Super Mario Maker 3DS Proves Nintendo's Recent Laziness

Super Mario Maker for 3DS is yet another example of Nintendo's laziness. Is there still hope for the future of great 3DS exclusives?

I agree. I think the 3ds as a platform is really healthy. The ports are bad for the WiiU, but that's been floundering for quite some time.

[NXSwitch]

Another hate clickbait news. F'n 3ds is on fire & so much great games it has right now is unmatched! I'm still addictive to all MH, FE, & many more.

[Player3Podcast]

The WiiU has been abandoned for the most part, and it makes total sense. I don't mind these games being ported over.

[NXSwitch]

Same here. I have been buying on both systems & will continue to do so. The only thing I won't buy is Nes-Snes games on the VC as they have yet to complete the library with 3rd party ones & I'll only rebuy them if they remaster them in the 3ds 3d classic vc. But ya Zelda Wii U & the NX release one I'm buying both.

There's little justification for SMM on the 3DS to be missing such essential features when LBP on the similarly powered PSP had them.

On LBP Portable you could customize the look of your character as well as share and play levels uploaded online. On SMM 3D you can not do any of this.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

okay,,,,,,,

[LOL_WUT]

The Nintendo Network isn't even up to par to PSN when that was free ;)

[TheFirstClassic]

Downloading fan levels was a big part of the game on wii u, it really should have been in the handheld version.

[Segata]

LBP planet was not the first to do it. PSP was doing it with Mega Man Powered Up. Where LBP got the idea.

[PhoenixUp]

@ Segata

Who said LBP was the first platformer to have a level editor?

I said game like this on a handheld shouldn't be lacking such essential features.

[PlatinumGX]

This is why I will hold off on buying the NX, whatever it is. Nintendo has been extremely lazy and making a lot of unispired games or simply porting Wii U games to the 3DS.

The VC is still lacking big time. Also they simply decided to cut off Wii U support, which is understandable but they don't make up for it in any way.

[ccgr]

My kids still want it regardless....

[RosweeSon]

Because Hyrule Warriors didn't so the same thing as porting from a Wii U to 3ds?

[blawren4]

Hyrule warriors was full featured. This is lacking features that made the game great on Wii U. I think that's the issue here.

[Fist4achin]

Hard to see Nintendo this way. RIP Wiiu. Hopefully NX will be badass.

[blawren4]

For this game, I tend to agree. Not quite seeing the point of the decisions made. I don't believe that anyone outside of Japan really cares that much about streetpass. I could be wrong though. However, that is really the only way to share if you aren't near a wifi connection, but this needs online sharing features.

This game should have skipped the 3DS. But for 3DS only owners, perhaps it will have a niche that makes sense for them.

[Lazybones2020]

I'm excited to see what the company has in store for us with the NX.

[Segata]

I mean Sony has done the reverse by putting Vita games on PS4 that don't use the saves you had on Vita. If anything giving people who don't have a Wii U to enjoy the game. Many more people have a 3DS than a Wii U. They also announced a crap ton of new games for 3DS coming next year.

[3-4-5]

uhhh they are saving the good ideas for the NX.

worst troll ever.

[jaymacx]

Hopefully with NX we won't need a portable and console versions. If NX can get the support 3DS already gets along with some more western publishers, that would be great!
