I was surprised to see that both left and right joycons have the mouse functionality. Was cool to see it in action with the wheelchair basketball game.
If you make a game that requires mouse control, then you can't play it when you're away from a desk.
But-
If you make a game that works well with either joycon or mouse, then no one will use the mouse.
People use mouse on Xbox. There will always be some
I doubt that no one will use it. If you make a good input method that works with a decent variety of games, some will switch to it. Perhaps Nintendo could even sell some sort of tray/mousepad that lets you use the mouse decently well while sitting on the couch. It seems odd, but I think it has potential.
From the article:
Though the livestream demonstrated the Joy-Con 2’s mouse function on flat surfaces, a press release shared by Nintendo to Business Wire confirms that sliding the Joy-Con 2 controllers over a pair of pants will also work.

RIP floors and tables.
The Legion did this and it was stupid. This is just a gimmick at best.
