PC is typically considered the go-to platform for strategy games, but in the case of the Switch 2, XCOM creator Julian Gollop sees great possibility for the genre to expand on the new Nintendo console, thanks to Joy-**** 2s offering mouse-like controls. While we have seen several strategy games on console make use of a custom control scheme instead of the regular mouse and keyboard experience–Frostpunk 2 and Age of Empires 2: HD being prime examples here–fans of the genre typically prefer a more traditional approach to playing these games.

. “Interestingly enough, a traditional-style mouse control RTS might work really well here, and also you’ve got at least a reasonable number of Switches you can use to substitute keyboard commands. It could be quite interesting. That’s probably something I would look forward to. That adaptation of the traditional mouse and keyboard RTS using the Switch 2 controllers might be pretty cool.”
