I'm going to make the most phallic level imaginable, and the Miiverse moderators won't realize it until it's too late.

Mario Maker Rumor Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Well Nintendo's marketing materials must have been very un-Nintendolike then, because that's where the hand came from.
I'd imagine there's a good chance that will be included anyway. There's bound to be some demo levels (or even a full retro style game).
I can also see this being a retail release as well as eshop (hopefully budget priced). They'll want this on store shelves.

I hope you can choose the playstyle. I'd prefer SMW graphics and gameplay to SMB1
I'm going to be really dissapointed if there isn't some way of choosing which Mario engine you'd want to use. I'd rather make World romhacks than any of the NES ones.

Damn dude, stole my post from me before i could make it lol.

Guys I just realized, this is a big fake.
Reason?
Look at the other three columns, they are white and only show a character, probably that's what the front column actually looks like.
Mind blown.
Could you or somebody link me to these pics of the Mario-figurine?

yeah, good luck with that
I assume he meant the N series. As in these:
Not that it quite fits for me in that regard either.

Thanks! Looks like a Smash trophy imo.

If this is real, I'll be remaking all of Green Hill Zone first.

Are you being sarcastic?
Now that I looked more, there's a difference with the columns. The front one, which has the Mario Maker banner on it, has a grey panel on the top half of the column. The other three have this grey panel on the bottom half.
Also, the Mario Maker column is in the center of six demo stations(well technically 12, one on each side), while the other three are not. These demo stations also seem to have spots where a tv is to be mounted, and the color of the demo stations matches the color of the Wii U game cases. The Mario Maker banner shows a Wii U stylus. So it all falls in place.
I have been saying since we went past two of those NSMB titles that they it's like Nintendo is just employing rom hackers to make their new Mario sidescrollers, and that instead of releasing new ones they may as well just release one with a level editor and call it good. I am so glad this has come true, and I just hope the NES appearance is only one aspect of it and there are plenty of tile sets.

Nah, Mario is way angrier looking in Smash.
In fact, I don't think he ever once cracked a smile in Brawl outside of SSE (and even then it's rare).
I'm expecting Kaizo Mario remakes.

I expect this to be stuck in classic Mario style and budget. We can't have it make New Super Mario Bros obsolete, now.
But if allowed for customisation like Zelda Classic (while still being bound by Zelda 1 style limitations) I would not object.

these guys are never tired of Nintendo news.
I like them, I wish they did quick looks because they are fun to listen to

Three sequels later....

While I do prefer the weighty handling of the original SMB to Mario World* the games from 3 onward had more variety in stage design so I hope there's a mixture of assets from all the 2D games rather than the first game's simple tiles.
*I like NSMBU best of all.

Rather than make sequels that are worthy of those classic games? Sounds like something Nintendo would do.
I hope that, given that this is real (which I really think it is), they let the Wario Ware DIY team design it.
They really nailed the balance between complexity and usability in that one, it´s amazing what you could do with it - it´s bascially what I imagined a new Mario Paint to be. Even the interface is strongly reminiscent of it. I expected something very basic and simple and was really impressed with how flexible it was.
Flipnote Studio is another example of Nintendo doing concent creation apps right. Man, I love doing little animation in that, I wonder what happened to the 3DS version...
Mario Maker is likely to be something a lot simpler, I assume - the NES Mario games are perfect for simple drag-and-drop editing - but I secretly hope that it goes a bit deeper than that.

Try reading what I wrote, yes that's where the source image came from but it's been stretched vertically and looks terrible.
I've made this serial mistake of doubting Nintendo. Dual screens? Motion controls? GamePad? None of them excited me when announced but I found all of them immensely fun to actually play. I'm feeling myself unhyped about this possible game but as I have burned myself in the past by doubting Nintendo, I don't want to do it again because my feeling is that there must be something exciting about the possibilites of this game that I'm just not seeing. Can anyone explain what would make this awesome and what their hope is for this product? (Paging Neiteio, master of hype!)
It's Kirby in Smash.
That makes sense.
That should totally be what they're aiming for! Streetpass functionality so that you can share buildings/levels with people, take on a level with 4 or more friends, Wii U online play, it'd be great.
If this ends up being Nintendo's answer to LBP and Minecraft and finally provides them with a game for user created content then I see that as a disaster.... for my own gaming time. The only reason my son doesn't spend much time on the Wii U is because those other games are on the PS3. If that comes out, I'm going to lose my Wii U to him and his friends as well.

I still don't believe this rumor
damn it only became Friday 8 hours ago
Tuesday is so far away, I want to know everything need better photos
after so many years of E3 being held at the same place I can't believe some guys have not made it a point in just invading the setups and taking good quality photos
I am sure security is tight but it can't be the Oval Office

Research inconclusive.
So Cranky.
My line of thought as well. Going to be skeptical with this.
I agree that it's fake, but Mario level design would be a compelling game for many people, let alone the fact that you could PLAY other people's levels...

I, like many others in this thread, lack a natural creative drive. I have never had a great desire to use customization features or level editors. One of this things that made Wario Ware DIY so great is that it actually structured a single player experience around learning to use the tools. In some sense it was just a robust tutorial, but I greatly enjoyed how it presented you with baby steps so you never felt overwhelmed with the tool set. If simply given the tools, I would never have known where to start.
One of the early 'challenges' had you make pixel art for a Dragon Quest style monster. Instead of simply having you draw it, it had you first do the eyes, then the mouth, then the body, and then the game assembled it for you in an interesting way.
I have personally never spent any time with level editors (official or unofficial) but I have faith that Nintendo could make a fun piece of software based around this concept.
(I recognize that this might be fake but it is fun to speculate)

Couldn't be because they expect Smash to be majorly popular and thus taking up a large portion of their playable space (likely tied to the areas near those columns).
