Nintendo's decision to add mouse controls is one of few new features to really distinguish the Switch 2 from its predecessor. It's hardly ground-breaking in the same way as motion controls on the Wii – we all know how to use a mouse, after all. Interestingly, new console Nex Playground has taken the Wii motion control idea to the next level, and removed controllers altogether. I'm not saying Nintendo needs to worry, but is it innovating in the same way as it used to?

Back just to make a quick life update: I’ve moved to Glasgow! But I’ve also virtually relocated for a while now to the Better Space, so that’s it from me here - see ya!

I mean, during my earlier trips to Japan, I’d see Sega everywhere at all the game centres. I wonder what happened to those… 🤔

Sega is set to open an official store in the same building as Nintendo Tokyo, it’s told VGC. “We need to do a lot more of that, because Sega is a consumer brand that is surprisingly not in front of consumers enough. Sonic is, but Sega isn’t.” https://t.co/N6BlrNFkFN https://t.co/nrrz50IBsQ
