With this in mind, during the Q&A of Nintendo's latest financial results briefing, company president Shuntaro Furukawa reiterated how the service will "continue to be available for Nintendo Switch 2" while also mentioning how Nintendo will continue to "provide comprehensive services" to ensure users "enjoy their experience" with its hardware.

Newly-published Nintendo patents show that the company has been exploring a version of its Joy-Con controllers that can work like a computer mouse, a feature Nintendo has hinted will be coming to the Switch 2.

If we had to judge by the included diagrams, the trigger and bumper on each controller would act as the mouse click. Multiple included images show a hand with the thumb on the joystick. Multiple parts of the patent mention the use of the thumbstick, and we suspect it could act as the scroll wheel or serve some other scrolling function.
