BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
From the era of the SNES to Nintendo Switch Online, comes Mario Paint, Nintendo’s mouse-centric, artist experiment.
Paint the town
Never a company to shy away from trying something new, Mario Paint was a one-off that most fans should remember quite well. More a piece of software than a game, Mario Paint came packed with another one-off from the company. That’d be the Super Nintendo mouse, which players could make good use of.
Using that input, SNES players could actually create their own artwork via Mario Paint, and even forge rudimentary animation. There was a bit more to it as well, and fans will be happy to know that the just-dropped Nintendo Switch Online version includes both the Coloring Book and Gnat Attack features.
Yep, Mario Paint is back and out now. The title landed for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and yes, still supports a mouse. Of course, there is no official mouse this time, so players will be able to use any USB mouse with their original Switch console as an input device. Have a Switch 2? Well, then you bet that you can make use of that joy-con 2 (in mouse mode) as well.
The 1992 Super NES game turns your system into a canvas, with an array of colors and drawing tools available to create digital works of art. You can even animate your drawings and compose music to craft your own video creations! Get ready to unlock your inner artist using the Joy-Con 2 controller’s mouse functionality on Nintendo Switch 2, or by using a compatible USB mouse (sold separately) on a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch – OLED Model system.
And just like in the original game, you can access the Coloring Book featuring fun designs and character art or play the Gnat Attack training game for some extra mouse control fun.
Nintendo Switch Online is a paid membership service that gives players access to a multitude of benefits, including a library of classic games and online play in compatible games. Nintendo Switch 2 players can use the GameChat2 feature to connect with friends through voice, video or screen sharing.
