you're away from a desk.

But-

If you make a game that works well with either joycon or mouse, then no one will use the mouse.

Turn based tactics or 4x games would absolutely benefit from both, and the touch screen. Being able to play Fire Emblem with any of the three depending on what's comfortable at the time would be wonderful.
