E3 2014: Mario Maker is Real, And It's Spectacular

@krabboss: It's not 1-1 we need to be concerned about, it is all of the penis levels that will be created.

it kills me inside that they say "make your own mario courses" yes courses, they aren't called levels anymore

shameful

At a minimum, Nintendo should make a downloadable 3DS companion game called "Mario Player" that can play (duh!) Mario Maker levels. The more that Nintendo can do to integrate their handheld platform into the WiiU the better.

I'm seriously confused over any hype this is getting? It's like watching people bust an infinite number of nuts over Mario Paint.

honestly i am expecting much so guys give us ur best shot

Spectacular? It's a goddamn block based Mario level creator? Why is this a thing?

Well, at least that homage to Mario Paint was good.

I was really hoping for something that let you combine elements from Mario 1-3 and World. This seems kind of uninteresting and underwhelming- there is so much more they can do. I want to be Tanooki Mario and throw a turnip at a chargin' chuck while avoiding a poison mushroom.

man... all the jaded negatively in these comments makes me sad. i'm 30, have played video games for more than 20 years, and this idea sounds great to me. what we saw is a trailer based on a version of the game almost a year before the final version will be released. people complaining about the inherant limits need to chill and wait to see what the final product looks like. you might not be able to setup your own overworld map (that would be incredible), but there are some really creative people out there that will make some great levels. i for one will absolutely make some attempts of my own.

You should actually play some Mario games, they've been called courses for a long time.

Get this successful and then bring on the Warioware DIY update

Looks like a lot of fun. Some of you are crazy.

Oh shit! (that's the best I can do. I apologize for my poor commenting skills, but oh shit!)

"Well, we have no idea what to do, and while you people keep buying vaguely tweaked retreads every year, we knew it couldn't go on like this forever. So, here, you guys can make the retreads now."

What they had at E3 was still an early build.
