Gaming Super Mario Maker preorder now open!

[spotanjo3]

Look at it this way - once Super Mario Maker is released, they won't need to make anymore 2D SMB games as the fans will make them for them... So they can concentrate on SMG 3

It does make a sense to me but still.. Nintendo is lazy!

Tomorrow will be a Mario Maker stream by NintendoUK too right? I have to remember to check that out...

£30 then ehh... well, it's on the high end of what I wanted to pay, but in the bracket - day one for me then!

I even dig the very Mario Paint-ish setup of the game (a firm family favourite back in the day!), and having the likes of Kuribo's shoe in SMB1 and World, not to mention all those enemies redrawn. Trying to avoid any more videos etc now so as not to spoil it when it arrives . That Amiibo/T-shirt and the rest can feck off though!

To be fair, the game ships with 100 pre-made levels, which is more content than any 2D Mario game has ever had.

Are they full length levels though?
Mario Maker always looked to me like it could only make dinky levels, like the NSLU ones.

Yeah, that price doesn't make any sense since this is not a full game but more of 'Do It Yourself'. Splatoon was $60 (in Canada it was CND$70) too god damn Nintendo likes to overcharge people in US too.

In the US... Canada always gets the shit end of the stick when it comes to prices!

I want this really badly, but the steep price tag really turns me away from it... It's the same story for Splatoon as well, if its price was lowered, I'd be all over it.

EDIT: CORRECTION HOLY FUCK IT'S $75 BEFORE TAX FUCK THAT.

Doing the math, to purchase this game in Ontario, with a 13% HST (Harmonized sales tax, a combination of the GST of the province and a second government-issue tax), it'll set you back $84.74, thus making Ontario the most expensive place IN THE WORLD to buy the game off-the-shelf brand-new, assuming it's not sold in Brazil. In Alberta, by comparison, with only a 5% GST, it'll still set you back $78.74, making it the cheapest place in Canada to get it.
