I never thought I'd have to issue a spoiler warning for the Switch 2 system menu, but Nintendo is already revealing hidden mouse control Easter eggs

As we inch closer to the launch of Switch 2, N🅺intendo continues to provide tiny morsels of new information about the console via the Nintendo Today app's drip feed. This time, the company's reveal might actually be a spoiler, as it details a fun little Easter egg you might otherwise just stumble across on the꧙ system menu.

"There are some fun little details in the 'How to Use Mouse Controls' section of the Controllers setting on the HOME Menu," the latest Nintendo Today post says, showing a help menu𓆏 describing those mouse controls.

This tutorial reconfirms that you can use mouse controls in the home menu or "in compatible software," and the latter is demonstrated through a fake screenshot of a game where you click balloons to pop them. Except it's not quite so fake after all.

"Cli✃ck the icon on the instruction screen and a sound effect will play," the post continues. "Click on a balloon to pop it."

That's it – you just click the balloons and they pop. It doesn't tu♚rn into a whole secret minigame or anything, but I'm stillꦜ glad to see these kinds of details here. Nintendo's historically been known for packing a lot of personality into its UI design, but the Switch menu has always been pretty sterile, so it's nice to see Switch 2 lean in that direction a little more.
