They released a whole new console just so they could add Mario Paint to the retro console player.
People would go nuts for Mario Paint 2. Easy sharing and live collaboration…
I can’t imagine this being comfortable. Maybe they will have a pro mouse.
I am sure they will. At least one third party accessory vendor has leaked that they are manufacturing a Switch 2 Mouse Grip (which is how the joycon mouse rumor started in the first place).
I’m thinking it will get the job done for casual use since the Joycon is a bit bigger than last time and the shoulder buttons extend out a bit.
I’d be all about going for an ergonomic pro version since I’ll be using the feature while docked anyways though. I’m sure a compant like Hori will jump at the opportunity. Hell, maybe even any wireless mouse will work? Just happy that it means lots of games will have the functionality. Analog character movement plus mouse aiming is the best of both worlds.
The picture looks like they’ve added stapler functionality, which I’m very excited for.
Excited for Mario paint 2? Definitely.
Excited to need a tabletop to use this? No.
Excited to scratch surfaces with this? Also no.
Maybe they’ll come out with some official mousepad. I can’t wait to see if they do Mario Paint and a new Mario Maker with this too, though.
Mario maker made every system a must buy for me, lol
Do you scratch surfaces with regular mice?
Have you tried rubbing plastic on a surface for an extended period of time?
be interesting if this functionality is intended for wii titles
Zero Punctuation floated the idea it would be used in something like a, sequel to Mario Maker 2, with 3 using 3D environments.
Either way, this opens up Nintendo for a bunch of different genres again that weren’t really touched on since the NDS era, such as RTS games.
