Hold onto your building caps, as Nintendo is ready to unveil all sorts of new info about Super Mario Maker 2! With a release of June 28th, there's not much time before the game releases, but there's sure to be some hidden surprises. You can tune into the Direct live, when it starts at 3 pm PT, or keep tuned to this thread, where we'll be rounding up all the juicy new details.
Live Coverage

"The basics"
You can place pipes, blocks, enemies, all that good stuff. Enemies can be made larger, hidden, and stacked. just like the first.
Nintendo Switch Online users can share their levels across the world.
The Angry Sun from SM3 was shown.
On and Off switches can be used to create puzzles and situational platforming.
A swinging claw can fling you using momentum
Water level can now have three different speeds.
You can have auto scroll levels.
Red homing Banzai Bills can follow you.
Big coins can be placed as prizes in levels.
Tons of wacky sound effects.
You can build together on the same screen by using two Joy-Cons on a single Switch.
Red fire breathing Yoshis.
Story mode has Mario helping to rebuild Princess Peach's castle by completing 100 new courses made by Nintendo, to show off course design.
New tracks by Koji Kondo.
Gimmicks from Super Mario 3D World will return, in 2D! Like flashing blocks, bouncing platforms, cat suit, clear pipes, and more!
There's even a Koopa Troopa car!
Online features

Course World is where NSO subscribers can share and browse courses online. You can search by tags, base game, and others. Players can leave comments for others.
Downloading courses lets you play them offline, at any time.
You can play co-op with up to four friends together, online!
Versus as well! Race to the finish and be the first to get to the goal post.
This multiplayer function can be played locally over multiple Switch systems as well.
You can get a 12 month NSO sub along with the game for 69.99.
If you already have a NSO online sub, you can get two games of your choice digitally for $99.99, a savings of $20. So if you wanna pre-order Super Mario Maker 2, you can buy it and another game to play at a discount while you wait for its release next month.
There will be a tournament at E3 for the game.

That's a wrap!

Man, Nintendo just wants all of my money, don't they?

And they just keep finding ways to get it.

C'mon, guys, I gotta have SOME money left to buy one of the Gen 8 Pokemon games.

maybe there is a way to build new lvls offline on cfw and share a dump with a friend with NSO, to publish it online under his account....mmmmh

edit: okok, this would instaban the user with NSO, since he needs to CFW very likely too. it was a crackpot idea, I admit. nvm

Looks great! I really hope that you can at least play other peoples levels or do multiplayer without NSO. I've got the dreams early access and as of now I know you can at least play other peoples levels and I think upload too.

Wow. First of all -- can't wait until June. Last year I went out to buy a switch to guarantee I would have one with the Tegra hardware vulnerability. But this has sat untouched and unopened for nearly a year now. Super Mario Maker 2 will finally be the game to pull me away from 3DS/PS4 to get into some Switch goodness.

Second, I was loving those new SMW themes. Having recently picked up ROM hacking in April I had been feeling accomplished since I was able to utilize sprite sheets to import the Super Mario Maker tilesets into my SMW Rom hack. Now I can't wait to do the same for these new SMW themes which to be honest look to be very bright and beautiful backgrounds.

If someone figures out if the games use their respectable physics then I will buy this one. Super Mario Maker was a big disappointment for me, changed it from NSB, to SMW and the physics stayed the same and still feels like New Super Mario Bros. Nope.

That'll almost definitely be the same in this version. The point of the game is that you can switch between themes without breaking level design.

Except for the new Super Mario 3D World theme... That isn't cross compatible so that will probably have different physics.

Yeah so if that ends up being confirmed then I'm not going to buy it again. I'm not into this "lets all follow one physics engine" crap

Geez, the switch is the whole reason my 3ds has just been collecting dust. Trust me, it's hard going back once you have been spoiled by higher resoulotions then below even standard definition -.-

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 does. You won't be charged for those next 12 months.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
