Mario Paint makes nostalgic return to Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo Switch Online members can now access Mario Paint, a beloved game from 1992, originally for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game allows users to draw, create animated sequences, and compose music for a unique artistic experience. Switch 2 users can use the console's mouse functionality, while original Switch users need a compatible USB mouse. In addition, Nintendo has integrated the music from Mario Paint into the Nintendo Music App. Other classic games like Donkey Kong Country and Earthworm Jim 2 are also available on the service. Recently, the Switch 2 became the fastest selling video game console in US history, ahead of the PlayStation 4.

The introduction of Mario Paint on Nintendo Switch Online taps into a wave of nostalgia while leveraging modern capabilities. This move not only enhances the value of the subscription service but also illustrates Nintendo's commitment to keeping classic gaming alive in innovative ways. The success of the Switch 2 further emphasizes a robust market for these nostalgic experiences, with a new generation eager to rediscover gaming history through updated technology.
