Hopefully not. I hope its more of a thing like NES remix, and we get at least one "Big" AAA surprise reveal outside of Zelda U.

it would have to get to the existence stage first.
i think the only thing real about this photo is the placement of everything except the art, except for the stuff in the way back.
there's also the possibility this is real as a concept or even as a name, but i really don't believe this image is 100% accurate.
Iwata: so you developed a tool where players could literally drag and drop old art assets to create their own Mario levels.
Takeda: yes, and on the 3DS you will be able to view and play the levels in 3D.
Iwata: will glasses be included for using this feature?
Good point.
I tend to think (and hope) this is real, but knowing Nintendo there is likely some type of twist to the concept, and there may be some way of avoiding the concern you raise.

No way Jose. An 8-bit level editor will take center stage. I imagine Nintendo will show Zelda off first so it's not upstaged by Mario Maker.
If the game ends up being f2p/low priced with assets from other games locked behind NFC or DLC then they would just be making the money back that way.

Haha people worrying that it would eat into previous sales by people remaking the old levels - you're assuming they'd let you share your levels in the first place!
If pushmo is any indication, they probably would. Ditto warioware d.i.y.
It'd be funny if this were real, but instead of a level maker, it's actually a free runner Mario game and you place blocks and vines and shit to help Mario collect coins and power ups.
No level creator, just stack the 8 bit blocks to get the coins and every 100 coins the background changes to a different theme.

You make a good point, if fake who ever took the pic had to make to photoshop or had someone to do it, but why would a person who works there take the time to do that?
Still looks really fake to me.
The same reason people do any fake leak? The lulz.
Seriously though, I can't believe people are saying that an 8-bit level editor is going to by Nintendo's biggest game. If that is the case, then Nintendo is fucked.
Haha. Or dost thou play like one?

The Nintendo that made Wii Music would spend 90 minutes on this. Easily.
if it's real then someone's risking their job anyway.
If the image is true, why would Nintendo put up posters of their big up days before E3?
But a person who does building and stage set ups, just doesnt come off as a person who is gonna troll the internet lol, unless they been playing it for a year lol Apply for a job as a LA convention center person, get the job and plan a huge troll haha
I would do it!
And they apologized for it.
I'd definitely buy this if it had the option of using tilesets from the other classic 2D Marios (2,3,W), with all the variations that come with each game (can't go backwards in the original, use vegetables in 2, scrolling levels and new items in 3 and World) and the feature set were solid enough, at least allowing you to link levels together to make a game - there'd probably be a limit to stop people recreating, but eight levels would be good, four the absolute minimum. Oh, and it'd have to be on Wii U obviously, as I don't own a 3DS.

I hope it's going to be a romhack like the NES Remixes. If they're rebuilding the Mario engine, it's almost certain that they won't get the physics right. It really should support at least the 3 NES Marios. They've already done all the necessary work to support all three in the NES Remixes. It's just a matter of building the level editor.
I'm not even interested in making or playing custom SMB 1 levels, but SMB 2 would be fun.

My hype on this game depends on a lot of factors.
If Nintendo consider it as one of their Megaton and it just being a SMB level remix with NES assets... I'd be pissed. I'd be less pissed if it was a true editor with assets from All Stars or SMW with a lot of options. Would be even more pissed if its the 90 minutes round table 3ds game.
If Nintendo consider it as a 3 to 5 minutes eShop title and is a SMB level editor, I'd be pleased. And I'd be more hyped if it was a true editor with All Stars or SMW assets.

The good thing about it being sprite based is you should be able to make your own sprites.
So you can have super penis bros. in the penis kingdom.
You mean their life. This is Nintendo we're talking about.

You joke but deep down you know this could happen.
Never forget that this the same company that ended a PC with virtual fireworks

Hey, I don't think there's anything wrong with ending a PC with virtual fireworks. But just set the fuckers off, don't lead up to it with 'one more thing...'
They pulled DKCTF at the last minute and replaced it with the fireworks! Believe.

Obviously, but hey at least he's an internet hero for a week
...big eshop game. I could see a retail down the road, like with nes remix.
I don't see why.
Few games need as long as 90 minutes to discuss...a piece of creation software is more suited to that format than most core games. It's the sort of title where I'd want to hear/see how deep the editing goes...while with most core games I'd be fine with a 2 minute trailer and a detailed press release.

What happened?
Was referring to the post about it being the same hand used previously that's photoshopped in. Maybe Nintendo did that and that proves nothing. Don't know.

Oh yeah ignore that. They composite the same hand in a lot of promo art already.

I don't see why either. That'd why I'd be pissed if they wasted 90 minutes on it... granted it's not a fake, which to be fair isn't that hard to do. Here's my attempt with very limited skills and Photofiltre:
There's no reason someone couldn't do better than me and looks less fakish considering it's the first time the pic emerged.

The thing is your fake is based upon a real image, the real image which contains the mario maker leak. If that leak is fake where did the image come from? According to people who've been to e3 thats indeed the convention center where Nintendo generally has their booth. So where is the original this fake was photoshopped over? If not who risked their job to take a pic of the convention floor to then photo shop in a fake game? You'd only risk something like that if you saw what you realized was a megaton leak and wanted to risk for your internet efame.
Of course someone could find the original image and squash this
Because while its lame its most likely real

Of course mine looks fake, but what I'm saying, for someone with the good skills, to do it. It's even easier when the picture quality is crap with a lot of noise (which you can add yourself).
The worst being, IMO, the "Mario Maker" font, or at least the way it looks on this picture.
I don't believe that it's true but I can't think of any reason for it to not be legitimate based only in the picture. Maybe bad design for the banner.

It looks real, hell it SMELLS real, but mah man, I'm doubting it's real.
Just the fact that half of that Mario Maker poster is made of grounds bricks makes my doubts because it's horrible. :/
The bricks are where a monitor will go, most likely. I think this is very likely real.
