Mouse

The Mouse truly was a great little peripheral. It came bundled with Mario Paint along with a mouse cleaner and mouse pad. To my amazement, the mouse was compatible with 38 games. Of those 38, I used the mouse on Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings, Mario Paint, T2: The Arcade Game, Tin Star, and Vegas Stakes. The mouse really worked well with Jurassic Park, Mario Paint and Vegas Stakes while the Super Scope provided better control in T2: The Arcade Game and Tin Star. It would seem a no brainer at this point for Nintendo to revisit the Mario Paint franchise and release a Wii version with a new wireless mouse bundled with it. I'm sure it would match Wii Fit numbers.

I agree, a new version of Mario Paint would be a great idea.

I absolutely loved creating things on Mario Paint. Even if I wasn't particularly good, it kept me hooked. There was just so much to do. Make stamps, create the most annoying songs possible in the music generator, animate, and that addictive little game of flyswatter where you'd hit all the robotic bugs. Yeah the mouse and pad worked superbly (although I've long since lost my pad and the cleaner for the mouse). I actually never knew there were other games you could use the peripheral for.

Ah yes, that flyswatter game. I would turn it on sometimes just to play that. I should turn Mario Paint on again. 3 years ago I got about halfway in a Simpsons creation and never finished it.
