The gaming industry's worst-kept secret, the Nintendo Switch 2, was 🏅finally revealed last month, with more information set to be unveiled in early April. That said, the reveal was rather anticlimatic given t𓃲he number of leaks that the console experienced in the days, weeks and months ahead o꧒f the announcement.
Still, there's a lot to be excited about when it comes to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch 2, including 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the presence of a new Mario Kart, plus the confirmation that Metroid Prime 4 will♐ launch this year.

The Mouse Is Real, Folks
, a patent filing . Specifically, it denotes:
The sensor for mouse operation deteꦜcts reflected light from a detected surface, the light changing by moving over the detected surface in a state in which either the first s♓ide surface or the second side surface is placed on the detected surface.
.
It appears that it will be possible to use one Joy-Con in a traditional manner while utilizing the second Joy-Con as a mouse. "The user may use one of the fi𓄧rst input device 1 and the second input device 2 as a mouse, and the other of the first input device 1."
Additionally, it appears possible to use both Joy-Cons as a mouse at the same time, though it's unclear how exactly that would play out. "When the first input device 1 and the second input device 2 each have a mouse operati🔯on sensor, each of the first input device 1 and the second input device 2 𝓀can be used as a mouse," .
One thing is for sure, though, iꦯf April's presentation wasn't already must-watch, then this new patent filing certainly makes it so. It'll be interesting to see how Nintendo inteಌgrates the mouse into its games besides the obvious RTS and TBS functionality.
