Playing the Gold Saucer minigame Air Force One in Final Fantasy XIV on Nintendo Switch 2, using the Joycon mouse mode.
Captured on Nintendo Switch 2.
Air Force One is one of the Gold Saucer's GATE minigames, an on-rails shooter where you ride a preset course and shoot down as many cactuar targets as possible for MGP, while avoiding Ruby Bombs that dock your score. Because the entire minigame is built around aiming and firing at targets that spawn, move and overlap across the screen, it turns out to be a brilliant match for the Nintendo Switch 2's Joycon mouse mode, which lets you aim with the precision of a pointer rather than a control stick.
This video shows Air Force One played entirely in mouse mode, giving a real look at how well the Switch 2's signature control feature works in a game that genuinely benefits from it. For a minigame that is otherwise pretty relaxed, the added precision of mouse aiming makes lining up targets and chasing a high score feel great.
Whether you are an FFXIV player curious about how mouse mode handles in the Gold Saucer, a Switch 2 owner interested in seeing the Joycon mouse feature in action, or simply here for some Air Force One gameplay, this video gives you a look. Subscribe for more FFXIV Switch 2 content.
