Nintendo Today Shares Switch 2 Home Menu Mouse Controls

Leading up to the Switch 2 launch, new Nintendo Today mobile app articles highlighted different features, and the latest looked at the Home Menu and its mouse controls. Someone can use the Joy-Con 2 controllers, the touch screen, or the mouse option to sift through things on the new console.

In case you don’t have Nintendo Today, here are two screenshots I took of the article in the app. That basically highlights how someone can choose different navigation options depending on what they prefer. Then, it looked at a trailer.

And here are some screenshots I took of the video that showed examples of the Switch 2 Home menu and its mouse controls. The segment begins by showing how a person could use mouse controls to navigate the menu. We see the user scroll over to the Joy-Con 2 settings. There, we get a brief glimpse at the “How to Use Mouse Controls” tutorial. That also involves a test showing how the analog stick can be used to go through menus. The video ends by showing you can immediately go back to standard controls by turning the controller and using it as normal.

Prior to the May 12, 2025 look at the Switch 2 Home menu, Nintendo used the Nintendo Todayapp to highlight box art for the system’s games. That focused on a closer look at the Mario Kart World design. The gallery there allowed us to see how it would look in different regions.

The Switch 2 debuts on June 5, 2025.
