Just a little over two weeks until the game is released!
So here's a thought: Super Mario Maker 2 should support using a USB mouse.
The first Super Mario Maker on the Wii U utilized the Gamepad, naturally. But the way the Wii U worked, you could use the touch screen of the Gamepad to build levels but test and play levels on the TV. And it was seamless. But that is not the case with the Switch. You can use the touchscreen to build levels, but you would have to dock it to play on the TV, making it a huge pain to rapidly switch between the two.
If Nintendo would allow for a USB mouse as a controller option though, it would solve this problem. You could leave the Switch docked to place on the TV, and have the ability to build levels with the same level of ease (using a mouse and stylus on a touch screen are very comparable). The only annoyance would be having to put the mouse down and pick up a controller. But I would much rather juggle a mouse and a controller than have to either A) use a controller with a joystick to build levels or B) play the game entirely in handheld mode.
Honestly, there's no reason Nintendo shouldn't include this as an option. The dock already has USB ports and I'm guessing it would be some real simple code to use a USB mouse. It would be there for the people that prefer it, but it would be optional for the people that would rather just use a controller or play in handheld mode or care less.
