They seem to be implying that you can turn the joycons on their side to use them kind of like a mouse... I guess?

At least that's what the rumors and chatter have been saying. How practical that is... I dunno.

It looked like they were mimicking cars to me, not mice. Not saying that it wouldn't be a cool concept if it has an optical sensor. But they didn't show any visual feedback to imply they were controlling any kind of cursor. If that was the implication, it's obvious it was a rushed marketing piece.

They were attached to an accessory that allowed them to slide like that. It must have a point other than just look cool on the trailer.

Weren't those accessories just wrist straps?
