The Switch 2 had a bit of an underwhelming launch, with Mario Kart World as its only big first-party draw, and lots of older ports to fill out the launch lineup. But two months after the console’s debut, there’s finally a Nintendo-made game taking full advantage of the hardware that’s worth getting excited about. No, it’s not Donkey Kong Bananza, it’s a three-decade old game originally released on the Super Nintendo.
While the Switch 2 is mostly just a beefier version of the original console, it does come with one interesting — and a little baffling — new feature. Mouse mode might not be the kind of idea that gets implemented into most games, but for titles like Drag x Drive, it enables a completely different experience. Decades before mouse mode, Nintendo already tried experimenting with adding a mouse to its console, and the best game ever to use it, Mario Paint, is now on Nintendo Switch Online.
