In unofficially announcing a DS version of Mario Paint for the second half of 2006, Nintendo may have “inadvertently confirmed a Revolution version as well.â€
“Nintendo plans to include painting, animation, and music functions in the game, which may be implemented together as one game or separated into three games like their Nintendogs series.â€
More Wi-Fi connectivity is in the works, as “the new Mario Paint will be a community-building game and users will be able to share their creations with other DS users and Revolution users.†The same source claims that the Revolution edition will also have 3D-modeling capabilities.
Finally, an online version of Pictochat that really takes advantage of the DS’s stylus-based abilities (and the Revolution’s hand-held capabilities). We expect galleries of Paint-produced masterpieces to be posted to the web as soon as the games are released next year.
