Its time for the first Switch 2 partner direct post console launch.

A long-rumored Nintendo Direct is taking place this month after all. The Mario maker announced a partner showcase will take place on July 31, marking the first new Nintendo Direct since the Switch 2 launched in early June.

Mario Paint is a classic SNES game that was released alongside a curious accessory for the SNES, the Super NES Mouse, which as the name suggests was a computer mouse for the SNES. The mouse plugged into a controller port on the console, and could then be used in various software, including Mario Paint, which was sold bundled with the mouse.
