Nintendo has always had a way with compression, this is really small for what is essentially 4 Mario games in one.

That said, I can't wait for Mario Maker. It's gonna be so much fun :)

Can't wait to make a true sequel to SMW.

Not really. It's based off 3 old Mario games, and one new one (and that one didn't take up much space).

Don't forget you could basically hold the entire Super Mario 1, 3, and SNES World games for about the size of a 192kbps mp3.

The assets really aren't very expensive storage wise.

Of course the NSMBU takes up more, but overall 1.5 GB's for a collection of assets and a few levels shouldn't take up much storage. I'm kind of surprised it takes up that much.

Also when Nintendo games are a generation or two behind assets wise, and in 2D..not 3D, they really shouldn't take up much space.

They're masters of reusing assets, tiling, etc.

That doesn't mean the games don't look good for their cartoony nature, it just means they aren't trying to make a realistic 3D world and all the assets and storage that takes up.

Rayman Legends on the Wii U was almost 7 gigabytes to be fair, that's one 2D platformer that's about 4 times bigger than 4 2D platformers put together with a level editor as well.

No thank you. I am owning a hard copy of this bad boy.

This and Phantom Pain. Seems perfect to have them in the same month. Switch off from open world to 2-d side scrolling. It's a dream team. I can't wait.

Retail disc version for me as always.

Deathdeliverer3588d ago

Day one for me! Been following this game since it was first announced on the Nintendo channel. Get ready to downloaded the craziest levels of your lives! muahahahahah!

Metroid Maker Should Be Next to Get a Super Mario Maker Treatment

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.

I hope Nintendo brings back real dungeons in BOTW 2!

Metroid certainly would be cool, but 100% Zelda dungeon maker should be the priority! It makes the most sense!

Jeriphro1039d ago

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. ;)

Metroid Maker is a sweet idea

Knightofelemia1039d ago

I'd go either for Metroid Maker a Zelda Maker would also be great even a Mario Kart Maker as well.

I mean there is a sequel available. My guess is Nintendo will want you to move towards a more current version.
