A Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can now play SNES Classic Mario Paint on Switch and Switch 2, with mouse support available on both platforms.
“In this classic title originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, you can use simple mouse controls to draw pictures with all sorts of colors and drawing tools,” Nintendo said of the new addition. “You can even create animated sequences and write music to add to your collage. Bring your very own video creations to life by combining animation and music with the art you’ve made!”
Players can use USB mice on both Switch or Switch 2 when playing, or take advantage of the Switch 2 Joy-Con 2’s in-built mouse support.
To play NES, Game Boy, and SNES Classics, you’ll of course need a base Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Here in Australia, that’ll set you back $29.95 AUD/$32.95 NZD for a yearly individual membership. An 8 account family membership is priced at $54.95 AUD/$60.95 NZD.
If you want to go even further and play N64, Game Boy Advance, Sega Mega Drive, and GameCube Classics — the latter exclusive to Switch 2 — you can grab a Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription for $59.95 AUD/$69.95 NZD for one year, or in a family bundle for $109.95 AUD/$119.95 NZD.
