Nintendo doesn’t think Mario Maker will negatively impact sales of the main games

NE: Mario Maker is unique in that it will allow players to create their own Mario levels for the first time. This led EDGE to ask Nintendo producer Takashi Tezuka in its latest issue if he believes the Wii U game could harm sales of future Mario titles."

Seriously doubtful it ever would. For one it's the conventional 2d mario, even if they recreated all the VC titles it would not feel the same. Also, providing the next mario is 3d or 3dland style. 2d fan made mario levels simply cannot compete.

However I hope this will help nintendo to get new Ideas on what to do with the basic 2-d mario formula by seeing what fans do with all the tools.

Last i heard they're still "considering" online sharing which is very silly, the main appeal of this type of game is making levels so others can play them and not yourself. If they end up saying no then all interest in this game is lost to me, emulators have had custom levels online for years for SMW.

dont spread false info, they are sharing online

@Gemmol It wasn't my intention, i said last i heard.

Starbucks_Fan3514d ago

Why would it? Especially future 3D Mario games.

Geekman3514d ago

"Super Mario 128!" Actually, no, that names terrible. "Super Mario 64 2."

Scatpants3514d ago

It does illustrate how easy it was to make all of those New Super Mario Bros. games. They probably made them in 2 weeks.

Summons753514d ago

I think your over assuming it's simplicity. Sure it going to be tons of fun quickly building the trolliest levels but NSMB levels require a lot of thought and balance. I can easily see people spending weeks tweaking just one level to make it perfect like in Little Big Planet or Far Cry's map editor.

Scatpants3514d ago

Im guessing 1 person can design a level in 1 week. They probably have at least 10 people designing levels that would be 10 levels a week. Even if it took twice as long as that they could still throw one together quickly.

shaw983514d ago

Although the new super mario bros games have the same look, they actually make a whole new engine for it. They had to program this so you could edit with simple objects already created.

Kalebninja3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

this is them saying they wont be making side scroller Mario games anymore so have fun with this. :3 and that I will

A Fond Farewell To The Wii-U - GameRaven

The Wii U had a pretty rough time. At its lowest moments, people mocked it, laughing at the lack of games and third party support. Even when the system was in a good run of form, people still looked down on it. Like the toaster, from the film The Brave Little Toaster (yeah, i’m going … Continue reading A Fond Farewell To The Wii-U

Two of those are remakes so I didn't buy...replace the Zelda remakes with Tokyo Mirage Sessions for the unique experience, or Pikmin 3

CocoaBrother2659d ago

Wind Waker on the Wii U is still a fun game to play and the use of the gamepad for inventory was convenient; however, I do agree with the other two games you listed. If I had to add, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is a lot of fun.
Smash Bros. is a game my friends and I will always play. It's such a fun multiplayer game

iplay1up22659d ago

Tokyo Is okay so far, but I need to spend more time with it! Been moving, so have not spent much time gaming the past month. :(

deafdani2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

I'd add New Super Mario Bros U (easily the best in the "New" Super Mario Bros series), Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World and The Wonderful 101 to this list.

Edit: holy hell, how could I forget Mario Kart 8... I've already put around 150 hours on that title alone.

Not even worth it at that price, with such a tiny library of games available (and very few notable ones).

EddieNX 2658d ago

Theres actually a ton of really excellent games buddy Ive got the stack in front of me. You've missed out on loads of amazing games, that's the reality of whats happening here lol.

showtimefolks2658d ago

Metr

Huge library compared to ps4/Xbox one? Or ps3/Xbox 360 because either way it's not comparable

Some of the best games on wiiu are remaster

MetroidFREAK212658d ago

I'll be sure to grab one once they become scarce and are that low

pleasuretokill2658d ago

DKC Tropical Freeze
Super Mario 3D World
Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker
Mario Kart 8

The Wii U has some seriously awesome games!

Scatpants2658d ago

I hope they port Xenoblade to Switch.

deafdani2658d ago

There are rumors about Xenoblade X getting a Switch port.

I'm not interested on that one, seeing how I've already played it plenty on my Wii U, and finished it (but I'm nowhere near completing it, not even close).

I would love an HD remaster of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, though. What a masterpiece.

rjason122658d ago

Yeah I'm not too keen on the Wii U ports myself, especially considering they haven't been out too long (and still look nice) Wii games would be better (if they updated them)

Scatpants2655d ago

I skipped the WiiU so I'll probably be down to get a few ports of it's best games.

In Super Mario Maker For 3DS Announced & Release Date | Nintendo Direct 9.1.2016 Splurge Tells you about the nintendo 3DS Livestream called Nintendo Direct...

pcz2782d ago (Edited 2782d ago )

When are Nintendo going to actually show what the NX is and give details? Its getting very late in the year now.

Its getting to the point where the silence isn't one of mystery and suspense, but one of concern
