Grab Your Nintendo Switch 2 Mice, ‘Mario Paint’ Is Here

JUL 29 – Mario Paint returns on Nintendo Switch Online with mouse controls and is accessible to all members without Expansion Pack subscription, reviving a classic that sold over 2 million copies.

  • Nintendo added the 1992 Super Nintendo Entertainment System game Mario Paint to the Nintendo Switch Online SNES catalog for all subscribers to play now.
  • The re-release followed Nintendo's tradition of using hardware gimmicks, with Switch 2 Joy-Cons able to function as a mouse, essential for this game.
  • Players on Switch 1 must connect a compatible USB mouse to meet the mandatory mouse control requirement, while Switch 2 users can use Joy-Cons as mouse input devices.
  • Mario Paint includes a graphics editor, music composer, animation tools, and a soundtrack of 19 tracks now available on the Nintendo Music app.
  • This release renews nostalgia for the 33-year-old title and may encourage Nintendo to add more mouse-ready games and productivity software to its retro library.
