So, I just remembered what I used to do with Game Boy Camera.

See this post

And I had an idea. What if Nintendo made a modern day cheap digital camera, in the same shape as a game boy camera, inside a game boy pocket.

But the camera is a modern camera. And the screen is in full color. You could shoot various movie scenes, and upload them to your switch. Where you have the “Mario Movie Suite”. It’s like Mario Paint, but sooooo much more.

Not a real game boy, btw. The whole unit is all one piece, so don’t get excited that you can pull the camera and play games or put the camera in a different game boy. It’s just astetics.

So you upload a movie you shot on your Game Boy Camera. Inside the movie suite on switch you can use a controller, or hook up a mouse and keyboard (non-propriatary, so these don’t come with the package, but any mouse and/or keyboard will work. USB or bluetooth) to edit the videos. Then each edited scene can be placed in order.

While editing, you can put in special effects. You can use the audio editor to upload your own audio (maybe to add a music background, or special audio effects you’ve created). You can use the midi score to create your own music like in Mario Paint.

You can use premade animations, or draw your own.

And when you’ve finalized everything, the studio will save an MP4 on your memory card inside the switch that you can then transfer to a PC.

I feel like Nintendo, for all they care about creativity have REALLY been letting obvious ideas slip through the cracks.

They could even sell a $60 version of this software WITHOUT the peripheral, and you just use your cell phones camera. I think the more expensive version WITH the peripheral will be the real seller though. Even if I do think it’ll cost $60 more.

God dammit…now I got myself excited for software that isn’t even being considered right now!!!
