I would be there day fucking one for that. I have zero artistic talent, but Mario Paint was one of my favorite SNES games. If they do this, I really hope they keep that fly swatter mini game.
If you have a joy con handy, take it and place it on a mousepad and move it around. It feels surprisingly good in the hand.
How great would Mario Maker 3 be if you had a mouse input to place all the blocks and select items and stuff.
Or maybe even a track editor for the new Mario Kart! That’d be sweet. And with the mouse they could really let you shape tracks and add foliage easier.
Or just make it where you can plug a mouse into the USB port. Or Bluetooth. Mario Paint for the SNES had a mouse. No need to get crazy designing stuff for dual functions
I have heard that the current Switch already supports mice, but very few games use it, since no one has a mouse connected to their Switch, since almost no games use it. If there is an (uncomfortable) mouse included in every Switch 2, game devs will be more willing to include mouse controls in their games. Players who play a lot of mouse enabled games will hook up a real mouse to their system. Much in the same way that every game for the current Switch supports Joycon controls even though many hobbyist gamers will use a more traditional controller.
Not just in sensor-down orientation, but sliding around on a surface in the new wrist strap attachment which appears to have sliders on the “bottom” now
The JoyCon mouse theory is looking pretty solid now
Mouse theory?
You’ll be able to use the joycons like you use a computer mouse for input.
There are rumors the joycon have an optical sensor on the side that would allow you to use them as a mouse on a flat surface
Does it? They did show the controllers in the sensor down orientation, but the mouse theory is too wacky.
It wouldn’t even be the first time Nintendo released a mouse.
Mario Paint 2 for Switch 2

They can easily do both (have the joycons mouse and ability to use a regular mouse).
And maybe you want to play a mouse game and only have the switch with you. Boom, you have a mouse with you already.
