Mario Maker 2 Isn't The Only Platform Game Creator Coming To Switch In June

No thanks.
I will stick on Mario Maker 2.

Aah I feel bad for it as it looks really good.. But Mario maker will bury this.

I gotta say, I respect the sheer temerity of these devs to challenge a juggernaut like SMM2 with some indie level designer!

But yeah, this isn't going to end well.

Reminds me of that Poi game launching on Switch a few days before Super Mario Odyssey. What's up with these indie devs trying to challenge massive Mario releases? I know where the money is ALWAYS going to land.

There is also “Levelhead” coming from Butterscotch Shenanigans, the team behind Crashlands

IIRC, Levelhead has been in development for quite a while, well before we heard anything about Super Mario Maker 2

£17.99? Its £3.99 on Steam ffs.

Actually looks really good to me!
Not too pricey either.
Will put it on the wishlist so i can buy it in 2058 after I clear the backlog a bit.

They need to just shelve it for a year and then try selling it. At least then it may have a snowball's chance of selling on the Switch.

It’s the only one that matters though.

The reason Mario maker is such a phenomenal level creator game, is because the core gameplay is so immaculate. You look at Media Molecule’s games, and despite throwing the kitchen sink at the player the games have always been mediocre because the core gameplay has always been mediocre.

No level creator will even come within the earth’s atmosphere of Mario Maker. Not unless they someday release a DKC Maker.

So is it pronounced "PLAT-a-go" or "pla-TA-go" ?

Either way, that names' got-ta-go.

@JaxonH I don't see them releasing a DKC Maker ever, but a MK Maker would be nice. (I initially read your comment as MK Maker)

The track creator in ModNation Racers was pretty good, and that was 9 years ago in 2010. Nintendo should be able to work wonders in 2020. And since Switch already has a MK in 8D I'd even allow it w/o demanding it be part of MK9. Though Id' prefer it to be part of MK9 in a couple of years.

@bigcalsworld that's for the early access version only

@rjejr MK track maker would be pretty sweet!
I actually think Mario kart 8 is too flashy! Maybe I'm just getting old but I feel like it's made for hdhd kids

Too bad they decided to go for platformer instead of metroidvania. They are in direct competition with THE giant in the genre.

@Fake-E-Lee fantastic game. Been meaning to go back since last update but there's too much to play!!
Had to turn shakey-cam/bobbing off on the Switch one though as it made me sick heh.

@konbinilife "it's made for hdhd kids"

Well it is the 8th one, and it was on their first HD console Wii U, so they probably got carried away with all that power.

I think they needed the flashy flashy for the magnetic affect, b/c really otherwise you'd never know you were driving upside down, I never got that roller coaster feeling at all.

MK Maker is the next logical step though I think. SSB already has a level editor and SMM2 sort of added 3D. A Zelda Maker is never going to work, world is too big and open, not enough to actually make.

@rjejr A Dungeon maker might work. But people would need to be quite clever with any puzzle making for it. MM is just very accessible for anyone to build levels of at least a decent standard.

@KevTastic84 My two sons have been making an RPG in one of those VR VX VM Makers things for like 5 years on PC, so yeah, not the same. They also made a lot of levels in the LBP games but Dreams is too much for them. Track builders are easy peasy with some time spent on decorating.

Chicken Wiggle also has a level creator mode, but is scheduled right now for 2019 Q4.

Nice something for the alternatives is awesome, wil be getting this if I ever got tired of Super Mario Maker 2.

@Fake-E-Lee sorry to hear about your anxiety. There's definitely a reason it has done so well. I like the idea of multiplayer maps but online gaming stresses me out lol (nightmares from mmo days and people being way too serious!)

I completely understand the catch up game even when it comes to researching upcoming stuff. At the end of the day you gotta get your fun out of it.

Although you probably won't be playing much else for a while I will say Stardew,Treasure Tracker and Yoshi are pretty chill as well if you haven't played.
Toad TT was a nice break for me personally.
Although not great deal of replay admittedly.

Ballsy, but why release so close to Mario Maker 2? Coattails to ride? It'll just get lost in the void and forgottenn.

Seems like good timing actually. Maybe not for Switch, but this game is multi platform. Not every platform will be getting Mario Maker, and this May sell decently on other platforms for those with Mario envy.

(Insert joke about playing with friends online here lul)

@Anti-Matter "No thanks.
I will stick on Mario Maker 2."

Couldn't agree more unless it's cheap and physical. I'll consider it then.

When we started there was no MM2 planned for switch, and then there were lot check delays. So there goes my food for the rest of the year.
Steam is still early access, but will be leaving at the same time as this is released at which point the prices will be comparable.
Platago is different to MM2 in a number of areas but will probably need to wait for both to come out for an exact comparison.

¿Porque no los dos?
