If you’re a child of the ’80s like myself, it’s highly likely you get misty-eyed just thinking about Mario Paint .
Well, Mario Paint … is not coming back. Sorry. But we’re getting the next best thing: a software suite for the Wii called uDraw Studio and a drawing tablet known simply as “uDraw”. This new doodad is being made by THQ, and can be used with Nintendo’s console by simply connecting it to a Wii Remote.
The Super Nintendo Mouse that launched alongside Mario Paint eventually had dozens of compatible games , but for now the uDraw device has only three: the aforementioned uDraw Studio , Pictionary , and Dood’s Big Adventure . It’ll be out in time for the 2010 Holiday season, though no word on price yet – you can catch a promotional trailer below. Finally, stuff that needs to happen with this:
1. A souped-up Wii version of Yoshi’s Touch & Go 2. Flipnote Studio for Wii!
That is all. [Via press release]
