Hi guys. I have a Nintendo Online 12-month sub already. If I purchase the digital game + the Nintendo Online 12-month Sub package, does that stack on the 12-months I already have? I thought I heard that in the Direct, but would like clarification before I purchase that package.

Yes, it stacks. Was stated so in the video.

Another game not bought because of pay online.

Yes you heard correctly

that was fucking stupid, 90% of it was just switch online bullshit and they confirmed basically nothing that wasn't already theorized by gamexplain

So basically you're complaining because you spoiled all the reveals for yourself? Did you do the same thing for Endgame?

"But it's just an enhanced port" -Someone in this topic later.

Because it is. It doesn't bring anything new to the table except a couple of gimmicks and Nintendo just charges full price for it.

Another game Pirated because of pay online.

(fixed that for you kingvamp)

No and no. I just expected more from Nintendo. 90% of the direct was just talking about basics and online stuff.

"Adding a few new features and charging full price." Sounds like every sequel released in the last twenty years.

Realistically, Mario Maker was already a fairly complete game. It just didn't have an audience/player base of the size it deserved. True of so many Wii U games.

Looks cooooolll! Only thing I don't like is that for local multiplayer versus mode you still need to be connected to the internet for some reason :/

If all the information was already available in a previous official video it's completely understandable to be disappointed that in the next video they just talk about the things you've already seen in the previous video.

It wasn't an official video, though. It was a GameXplain video and they didn't cover absolutely everything.

 

[Garro]

To be honest, I remember watching the GameXplain video back then and I don't remember they ever mentioned anything about the story mode, new scenery, new music, new sfx, night time, dry shell powerup, night gimmicks, endless mode, mii profile, mii clothing, tags, co-op building, online multiplayer, versus and co-op, nearby play, online rank so I don't get why people act like there's nothing new from the first trailer.

Damn, we really need to pay to even just download maps? I understand having to pay for the online multiplayer, but not just getting maps.

No you only pay for online...take a chill pill

Story mode isn't new?
Multi-player, both co-op and versus, isn't new?
Two player creative mode isn't new?
All of the NEW items aren't new?
All of the NEW creative features aren't new?

I mean, does it literally have to be a completely different game for you lot to consider it new and not a port?

Apparently for him...for everybody else no lol. I consider it new and not a port.

 

[Paulsar99]

I love their presentation, seems like they added a lot of stuffs that were missing and people were asking on the first game. Definitely a day one buy for me and goodluck to probably hundreds and hundreds of hours of my life again. Lol!

 

[DSoryu]

There's always someone that will not be happy with anything, just ignore them.

Well, I never got the chance to get this for the WiiU in it's day, I only played the 3DS version and I felt that it was a bit downgraded, so I'll get this on launch day, is like my greatest dream as a kid: To make my own SMB levels and share them with my friends.

Only if its not CFW'd. If it is then you can dump your levels and share them online. Other than that its pretty much the same game.
