Resident Evil Requiem for Switch 2 won’t use mouse controls as “too complicated”

Capcom has confirmed that mouse controls will not be an option for Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2 as they make the game feel too complex. The mouse controls offer aiming options for players, but the game’s producer Masato Kumazawa says that after testing mouse controls they decided against the option as they felt it made the game feel more complex and convoluted than it did with traditional controls. Here’s what Mr. Kumazawa had to say:

“Actually, we tried really hard to implement mouse controls for Nintendo Switch 2. When we did put it in, it confused and convoluted the gameplay and became too complicated. So actually, we are using gyro instead.”
