I was thinking about the game and I just realized I don't know: can you play online multiplayer?

 

[Wayoshi]

Guys, I just got day 2's stuff delivered without changing the clock.

Got a notice a while ago about a delivery soon, now about 10 minutes later it arrived. "That was sooner than expected!" it said.

Let us know if it continues

I'd be willing to put up with 15 minutes per package of stuff without restarting

 

[PSqueak]

So they were right then! I'm glad they changed it.

Aw shit! good news!

 

[Big Brett]

Cool English stream I've been watching. He's exploring a lot of features.

So, how, exactly, do you use amiibo with this game? When do you scan them to register the costume?

I'd like to scan mine before doing my first 100 Mario Challenge, just to avoid unlocking someone I have the amiibo of already.

The editor had a prompt pop up really early on (as in with the Day 1 stuff) mentioning amiibo integration so I just scanned mine immediately following that there and then, so yeah you can get the scanning out the way pretty quickly.

 

[maxcriden]

Great OT!

Can this be played with just the gamepad? Or do you need the screen, too?

I think you can play it with just the GamePad, yes. I believe the TV screen shows the level as it's being edited or played.

I will echo the people saying "give a star to a level you like".

Also my guess with the Amiibo level is almost accurate, it is the 2nd highest ranked level.
Curious if playing his level gives me 100 skins unlocked by default?

I don't think so. It will let you play the level, and even download and edit it, but not have access to additional tools, I don't think.

How many user created good levels can I expect right away? Should I wait a bit to see how many good levels will be available?

It all depends on the community. I expect once you get through the included levels there will be plenty of great levels available.

I could be wrong but was under the impression that the media release server was (or is going to be) scrapped/reset at release. So all of that will be gone and have to be rebuilt/reuploaded....?

Yes, that's correct.

I was thinking about the game and I just realized I don't know: can you play online multiplayer?

Nope.

 

[Sölf]

Subscribed. Will get it tomorrow at around 3:00 PM, together with Etrian Mystery Dungeon. No idea what I will play first though.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Super excited for tonight! Great op!

 

[serenewarfare]

Did we confirm if system clock shenanigans work for unlocking all the content?

They changed it. Stuff unlocks every few hours now.

 

[Sephzilla]

They changed it. Stuff unlocks every few hours now.

glorious!

 

[Robin64]

A few minutes more editing, maybe 5, since the last delivery and this came up.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Good, you just seem to earn it from gameplay now.

Seems a lot more natural than doing the day by day junk.

 

[Teknoman]

I'm just gonna unlock stuff as it goes. Don't want to be overwhelmed with choice from the start.

Also I wish some of the creation themes were available as actual in stage music.

 

[AdanVC]

They changed it. Stuff unlocks every few hours now.

A few minutes more editing, maybe 5, since the last delivery and this came up.

There you go everyone mad about waiting 9 days to unlock everything. Megaton! Maybe tomorrow Nintendo will announce it since it's tomorrow when the game launches officially anyways. Great news!

 

[KeRaSh]

My Wii U bundle from Amazon.de was shipped today. Hopefully it arrives early tomorrow. Got the day off and want to dig in as soon as possible! Is the time skip not necessary anymore? Would be great.

 

[TheMoon]

I was thinking about the game and I just realized I don't know: can you play online multiplayer?

You shouldn't even have to ask that question, honestly.

 

[RadixNegative2]

I'm not big on Mario games but I remember levels having a timer. How does that work here? Can you set how much time a player has and can you fully disable the timer for the levels you make?

 

[wild wild rice]

Just got that e-mail that lets me know Best Buy has my game now but won't give it to me until tomorrow.

aaaggggggggggggghhhhhhh

 

[Teknoman]

I was thinking about the game and I just realized I don't know: can you play online multiplayer?

I don't think there is any multiplayer at all.

 

[Choomp]

Can't wait to play this game. Hopefully I get in the one of the coming days.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Just made my first level. C017-0000-0011-EF91 if you want to check it out.

I made sure there was no unavoidable damage by deliberately not picking up any power-up when I tested the level, but there are actually many to be found so overall it should be moderately challenging.

 

[Teknoman]

I'm not big on Mario games but I remember levels having a timer. How does that work here? Can you set how much time a player has and can you fully disable the timer for the levels you make?

You can edit but I don't think you can disable.

 

[PSqueak]

Havent seen people completely disable it as far as i remember, but you can adjust it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I want to play this game so much I am tempted to buy for my friend who has a Wii U so we can play it

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Just made my first level. C017-0000-0011-EF91 if you want to check it out.

I got an idea! Code Swap! I'll look at yours and you look at mine!

[Teknoman]

Can you view friend list levels?

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah all of these shipping woes are why I still try to buy retail when I can.

(okay $20 off Splatoon didn't hurt)

 

[maxcriden]

They changed it. Stuff unlocks every few hours now.

?! They did? Wow. That is awesome. Any idea what the timeframe is now?

 

[Robin64]

Can you view friend list levels?

Sadly, your friend list doesn't get imported into the "Followers" section of this game. Bit of an oversight that one. So you need to find them again within Mario Maker.

 

[andymcc]

They would've charged more for a hardcover version since it would make it more expensive to ship.

isn't the Japanese boxed version an even lower MSRP than the US one?

i don't buy this reasoning. it's NoA being the cheapest, shittiest version of Nintendo.

 

[Xenoboy]

Nintendo's agent in Scandinavia, Bergsala, is known for extortionate prices. Back when I worked in retail (up to 2012), I was told by the KAM that "you can charge more for Nintendo games because they are, well, Nintendo games". I haven't been in contact with the company for a few years now, so I don't know if this mindset is still deployed. But if so, it could be another reason as to why Super Mario Maker is so costly in Sweden.

Also, I was hoping for a parcel in the mailbox today, but there was unfortunately nothing but flyers.

The weird thing is that some Nintendo games are cheaper and others more expensive. Mario Kart and 3D World wasn't so expensive. On the other hand Mario Maker and Yoshi cost more.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I might just cancel my Amazon order and go digital at this rate. They haven't even began processing yet and it's less than 24 hours from when I usually get packages.

I wanted digital anyway, but the book and the 10$ off on Amazon made me go with them. But knowing I can get the book anyway, I might just suck it up and go digital and just ignore the 10 dollars.

Interview: Yosuke Oshino On The Origins And Evolution Of Super Mario Maker

From E3 2014 to where we are now in 2015, the content included in the game has increased rapidly. Was much of this planned from the beginning, or did it evolve naturally as development progressed?

Although it hadn't been fully decided, at E3 2014 we already had the idea that we wanted the Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World game styles in addition to Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. U. And also the idea users should be able to upload their courses to a server to share with people around the world. So there wasn't any big changes to the core ideas as development went on. However, we never stopped to look for additional ways of making the game more fun, so the smaller features, including enemies and objects, have increased beyond what we originally planned.

If you want the Amazon package by tomorrow, it might not be too late to contact customer service immediately, ask for release date delivery for *tomorrow*, and hopefully they can make it work. If anyone can help you out with that, it's Amazon.

Amazon will sometimes send my release date deliveries the night before. It all depends on how far the distribution center is from you.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Quick question:

How do I unlock the Amiibo costumes if I don't have the toys?

 

[Robin64]

Quick question:

Just beat 100 Marios mode, a lot.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Just beat 100 Marios mode, a lot.

Oh okay. Cool thanks. I just went the the first page of the thread and saw it.

 

[muteant]

having to wait till 9pm PST is killing me ... haven't been this hyped for a video game since super mario 3D world. the fact that i quit smoking recently isn't helping matters.

 

[OmegaFax]

Are there templates to help you get started with making a level? I know there are pre-loaded levels that can be played ... but can they be edited, too?

 

[steveovig]

Tomorrow, I ain't making jackshit, EVER! Just playing on-disc levels and finding levels here and online. Amazon is apparently preparing my shipment now.

 

[Smashman45]

There you go everyone mad about waiting 9 days to unlock everything. Megaton! Maybe tomorrow Nintendo will announce it since it's tomorrow when the game launches officially anyways. Great news!

Nice! I could get over the 9 day wait, but it's better they made it more natural.

Tomorrow will be fun times.

 

[cyba89]

A few minutes more editing, maybe 5, since the last delivery and this came up.

Glorious. Did not expect Ninty to change this at all, espacially not in time for release. Don't have to rely on time travel shenanigans and can unlock everything the regular way now.

Still waiting for amazon to dispatch :|

 

[UncleSporky]

Well...the question is, is this going to be slower than it would've been otherwise?

Old clock changing method, it was 45 minutes total. Now is it going to be 8 hours or something? I still want to get those later stage elements as fast as I can.

 

[Kouriozan]

I guess. So far I've done 10 Mario mode once, 100 Mario mode once, and now I've just about finished my first basic level and boom, items.

Neat.
I made and uploaded 2 courses so far, 3x 10 Mario challenge and 2x 100 Mario one and nothing so far
I probably have 4 hours of playtime already.

 

[protomouse]

First (crude) level: Super Fibonacci Bros.

You didn't load up before the patch went live, did you?

 

[Ferrio]

So what time does stuff usually show up on the eShop?

 

[eltercero]

So, I received mine yesterday. This game is amazing, I'm enjoying it a lot.

I made a couple of levels. First one was horrible, but I'm not even embarrased to show you guys the second one: ED5E-0000-0011-FAC9

 

[Robin64]

So what time does stuff usually show up on the eShop?

Retail releases are midnight.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Just got confirmation that my copy will be ready for pickup from Best Buy tomorrow. I can head over there after work (with a new amiibo or two if I'm lucky).
