Super Mario Maker 2 - OUT NOW! - GRcade Levels in OP

We'll, that's online MP done for me then.

That would be a baffling decision if it wasn't par for the course with Nintendo online.

Nintendo really don't 'get' online still

Bone-headed.

Game has gone from "don't miss" to "don't bother" for me so fast I almost have whiplash

Was never the strongest of features in enticing me personally but I can understand the frustration.

That said I did have my suspicions based on the original reveal in the Direct, the wording never seemed that confident that it wouldn't play like this.

Disappointing and baffling decision, but it was never a major selling point for me personally.

Shame as it effectively rules out multiplayer levels for AYAMMM though.

That's strawberry floating hilarious. I would love to have been in the meetings where they discussed, decided, and confirmed that decision.

Yikes hard pass

Nintendo are CANCELLED.

As ridiculous as it is, I'm not quite sure why what will amount to a lack of online multiplayer would make you stop wanting this game if you wanted it before.

It's a bit disappointing. But......I can't strawberry floating wait for this game still.

"Hey, this mobile app to party up is stupid. It actually makes the game worse"
"But this is how all online games work"
"That doesn't sound right"
"I'm afraid it is"
"Wait, but doesn't Smash let-"
"THE ONLY WAY"
"strawberry float it, rip it out"

Because... that... feature... is... why you wanted it? Is this a trick?

Imagine having a close-knit group of friends you buy games together with specifically to play together online. Madness.

Insanity.

We all know nerds posting on forums don't have real friends, pull the other one you guys.

I didn't even know there was an online mode until that direct, and I had the preorder in well before that. Personally, this doesn't bother me much.

Trying to see a reason as to why they'd want to keep it random and can't really justify one. It certainly does suck. Had so much potential for it too.

So, we need to talk about Mario Maker y'all

I'm just weirded out that it's pretty much the exact opposite what you'd expect from Nintendo.

Usually online would be friends only, but this time it's randoms only. It makes no sense.

It's *so* Nintendo.

Tbh I'm probs not gonna play much of multiplayer, but it is a crazy situation.

From my personal perspective, my biggest concern was (is) the controls for building levels and, having just watched this Nintendo Minute preview video about building, my fears have definitely not been alleviated.

I know I keep going on about it, but I fear the building process is going to be way more laboured than the Wii U version. Those "wheel select" menus just look slow and cumbersome compared to what went before. I'm assuming that, if you use the stylus, the buiding options work differently to these analog stick controls, but I haven't seen any evidence of this yet.

I want this to be brilliant, and the new features do look terrific, but... I'm concerned.

Its that this is such a unique game, it baffles me that that particular feature would be what drew anyone to want to play it.

Design your own Mario levels to share with anyone (including your Friends)? Nah Mate, not at all interested.

Be able to play those levels with Friends? I'm 100% in.

Doesn't make sense to me.
