I'm not disagreeing that they are against user made content per se, but there are plenty of examples where they've embraced user content, ever since http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Paint and even to the more recent Wario-Ware games where you can make your own mini-games.

even looking at the screnshots, they seem to have borrowed heavily from the Mario Paint interface, stream of icons on the top. No idea why they used a dog icon in the corner. IIRC that was the undo button in Mario Paint. http://e3.nintendo.com/_ui/images/games/wiiu/mario-maker/scr... Maybe it's a pun in Japanese?

perhaps the dog from duck hunt?

I wonder if you can put a spring thing that allows you to jump over the pole. This is kinda amazing, you can even update the graphics. I'm guessing 30 dollars and a download

I'm guessing no. I don't remember how,* but I managed to jump higher than the level pole once, but hit an invisible wall and slid down it anyway. *Game Genie? Emulated ROM?

You can get over the flagpole in world 1-1 and 3-3, but it involves at least 2 quirks in the game to do 1-1's.

I've never see Kaizo Mario World before. That's amazingly clever. It's easy to just, say, spam a screenful of koopas at you to make something hard. These levels, though are hard because they involve a complex interaction of Mario skills, with zero tolerance for getting it wrong. If you've played enough Mario, some of the sections are actually funny in the same way that comics are: I immediately see how difficult the…

Most SMW ROM hacks are built with the assumption that the user will use save states, which dramatically offsets the execution difficulty.

Are there any that are different take on SMW that aren't crazy difficult? Like, what are the best SMW ROM hacks that are the most well thought-out.

Ditto for Zelda, those two are my favorite games but I can only play the same game so much.

I bought a Wii U because I have a then-6 year old son and I wanted him to enjoy playing games with me that didn't involve shooting other people full of holes. My fondest memories of my childhood aren't playing Contra or Street Fighter, but games like Chip N' Dale and Duck Tales. The Wii U's game category has been much slower than others, but I feel like every single game Nintendo proper releases is pure gold, and the…

I'm actually more interested in the Wii U than either an Xbox One or PS4. I just don't want to have yet another console to worry about hooking up. So I'm waiting until I'm ready to retire my current Xbox 360 and PS3 (and with upcoming Dark Souls 2 DLC, that's going to be probably another half year at least). That said, I'm probably going to be forced to pick up a PS4 to play Bloodborne when it launches (supposedly a…

For those who are thinking about picking up a Wii U, Nintendo is selling refurbished consoles for $200. For all the reports I have read, they are basically brand new systems (in appearance). https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailCol...

I just got mine from UPS earlier today. I can confirm that it's indistinguishable from a new console. It may even be brand new. They are likely getting returned inventory from retailers since it hasn't been selling as well as hoped.

It also comes with a 3 year warranty and a free copy of Nintendo Land. If you get Mario Kart 8 before the end of July, you can get a free game with it. In total, it's about $250 for a console still early in its cycle and 3 good games. It's a great deal.

I am interested in consoles no more. Exclusivities are now rare and pc gaming looks so much better and you can enjoy ancient games and new ones all the same. I hate it when you have to buy again the game you played years ago just because the hardware is newer.
