It has been a busy news day for Nintendo fans, mainly due to the rumor mill continuing to produce new rumors at an ever increasing rate. However, you may be surprised to hear that the latest rumor has nothing to do with the next Nintendo console. In fact, it is related to the retro libraries available on Nintendo Switch Online.
You see, a reliable dataminer named LuigiBlood has revealed that the SNES Nintendo Switch Online library has had SNES Mouse support hidden in its coding since launch. There hadn’t been anything new about it since, until the new SNES games were added to the retro library yesterday. According to LuigiBlood, there has been some kind of major rework to the SNES Mouse support code. The additional coding has apparently added SNES Mouse support for both controller ports, the ability to replace inputs of SNES Mouse devices, and even a different behavior mode.
It highly suggests that Nintendo is, at the very least, looking into making SNES Mouse support actually work on the SNES Switch Online emulator. That all said, it is worth noting that Nintendo hasn’t officially announced anything about the matter. It is also worth noting that it is not known at this time whether Nintendo will actually be able to add SNES Mouse support to it in the first place. If there are any further developments about this, we’ll let you know.
Mario Paint on Switch would be amazing!

Ooh Mario Paint when please!
That would very so amazing oh my god!~
Does this mean we could get nintendo computer games?
Nintendo is smart unlike Sony so No. Nintendo exclusives are true exclusives.
And yet you can just plug in a regular mouse and keyboard to a Playstation via the USB port and don’t need an accessory from the SNES .. and Nintendo is the smart one.
You’re clueless if this rumor meant that Nintendo will support/re-release the SNES mouse. It’s probably just a placeholder in the code itself with nothing substantial coming out of it. Also Nintendo are smart since you can only play Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles. True exclusives. Unlike Sony where most of their games already and will be on Steam. No need for $700 PS5 Pro lol.
Aww, the sissy Sony Pony is crying that someone insulted his precious PlayStation.
How cute.
Mario & Wario. Mario’s Super Picross also had SNES Mouse support.
Nintendo has not closed studios and even less laid off unlike Sony and Microsoft who are facing great difficulties to the point of being forced to become multiplatform to survive… so what, it’s not enough to boast of having sold so many PS4s or PS5s to be in the green Mr Sony…
I add to that that if one day Nintendo had to do the same: it would be panic among other publishers who will have to face the competition of their license….
