Quick Facts
- Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
- New Control Feature: Joy-Con 2 mouse support

How Mouse Controls Work on Switch 2
According to Nintendo's official overview, the implementation of Joy-Con 2 mouse support allows players to handle tactical decisions with a different input style. Rather than relying solely on traditional thumbsticks and face buttons, players can point and click to move units across the grid-based battlefield and quickly pull up detailed statistics or menus.
Like other Switch 2 games supporting this hardware feature—such as Star Fox—Fortune's Weave does not lock players into a single input method. The system permits a seamless transition between button controls and mouse controls on the fly, depending on player preference during any given tactical phase.
Next Milestones
The tactical RPG is slated for release this September on the Nintendo Switch 2. Following recent information drops during a dedicated Nintendo Direct, players looking to test out the hardware's mouse mode functionality can expect more gameplay demonstrations ahead of launch.
