Super Mario Maker

[erm2003]

Is anyone else besides me really excited? The more and more I watch demo videos or even just footage of people playing it (amateurs frustrate me) I really can't wait to get this mid-September. I hope it is a huge success because I wonder if this would ever lead to more of this type of game down the road. It really is a great use of the game pad and sharing courses online and rating them by how players perform on the course (not by the maker's opinion) is a great idea. I also like how the creator can't upload their course unless they have finished it themselves to prevent any trolls out there from ruining a good time.

If you haven't been looking into this title at all, which I would be surprised if you haven't at least seen something about it by now, then watch the videos below.

This is the E3 trailer.


A slightly longer video from IGN that shows more of the editor part way through.

Not really, 2D Mario games do not interest me much. they could add all the features in the world, but at the end of the day, it's a tool for making games and levels I have no interest in playing.

What? Mario is awesome, especially the harder levels. Gotta play this with friends/family, lots of laughs.

I think is looks amazing, but I'm not surprised, although I am disappointed that the Wii Fit Trainer is in it, but whatever.
I'd rather you choose who you play as when designing the levels. I hope they make a 3DS version, to be honest, but it's not looking like it.

I can imagine some people (such as those who use that unofficial online Mario Level Maker - whatever its called - will make some of the most sick stages for this. I'll probably not make anything too difficult and will probably make some stages that do fun things, but are neither easy nor difficult. But we'll just have to see when the game is released on what happens.

In other words, yes I am hyped for this. Day 1 purchase.

Super Mario Maker....never tried it before! May look into it sometime though. :3

A new video for Super Mario Maker has been released by Nintendo. Check it.

Time released secrets were bad enough in the arcades, I really am not happy Nintendo is bringing them to consoles.

Despite the time-released secrets, this does look like a lot of fun! Kind of reminds me of the old RPG Maker software. Of course, that didn't have a touch screen option like this does.

The time release is a little annoying but it only takes 9 days then you have it all unlocked forever. I am also hoping there is potential for expansion down the road with DLC or other options - hopefully free options too. You can already purchase and do the pre-load options through the store too. I just set that up last night.

I'm excited for it. I hope it does well, perhaps it could inspire Nintendo to realize a demand for other "Maker" titles, such as Metroid, or even Z...

You know. The Classics.
