During the Switch 2 reveal event in January, Nintendo showed off the console’s updated Joy-**** controllers and seemingly teased mouse-like functionality. Such a feature would be “intriguing,” according to Civilization VII executive producer Dennis Shirk.

Shirk told

, “It’s definitely intriguing.” A control setup like that could in theory help games like Civilization be embraced on console, but it’s too soon to say if the mouse-like controls for Switch 2 are real or if Civilization VII could come to the Switch 2 (the game is only confirmed for the original Switch right now). Shirk said it “would be cool” for the Switch 2 to offer some kind of mouse-like control functionality.

“You always do some trade-offs when you have to deal with pure console controls. And the [Switch 2] announcement has some great stuff in it. I love what they’re doing with the controllers. It’s all very cool. That’s about all I can say about it in terms of an opinion. I think it looks awesome and they’re not wrong, so it would be cool for something like that.”

While Civilization VII is not a confirmed title for Switch 2, the system supports backwards compatibility, so it’s possible it could play on the system.

In related news, former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida also discussed the Switch 2’s Joy-**** controllers and the apparent mouse-like controls. Yoshida said he hopes Nintendo uses the mouse controls, if they’re real, for “some more weird, amazing way” that people won’t see coming, as opposed to the control setup being used to play a game like Call of Duty on Switch 2.

Nintendo will share more information about the Switch 2 in April during a Nintendo Direct event dedicated to the console, at which time the company is expected to reveal lots more on the system.
