Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
Super Mario Maker has been a great series for Nintendo, but it is time to move on. How about a Metroid Maker? That would be interesting! Check out Jason Capo’s thoughts for more.
Metroid certainly would be cool, but 100% Zelda dungeon maker should be the priority! It makes the most sense!
The only issue with Zelda, for me, is that it won't have the same freedom of styles that Mario Marker has. Zelda 1, LttP, and the Game Boy ones could all possibly work, but Zelda also has a lot of 3D games. I guess if you limited the styles to Original Zelda, LttP, Minish Cap, and Link's Awakening, that could work. That's four different styles for a dungeon maker, but I think a Metroid Maker is closer to Mario and would probably be easier to make.
@Jeriphro Mario Maker drew mostly from its 2D roots, so I take no issue with a 2D only Zelda Maker. However, they also translated Mario 3D World elements into the 2D space, so I wouldn't mind that they do something similar with overhead Zelda games using more modern 3D elements too. A Link to the Past Remake shows how nice 3D elements can be implemented into the standard overhead Zelda view.
2D Zeldas were the games I grew up on anyways, A Link to the Past being one of my favorite games of all times! They halfway attempted a creator within the Links Awakening remake, but I'd like to see a fully realized creator. Of course though, Super Metroid was also once of my favorite games of all times so I'm dying to see a Metroid maker too. ;)
I'd go either for Metroid Maker a Zelda Maker would also be great even a Mario Kart Maker as well.
Nintendo has announced that as of Jan. 12, 2021, the original Super Mario Maker game for the Wii U will not be available for purchase on the eShop.
I mean there is a sequel available. My guess is Nintendo will want you to move towards a more current version.
I feel the exact same way. The three best 2D Mario platformers of all time you get to endlessly make and play levels with new ways to manipulate and integrate elements adding to and from each title. BOSS.
Day1 love it the presentation is top notch all the menu's i love this game cant wait to try beat peoples creations....
We've all seen the kinds of incredible fan art that Miiverse gets sometimes.
Imagine all that creativity being focused on stage creations...
The mind shudders at the greatness in store.
Not a fan of user created content myself. 99 percent tends do be rubbish.
Is there a point where platforming levels become too difficult, then not fun though? I'm thinking Cloudberry Kingdom here where it's just ridiculously aggressive death. I prefer balanced stages that are fun and challenging.
