I think this is going to be the best game of the year. Note I am saying that regarding the same year a Fallout and a Just Cause are coming out.

[Yoshi]

It's so hard to compare. This is more of a framework than a game. Is there even built-in content to actually play?

[cigsthecat]

It has SMW and SMB3 sprites. All I needed to know.

[Joust Williams]

I'm pumped

[Joust Williams]

somehow they will flub this up something fierce though

[Opaque]

I don't remember, can we download community created maps, only something friends made, or are we on our own?

The difference between this maybe being the best 2D mario ever and a piece of shit is the availability of content made by people much more clever than I.

The E3 trailer and live footage show some of the interface, which definitely looks to include global online sharing. And the website confirms:

Play a near-limitless number of Mario levels created by Nintendo and players around the world.

Touch control, instant editing and a robust online ranking and search system makes creating, playing and sharing a seamless process.

I've been excited for Super Mario Maker for some time, glad others are starting to see what makes it special. If time and circumstance can permit, I definitely want to try to make a bunch of levels for fellow TNLers soon after the game's release.

It's a cool tool but I don't really get the excitement for this personally.

It's a cool tool but I don't really get the excitement for this personally.

Imagine the best mario level you ever played.

Now imagine 100s of levels better than those made by people around the world who are free to make levels exactly how they want and with clever new twists Nintendo hasn't thought of yet.

There will be loads of shit. Tons of it. But there will also be some fucking greatness. If they allow these to be rated and if you can browse them based on quality, this could possibly be the largest and longest AAA platformer ever.
