3DS emulation appears to be fullspeed now

I think the main thing mice have going for them is the multiple buttons on them giving context for what kind of action you’re doing. RTSes rely heavily on that to distinguish selecting units and giving them orders, for instance. Mice also ergonomically pair with keyboards, whereas for touchscreens typically your other hand is used to hold the device so touchscreen + button combining games are not really a thing.

The fact that your touch swipe is totally contextless has limited a lot of genres from making it to touchscreens. Trauma Center cleverly makes the awkwardness of selecting action types on the side into a challenge and analogy for the surgeon hurriedly picking up tools from his tray – this leaning in to the ostensible weakness of the platform is why it’s one of the best touchscreen games.
