Topic: Super Mario Maker - OT

I think with the eShop you can just download it earlier.

I don't understand the pre-load thing a whole lot...if I can wait 2 weeks I can wait an extra 30 min - an hour.

Not everyone has the luxury of faster internet speeds. And it's not entirely for our benefit. Preloading makes it a lot easier on Nintendo's servers.

It's just for people who buy digitally, if I was buying this game digitally I might as well download it so it's almost ready to be played right at midnight on launch. Also some of us don't do the whole midnight launch thing at retail stores, so, yeah. xp

@brewsky Ah good point. That's makes a lot of sense.
@Megumi I plan on downloading it as well to avoid driving and gas costs. I was just unsure why people are so into the pre-download part of it. Now I know ^_^

I'm in town with Gamestop being 5 or 10 minutes away now, so...yeah. owo

I went to GameStop during their midnight release of Smash Bros for the 3DS. It was my first time doing that with a game and I found the experience annoying, as well as when a new wave of amiibos come out and everyone lines up at Target before the store opens.

I'd rather digitally download games (if I have space) and just order amiibos as imports.. even if I have to spend extra money it beats the stress and hassle of going to the store when something is in demand.

Well I don't do midnight releases anyways, so...I'm in no hurry.

Ha! That sounds hilarious. How exactly do they "discriminate" against Nintendo gamers exactly?

@Dezzy: My local GameStop has a long wall of PlayStation games, a shorter wall for Xbox games, and the Wii U and 3DS section is in a small corner behind a support, so you can't even see it, unless you walk behind it. But they have the Amiibos, and the Link and Ganon figurines in proud display.

I actually have several Mario levels designed already that I hope to re-create when Mario Maker comes out.

I've never had an awful experience at Gamestop. In fact, they seem enthusiastic to sell the Nintendo products, because they seem to be clawing for your money.

@Rexcalibr I actually did the same thing for the first time, and it'll probably be my last time doing it as well. Too many food and amusement park lines means I want to stay away from lines longer than ~6 people whenever I can. Was definitely cool to see a ton of people actually excited for a Nintendo game for once, though.

Well, got to try the demo out for this game...several problems.
1. World 1-1 Remix isn't much of a remix.
2. TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR CONTROLLERS GAMESTOP!!!
3. Couldn't really stand there and mess with the creator that much, screen was scratched up anyways.
4. Is it the 11th yet?

Sadly no

Out of interest what controller will everyone use when playing the levels?

Dunno, probably just the GamePad since I'll mostly be using the Create most of the time instead.

I'll play using the Wiimote most likely, as that's my controller of choice for NSMB.

I'll probably just use the Gamepad since I use Off-TV play a lot.

Gamepad since it's already in my hand. Else I'll use the Pro.

I'm probably late with this news, but whatever. ¯(ツ)/¯
