      Zero Punctuation floated the idea it would be used in something like a, sequel to Mario Maker 2, with 3 using 3D environments.

      Either way, this opens up Nintendo for a bunch of different genres again that weren’t really touched on since the NDS era, such as RTS games.

    People would go nuts for Mario Paint 2. Easy sharing and live collaboration…

    That’s actually kinda fascinating. I wonder if Nintendo is gonna try to compete with the Steam Deck and give the Switch 2 actual PC functionality. Of course, “PC mode” would almost certainly be locked down in traditional Nintendo style so it wouldn’t actually be able to compete, but it’d be interesting to see them try.

      I think this is a tacit admission from Nintendo that they consider the Steam Deck a competitor. Whereas for so long they have really not considered either Sony or Microsoft as competitors in their space.

      If it brings more PC M+K style games to the Switch then that is only a good thing for the consumer I think, and there may even be a plus side for stuff like Metroid Prime 4 having mouse aim which would be cool.
