Mario Paint on Switch: Prepare to Unleash Your Inner Picasso (With a Mouse, Seriously?)

Oh, JOY! 🤩 The illustrious Nintendo Switch Online is gracing us, the unwashed masses, with… Mario Paint. Yes, you read that right. The game that peaked in 1992 is back! 🥳 Because, let’s be honest, what else were you going to do with your subscription, play those OTHER “good” games? Pfft, peasant. 🙄

So, after a whopping 33 years of agonizing waiting, Mario Paint, the epitome of artistic expression (if your artistic expression involves pixelated Marios and the ability to create ear-splitting music 🎶), is finally back on a Nintendo platform. You know, because we were all just DYING to relive the magic. ✨

And get this, the original genius behind Mario Paint was that it let you use a MOUSE! 🖱️ A FREAKING MOUSE! To draw! Revolutionary, I tell you! And now, with the Nintendo Switch 2 (which totally exists, don’t even question it), you can use the Joy-Con 2 as a…wait for it…MOUSE! 🤯 It’s like they read our minds or something. 🧠 Check out the trailer below, if you dare. 👀

But wait, there’s more! You don’t even NEED a Nintendo Switch 2 (again, it exists, stop asking). The original Nintendo Switch and its OLED cousin can also bask in the glory of Mario Paint. Just plug in a mouse! 🖱️ Any mouse! It’s like a retro gamer’s wet dream (if their wet dream involves incredibly basic drawing software). 🌈

Nintendo themselves, in their infinite wisdom, declared: “Connect a compatible USB mouse (sold separately) to play the game on your Nintendo Switch system. If you’re playing on a Nintendo Switch 2 system, you can use the Joy-Con 2 controller like a mouse and let your imagination run wild.” See? They care about EVERYONE. Even the poor souls stuck with the old Switch. 💖

So, there you have it. Mario Paint is back. Go forth and create! Or, you know, just draw crude doodles and annoy your roommates with the music. Whatever floats your boat. 🛥️ Just remember to keep paying that Nintendo Switch Online subscription fee, because without it, how else would you experience the pinnacle of gaming artistry? 🤔
