First rumoured days before Nintendo’s Digital Event, Mario Maker was eventually revealed to show off what was essentially a level editor for Super Mario Bros. It is something that has been a long time coming; fans have requested this for years, but have settled for online flash modifications and level editors that felt glitchy and, well, unofficial. However, thanks to the Wii U GamePad, editing levels just became easier.
The game resembles Super Nintendo’s Mario Paint and there’s no shame in the developer admitting that’s where the majority of the inspiration came from. A neat little trick is currently being able to switch from 1985′s original Super Mario Bros. to 2013′s New Super Mario Bros. U and there are more variations in the works as well. It is scheduled for release in 2015, but we’ve surely decided what we’re going to do once we get our hands on it. Here's ten different levels we're all likely to create in Mario Maker.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Im more looking forward to seeing cross game levels. I don't know how much space you will have to create but seeing levels from games other than Mario re-imagined in a Mario universe could be fun.
Someone should recreate Mario Forever from the Mario Frustration video! :D
There will also be the dick level that appears in any level creator ever made ever.
Mark my words, people will make dicks out of bricks, position coins like a dick and even the enemies positioned like a dick. It will be call Dicktopia.
I really wouldn't care for such a level, but let's be honest. It's going to happen. Humans can be immature when given the freedom to make what they want :p
Sounds about right.
I don't care, someone make Kaizo Mario.
