Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Images Apparently Emerge, Could Tease Unexpected Feature
Mouse and.. joystick?
The new Joy-con appear to have an optical sensor similar to a mouse on the side, so people are speculating now they could be used as a mouse https://t.co/mrxPvE5WPd

If true, Switch 2 wouldn't be the first gaming handheld to offer mouse-like features built into the device. The Lenovo Legion Go has detachable controllers like the Switch, with the right gamepad able to function like a mouse.
Last month, a report emerged claiming that Nintendo's upcoming system will in fact be called Switch 2. Apparently the hybrid system will utilize magnetic Joy-Cons as well, which was previously rumored for the console. It's unknown specifically when Nintendo will officially unveil the Switch successor, though it will be before the end of March.
Switch became the second-best-selling system in US history last month with 46.6 million units sold in the region. The console surpassed PS2 after November data rolled in for Circana. However, Nintendo DS still holds the top spot.
