One Game that Must be on the Switch 2

Nintendo recently announced the Switch 2, and one feature that stood out to me was the ability to use the Joy-Cons as a mouse. It reminded me of a somewhat obscure Mario game:

If you don’t know what this game was, it was a Mario-themed drawing game that was one of two Mario games that used the SNES Mouse controller. The reasons for why it should be on the Switch 2 are as follows:

1. The Switch 2 is the only other¹ Nintendo console to date with a mouse.
2. Mario Paint has never reappeared on any other Nintendo console.
3. It could be a big hit on the Switch 2’s version of Nintendo Switch Online.

There was one other Mario game that used the mouse: Mario & Wario. It was only released in Japan, so this could be a great time for it to go international.

1. The Nintendo 64 also had a mouse, but it was only for the Mario Artist series, a successor to Mario Paint, which was only released in Japan. ↩︎
