This is one of the indie titles I am most looking forward on the Switch 2. It's a mixture of Part Time UFO, Pico Park and Snipperclips!

Please have a look

Nitrome don't even have a Switch 2 development kit... so how are they developing the mouse mode? Jejeje, like this:

Good outside the box thinking.

Cool to see a dev outside Ninty making good use of the mouse feature.

I can see this finding success as Snipperclips did, the Switch audience seems very open to smaller indie experiences.

Smoke and mirrors. Would work the same without the attached Joy-Con 1

The joycon mouse controls does not only use the optical sensor, it can also use other inputs such as the gyroscope which is what is happening here.

Here is another example that was shown during the Direct: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Y30ee6TmbG8

Ah, now I see it. The Joy-Con is for the rotation of the window wiper.

It's very subtle, I also had the same idea when I first saw the trailer.

Initially assumed it was using the gyros, but afterwards thought you could get the same effect by pulling the handle of the wiper and dragging it around. In the end the gyros were confirmed when I saw that Frankenstein Joy-con 2 video

Cutest game on Switch 2 so far!! ^^

Neat idea. If it turns out good I might check it out if it is also priced reasonably.

Also Nintendo, give those devs some dev kits!

You make it sound like Nintendo still hasn't handed out dev kits to anyone.

No I didn't. I'm just going off the tweet included in the first post where the devs directly ask Nintendo Europe for dev kits. Granted it is dated Apr 10 so maybe they have received dev kits since then.
