Alright hear me out.
1: Code Name S.T.E.A.M is a Nintendo game for the 3DS based around U.S public domain characters that used the stylus for aiming.
2: The Switch 2 reportedly has a mode where the controllers can work like a mouse, meaning it can replicate stylus style aiming.
3. The public domain has expanded since the original release of Code Name S.T.E.A.M.
4. Mickey Mouse's debut was in Steamboat Willy.
5: Video game versions of public domain characters have appeared in Smash, such as Castlevania's version of Dracula.
There is a specific set of actions Nintendo could take now where bringing back Code Name STEAM lets them put their own version of Mickey Mouse in Smash.
