The Mario experience of your dreams has arrived and is bursting with creativity…including yours! Play a near-limitless number of intensely creative Super Mario levels from players around the world. It’s easy enough to create your own levels with the Wii U GamePad controller that it may feel like you’re simply sketching out your ideas on paper, but you can now bring enemies and objects into a playable course in ways you could only dream of before. What was impossible in traditional Mario games is now impossibly fun, so let your imagination run wild! The ultimate evolution of Super Mario Bros. is here!

Maybe it's just me, but I'm a lot less excited for this game now that I realize it's a $60 game.

I think it could be really good depending on who picks it up and starts making stages, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it until it's had time to grow and certainly not at $60.

I'm just wondering how many flawed Kaizo levels are going to be made that can't actually be beaten.

Probably a lot, but none of them will be able to be shared. From what I understand the creator has to beat the level before they can upload it.

Gimme Metroid Maker, Nintendo.

My son has been raving about this game which prompted me to check it out. I haven't bought a new console in 10+ years, but this looks awesomely fun. My kid is almost assured to get this game when it comes out though, so next time I visit, I'll just play with his. Maybe that will be the push I need to buy something more current. But probably not.

I'd say don't get the WiiU. I have one, and while some games are fun I'm mainly disappointed with it.

I'd say don't get the WiiU. I have one, and while some games are fun I'm mainly disappointed with it.

And yet will probably end up with the most interesting games like almost all nintendo platforms. It's worth the investment especially if you are fond of any nintendo series and to avoid the meme, Splatoon is actually pretty damn fun for a shooter.

[Salodin]

It's a pretty damn repetitive shooter. I'm still salty I spent $100 on it between the game and amiibos. And interesting is subjective. Woolys world is interesting, but it's also boring as fuck after a short while. That's how most Nintendo games have been on the WiiU sans MK8 imo.

I'm saving my WIIU till the innevitable announce that Zelda has been shifted to NX

[Kaslo]

Wii U will be worth it for Xenoblade X and Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE

[Salodin]

Forget Zelda, just wait and see what they do to starfox. If it becomes nothing more than a director's cut of a N64 game then give up on the WiiU now.

Looks good, but fuck he was bad lol

Looks good, but fuck he was bad lol

My thoughts exactly. "No not that way you dumb fuck! You can't get through those blocks yet! No, you cant damage boost through all those piranha plants... god dammit go the other way!"

[Ratatapa]

Anyway game looks really fun and i kinda want it now, but

1) 69.99 (lolcanada) is pricey
2) I have 0 imagination to make levels, so i would only be able to play others levels which brings back to point 1 a bit
