Nintendo revealed a fuller, better trailer for Mario Maker. Personally, as a huge fan of the Mario Series, this excites me. Thoughts?

Oh shit, now I gotta buy a WiiU...
That looks awesome

A cool little toy to make some fun Mario stages for yourself and others in the vein of LittleBigPlanet stage making, but it's no system seller. If you're not truly into just working with one game for months or years to really get creative with it I think the app would run thin pretty quick.

Disagree with that, this is one of the coolest pieces of nintendo software Ive seen in a long long time.

I'll pick it up once it comes out.

I'm looking forward to it.

I just hope that it's as fully featured as it appears to be, that people will be able to string together a full set of levels for an entire game, that we'll be allowed to upload and download our creations (If it were anyone else, this would be all but assured, but Nintendo's online integration is still lacking at times), and that Nintendo will have a full fledged Mario platformer here of their own creation.

I can't wait to see people recreate Vs. Super Mario Bros. or being able to play a recreation of the original Super Mario Bros. in different graphical styles (We've seen SMB, SMB3, SMW, and NSMB skins so far).

I'm sure that later releases won't be able to really be reproduced here (Super Mario Land's vehicles for instance or anything beyond more basic levels from the NSMB franchise). But from what we've seen so far, near 1:1 recreations of the levels from the original pair of SMB releases should be achievable.

This is not a system seller. I would not pay for the entire Wii U system for this one game. Most people would say Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Zelda are system sellers. The game will do fine but I don't see that many people buying the system just for this game.

Regardless of whether or not this is a system seller, people can no longer claim that Nintendo is afraid to change up their Mario formula.

Mario Maker looks awesome.
