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.

I'm pretty excited for this feature honestly, I know a lot of games won't use it but still it's gonna be fun.

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.

From the article:

Though the livestream demonstrated the Joy-Con 2’s mouse function on flat surfaces, a press release shared by Nintendo to Business Wire confirms that sliding the Joy-Con 2 controllers over a pair of pants will also work.
