Civilization 7 Dev Firaxis Remains Coy on Nintendo Switch 2 ‘Mouse’ Joy-Con

Author : Alexis Update:Feb 25,2025

The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal showcased a potential "mouse" mode for the Joy-Cons. A segment in the trailer depicts detached Joy-Cons placed on a surface, connecting to flat-bottomed connectors and moving like a mouse on a mousepad. A possible slider pad on a connector further supports this theory. Pre-reveal rumors suggested this functionality, attributing it to an internal sensor similar to those in computer mice. However, Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed this feature or its implications.

The reveal sparked speculation about potential adaptations for games like Civilization 7, already confirmed for the original Switch. An IGN interview with Civilization 7's lead designer and executive producer yielded a suggestive response regarding the potential for a Switch 2 version utilizing this mouse functionality. While the lead designer remained tight-lipped, the executive producer hinted at the intriguing possibilities and the advantages of this innovative controller design.

While Firaxis won't announce a Switch 2 version of Civilization 7 directly (that's 2K Games' role), the April Switch 2 Direct might shed light on this. Despite the uncertainty surrounding mouse support and the new Joy-Con button, the Switch 2's 2025 release (likely June-September) and a new Mario Kart title are confirmed. Further details on the Switch 2 are readily available.
