Switch 2 mouse controls improve Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave gameplay

Mouse support on the Switch 2, first found useful in Pokopia earlier this year, has been adopted as the primary control method across several strategy and card games. Playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave with a mouse became the preferred way to play because clicking to select units and dragging cards feels more satisfying than using the D-pad. This demonstrates the Switch 2's mouse input works well for tactics and card interfaces, changing how some players approach these titles.

• Pokopia earlier this year showed the Switch 2's mouse controls could be a worthwhile addition to the console.
• The mouse was used as the primary control method in Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening and Balatro before being applied to Fortune's Weave.
• In Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, clicking selects units and dragging-and-dropping cards provides a more satisfying input than the D-pad.
• Mouse controls on the Switch 2 have proven effective across multiple strategy and card-focused games, altering preferred playstyles.
