Mario Paint comes to Nintendo Switch Online and, yes, it has mouse controls
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a tech demo that should have been a pack-in rather than costing $10. The Nintendo Switch Online SNES app now offers control remapping, which is a welcome accessibility update. A few Mario Paint tracks have joined the library in the Nintendo Music app as well.
That’s right, the all-time SNES classic Mario Paint just joined the service. The game only works with mouse controls, but original Switch users won’t be left out here, as they have the option to plug a compatible USB mouse into the console’s dock and create some art that way.
Mario Paint allows you to color in existing designs (of, say, Mario and Yoshi) or fill the segments with patterns. You’ll be able to create original art and animations too. There’s also a mini-game in which you can test your mouse-pointing accuracy by swatting bugs. Perhaps most importantly for many Mario Paint fans, the music creator is present. A few Mario Paint tracks have joined the library in the Nintendo Music app as well.
But that’s not all. The Nintendo Switch Online SNES app now offers control remapping, which is a welcome accessibility update.
