NL: It was a bold move from Nintendo to launch the GameCube in 2001 without a Mario game. The tables were turned so that Mario's link to the launch was through new series Luigi's Mansion, putting the green half of the Mario Bros. in his first starring role. Super Mario Sunshine arrived the following year in 2002, six years after Super Mario 64 showed the world how 3D platformers should be done. No pressure then. Gamers eagerly waited to see what Shigeru Miyamoto had cooked up for this long awaited follow-up in the Mario series.

The Mario games have always been big business for Nintendo, especially the pure, side-scrolling games, which always end up being a solid bankable win. It's clear the Big N is well aware of that fact, as Super Mario Maker appears primed and ready to capitalize on that love of the franchise and its mechanics, all while giving players the opportunity to make their own levels.

Geeks With Wives: "Its not uncommon for there to be a game or a series that youve heard phenomenal things about but never experienced. From time to time, Ive told younger gamers that they need to experience games like Super Mario Bros 3 and Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Its important for people to see what makes a great game exactly that great."

Once again, Nintendo has started to spit out Copyright strikes and claims against "Let´s players" on Youtube. And this time the luck has come to "Super Mario Maker" and Let´s players such as "ProJared." So this is my (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) take on this matter. I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) also added a guide that might help Gamers how still want´s to make Nintendo let´s play videos on Youtube (without risking to get a copyright claim/strike by Nintendo).

Daniel Kurland, GIZORAMA - "Nintendo doesnt have the best track record with turning its games into movies. This isnt news. Its why you havent seen any of Nintendos beyond successful properties crowding your multiplexes in a time where anything that hits is milked to its limit. Between utterly insulting cinematic oddities like the misguided Super Mario Bros., the heartless Double Dragon, or the utterly unnecessary Wing Commander, its not hard to imagine pitch meetings being filled with Koopa Kids masquerading as executives in lieu of some of these poor choices.
