Okay, this time i actually watched the nintendo direct video and the woman was talking about super mario maker.
She said the game DOES have a online mode. You can use it to play 100 mario challenge as intended like wii u and to download courses made on wii u (Except some is not compatiable. My best guess is the NEW SUPER MARIO U courses seeing as that game specifically has a spin jump function the DS or 3DS new super mario never had, or the one featuring the Slender mario or mega mario or costumes from 1985 Mario bros since the 3DS says no costumes would also mean none of that stuff as well So maybe all elese is fair game) She also said any course made for 3DS is only for 3DS via street pass and local share not to upload online. So if anyone still didn't know, now you do.

100 mario challenge requires online mode to play and can download courses but not all of them (Reasons previously stated is just a guess)

My thoughts about level compatibility seem closer to performance issues. You've got your regular, nicely done levels, but then there are some where everything goes ballistic and shoved in your face all at once. This is supposedly being a title to play on an o3DS, so going from the Wii U's CPU to the o3DS's CPU, there's going to be some limitations. We've already seen on the Wii U how a combination of interactions can cause the game to run in slow-mo, and that was actually intentional by the level makers. Some levels that run fine on Wii U may not run fine on the o3DS. This is why I think they removed being able to search for codes, because you may end up getting more incompatible matches than not.

As for uploading, my initial thoughts were with regard to possible 3DS-specific stuff in the game and even just the surge of levels coming from a potential 60 million uploaders onto Nintendo servers, but someone on another forum pointed out how the 3DS still utilizes FC for online interaction, so now my thoughts detoured into that, as I can't recall an actual 3DS game that utilizes NNID, only apps like Miiverse and the eShop.

 

[I pwned U!]

I can't recall an actual 3DS game that utilizes NNID

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars

It features cross-platform level sharing, and requires a NNID for this feature.

You make a excellent point.

The thing i guess is that i dunno why on earth course makers do such things like enemy spam, and other such things. The good thing is people no longer need to earn stars or complain about deleted levels

But The thing i was worried about is the limited replay factor, the 100 mario challenge is the replay factor besides making levels. But not everyone likes making levels, and if you are without internet, you can't play any levels, besides the ones stuck in the system on wii u. Or make your own, which can be less fun. With 3DS is not a primary online console so to have rely on street pass is a good reason to have it set that way. Other wise you download levels to play later and fill up game with limited levels since you can't keep them all you download.

The only thing that excited me about this direct was Axiom Verge discount, and not only is that on the Wii U, but I already have it on PS4 and just want more people to see it.

Other than that... meh.

I AM SATISFIED

Was exactly my reaction.

But the Pikmin game kinda ruined it for me. Would have loved a Pikmin 3 port for New 3DS. I know some people don't like this port Wii U games to 3DS, but I do, and I think it is a great oportunity for people who don't have a Wii U to enjoy it, it's obvious that the Wii U is dead and Zelda BotW will be the last big Wii U game. I'll still look into the game and still like it (i hope), but not as much as the typical games.

Also I would have loved a new Advance Wars for 3DS.

Also it's kinda sad that they completely forgot Metroid. (I hope they did, I want a new 2D one )

 

[HomebrewJay]

Looks like there's no reason to own a Wii U now, lol.

 

[Wolfy]

Welp, I had a few GigaBytes left on my SD Card, time to fill it all :3

 

[breaktemp]

Hmm...very interested in trying out the new Streetpass update/games !!

Also, a little confused on the SMT-IV-Apocalypse pre-order bonus...so in-game metals or real life metals ?

 

[Bladexdsl]

so glad i sold my 3ds.
more shitty ammibs, no metroid, yet another fucking mario game

WORST ANNIVERSARY EVA!

 

[loler55]

Wow!
@loler55 can get his levels banned in yet another console!

very funny indeed ......

but thanks for the info
@sarkwalvein its a new hope for me
hacking a save on the 3ds is a lot of easyer

They could add in online sharing as an update a few months after its release if enough people ask for it.

and when its is finish.
lets inject my levels in the 3ds version.
or i copy side for side for side for side.

nintendo can spare the extra server withouth onlineupload for 3ds


yeahhhhh my colored yoshis i love this sh.

WoW i can hate the wiiuversion and can play and love it on my 3ds.
nice compromise for me.
i find it so nice that's not completely the same version.

but nintendo , today its not my birthday but thanks allot
lol


time to reach a new skilllevel like in my creation Buggy Doorjump

or this

not like this one

PSP is number 2 yet that game was released when the PSP was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay dead.

The 3ds was released with 10 or so games that are either milking franchises with stupid shitty excuse for stories, not to mention remakes, the 3ds/wiiu entire game library is just a bunch of remakes and milkies that make no sense, Nintendo is investing nothing btw, they don't buy game licences, devs buy licences to develop for the console, nintendo does literally nothing but takes the money and apply medicine to the butthurt area about the hacking scene for the 3ds/wiiu. Just because it has different name, better specs, doesn't mean it'll have more than 20% of original games.

U got a point... but they launch a new pokemon game a moment b4 they release a new console. Also ds and gba had games way after the next console came out. So what? Do u say there are many devs who release games to a dead console? It exsists, right, but most of them focus on te new console. More profitable...

Why no hype for ever oasis? Looks great

Proffesional game u mean...

 

[FanmadeEndings]

Super hyped for Mario Maker, but the no online thing sucks.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure someone on gbatemp will figure out how to extract levels from a save and import them to another (or something similar), wich could result into a thread where everyone could share their Super Mario Maker 3DS levels.

Am I the only one who thinks that the 3DS SMM port looks very bad in NSMBU "mode"? I think they should did a NSMB2 "mode" tbh...
