Super Mario Maker 2 - REVIEW (Switch)

[@supermaiofroge]

One thing Nintendo could do is make a Disable Multiplayer option for levels. Not everyone would use it but It would go a long way in making sure levels not built for multiplayer don't end up in.

[@jaredcohen9552]

Matthew Rondello its the personality and charm. Smm1 was a lighthearted game and little quirks like that made it all the more interesting (whether it got more annoying or not). What he is saying is that without these little quirks at all, the game loses personality and feels more serious.

[@notkingboo9323]

@@NCozy Yeah, but they are still flaws with the game. It doesnt matter whether or not it was even possible to fix, its still a flaw.

"The real question is, can it re-capture the magic of the original game?“ Uhmm... No its not. Can it improve on it and offer something new, fun and exciting. THAT'S the question. Simply put: Andre should not have reviewed this game. I do agree with a view things (like Amiibo costumes) but I do not agree with most of it since it comes across as nitpicking and mostly personal and irrelevant. This is not a fair review of the game. Sorry guys. I really do love you but this one just didn't seem professional.

[@NotAFederalAgent-]

So talking about the lack of a proper multiplayer system and editing being a pain is nitpicking?

[@christophernixon2919]

Let's talk gamexplain. Nintendo added everything we asked for and more in to this game. They took away a few things that were charming at first in mm1 but then got old fast and that is really what you're basing your disappointment on? The only legitimate issues I see here are lack of costumes and possibly awkward controls for building since we don't have dual screens. And let's be honest here. They are going to make free patches for this and given the reactions from fans I'm willing to bet they will put them in later. I feel you guys got overhyped and then once Nintendo revealed everything to you in the direct it took away the "magic" of discovering it. This is a fantastic game that is going to get many gamers playing for hours.

[@LauravanBarneveld63]

This game should've been reviewed based on what this game is, not being compared to SMM1 for every single little thing. I'm glad Nintendo did things different. Besides, SMM1 wasn't that great at launch, it needed updates for features such as checkpoints and doors. Who knows what other amazing things SMM2 gets in the future? I felt this review was so incredibly biased and nitpicky. All the new players that never played SMM1 don't care if the title screen isn't the same as one, or the pipes aren't stackable. I'm sorry, I used to really enjoy your videos Gamexplain, but reviews like this just are a shame considering that a lot of new players might rethink buying this game because you held it to a certain standard that others don't share.

[@File_Select]

I’ve never played Super Mario Maker. I was thinking about buying this or Crash Racing but I think I’ll get Crash Racing instead. I’m glad that he criticized the game and didn’t just shower it with praise. As a sequel it should be held to the standards of the game before it. As a sequel it should move forwards and not backwards. It still looks fun though but I’ll buy it later down the line.

I get the criticism like mapping 2 different actions on the same button when the controller has enough buttons to compensate. On the other hand you talk one minute about the title screen and choose plenty of nitpicks. Granted, a lot of what you said are problems that really do exist (especially multiplayer online which seems to be a mess right now) but some of these nitpicks seem so small that they would not hit the game in the slightest. I really like that you share your experience, that is what I expect from a Review and you really show that you are an enthusiast but because of this it seems like you miss some points which really hurt your review. It's not wrong to mention problems, not at all. But this video seems to heavily target a core audience with a lot of playtime in SMM1 for the Wii U while leaving the newbies to the Super Mario Maker experience out of focus until the very end of the video.

[@ZeoLightning]

I have 2 major issues with this review first, being weird isnt exactly a good thing, sometimes it takes people out of the experience more than pull them in. and for one i think you should've made it clear that being weird is a preference not a design flaw. i along with many others prefer the more grounded traditional approach not having to worry about silly things that no one will remember past the first time they ever encounter it. not saying its good they are gone but rather, it actually doesnt impact the game at all especially its presentation, the presentation should be solely judged on the interface and music and the ease of creation and gameplay. My hot take. Quality is more charming than uniqueness and weird isnt exactly amazing for uniqueness. the second is the restricted examples you mentioned. they dont feel like restrictions. since when has mario had even clear conditions and trying to compile more than 1 feels like it could easily be abuse and become a chaotic mess. imagine having to Kill Specifically 8 goomba's and also collect 10 coins while not jumping or something. Keeping it to one clear condition creates more concise ability to mold better more focused and fun stages. Also why would you want multiple angry suns diving at you. that sounds super unfun. now maybe there isnt as much options in clear conditions as you'd hope and yeah i can get with that, but the large variety that we got should be more than enough for tons of creative stages.

[@SarajevoKyoto]

I'm actually imagining a "no jumping" level with a locked door at the end, and several goombas each guarding a red coin

You might not care about the presentation or charm, but Andre clearly does. He gave sufficient evidence for his claims, and you might find his criticisms minor or nitpicky, but his experience is entirely subjective.

[@RantKid]

That's the difference between someone who knows everything about it and a more casual player like you. Not really nitpicky to criticize usability issues if you're spending a lot of time making complex levels. Just because something doesn't apply to you doesn't make it nitpicking.

What I am really tired of is Nintendo making unnecessary inconveniences for multiplayer. We’re lucky we got to hear about only being able to play with random players online earlier. Now we are finding out all these other things. Sure they could be patched out, but why are they here in the first place? These are obvious issues and I have no idea why the developers keep making these decisions every time they touch multiplayer.

[@yourgoodfriend276]

How does a new style being a "vacuum" chip away at the original's freedom? You can completely ignore it and still do just as much as the original gameplay wise and much more aside from 1 easter egg powerup. It's objectively more content. on UI: "Lack of any quality of life improvements" That's because you guys hate the scroll wheel and quick access menus because they don't offer "experimentation". For people who don't need controversial opinions for clicks, that's a huge improvement. "No sample stages", you always start from a "blank slate" Not true, it has sample stages, you just can't easily pick which one to test. And I would hope that a game about creation starts with a blank slate most of the time. Imagine only being allowed to draw in half finished coloring books and thinking that's better for creative use than blank papers. You complained about having to download courses for local play. Local play is meant to be played offline. You cannot choose levels online without going online. Offline play needs offline levels. You took issue with some mostly non-consequential content missing and super subjective opinions about how this didn't "resonate" with you. Rather than simply brushing these off as an opinion, you said it wouldn't matter because not many played as much Mario Maker as you, making it seem like the more you being more experienced than new players is what makes your opinion valid, rather than simply treating it as subjective as it is. It comes off as... condescending, yeah. "Mario Maker 2 *might* be the better game, it just wasn't the better experience for me" -sums up this review pretty well as well as your take on the whole game these past few weeks. People look to these reviews to try and get some objective information highlighted to see if a game is worth buying or no, but this goal is hindered by how much time you take to talk about very subjective opinions. You are judging it is Mario Maker Part 2 rather than Mario Maker 2, and this would make sense in an editorial about the now series as a whole, but this is a review and you should judge the game and the game alone. For instance, for criticisms, the clunky build mechanics when docked, that is subjective, but based in logical argument that it is objectively slower to move and requires a lot ore input than a touch screen. If nobody played MM1, this would still work as a criticism of this game. Not being able to touch letters in the title screen. So? Can you really argue that you played SMM1 a lot if apparently you were spending a great deal of time looking at the title? If someone did not play MM1, this argument makes 0 sense. Overall, 7/10: great game, mediocre at best review

[@Vereid]

Your review of their review is better than their review. Seriously, agree with everything you said. Besides the true magic of this game will be when the community (people like Ceave, Super Expert Streamers, Kaizo levels etc) gets ahold of it. Great game from the tiny bit I played.

[@kaizo55]

You're right! But about the docked mode editing: I had the 3ds version, so it might be slower, but I'm looking forward to build levels on the big screen. Also, I like the item wheels better. I always thought that the item selection screen was chaos and it would be better to have a categorised screen. Yep, it's my opinion, everyone has a different opinion, you may like it or hate it. It looks fresh for me, even if they took out the easter eggs. The easter eggs were just minor things, no huge gameplay elements. And about the templates:if you ran out of ideas, just check Yamamura's dojo. No reason to get salty, fellow makers. Keep Calm, Love Mario!!

[@SarajevoKyoto]

I agree with this assessment, he really got bogged down a lot in nitpicks that all boiled down to, "I have to learn a slightly different system than I got used to in SMM1, so I hate it". The quirky start-up screen is cute, and I do kinda wish this game had that, but that's window-dressing compared to the massive amount of new content available for level creation, and Nintendo Life was able to get TV mode editing down pretty smoothly without grumping about it. I play mostly handheld, so I'm definitely looking for a stylus, but I'm just so excited for all the NEW stuff coming that I really don't care about these nitpicks that he keeps going on and on about.

[@woahblow4127]

He's right and the core players know it, I don't have time to read your entire rant, his points are valid though. No fill is a giant fucking problem No samples is a giant fucking problem. Also no game engine only has blank slates, that's ridiculous. Samples and snippets help you finish faster Bad online is a giant fucking problem. No 100 man is a giant fucking problem. The people who actually put long hours in this game are going to be pissed. Nintendo has never catered to those players though.

To all people wondering wether or not to buy this game, the little nit picks don't matter at all. If you want to play this game it will be completely fine. The creating process will be just fine.

The best part of MM1 is that many of the things added as DLC were things people were asking for, like checkpoints. yeah we got no slopes despite being heavily requestes but I guess they were struggling with them or outright saving it for this sequel. One of the things I see them addressing first is the filling ground thing.

[@megaman37456]

To be fair the Wii U was pretty much dead when MM1 launched, considering the state of the console and the popularity of the game 6 months of post-launch updates is amazing. However on the Switch, I'd be willing to bet Nintendo will be giving this game updates for at least 2 years.

[@AxolotlDreams-u-]

​@Walther Penne There weren't that many new additions but each one added a lot of value. The thing about mario maker is that one or two new additions is equal to thousands of completely unique levels and challenges.

[@konradberryhill8761]

If they had the new items in 3D world, then the retro styles would be used less. Also, unlike the retro styles, the 3D theme doesn’t just add physics to flat images, it adds in a whole new engine, and it looks great. If they just used images but were compatible, it wouldn’t look as good.

[@Namajaff]

the original Mario theme is (objectively) the ugliest and the most restrictive theme in the game, but people still make tons of levels with it. by far the dumbest thing in the new game is the 3D world theme, its just dumb. I'm sure that it's gonna be great tho

[@BigFearedBalloon]

Well the retro styles in Super Mario Maker also had pretty much the exact same things between them and they were all still used. I think the main problem here is effort where stuff from the Retro Styles should be possible.... and so should the new stuff from 3D World. Apart from anything related to the 3D Mechanics (Like Banzai Bill Cannons, Bowser etc.) Nearly every mechanic should be possible. For example, Beat Blocks. That is just the On/Off Switch. How hard would that be to add to the other 4 styles. Ants? They are Spike Tops that can be jumped on. Piranha Creepers? Similar to how you make the Snake Block. 2x2 Moving Block isn't that hard, Warp Block would be simple but amazing in other styles, ! Block would be different in use for Pixel Styles since you can't ground pound them. Crates are POW Blocks that Float, Bullies are just the Bouncy Tubes that just move, Skipsqueak is just a enemy that jumps when Mario Jump. etc. etc. I just feel like it's possible to include every element. Instead it's locked to a whole different theme, with how difficult I imagine it will be using it, and just feels like lack of polish happened there. All the 3D World style needed to be different were the 3D Mechanics, Cat Mario and how it looked. That's it. Nothing different from the 4 other styles. It just feels like it should be reasonably possible and they didn't go the full mile to do it alongside not adding all the old elements to the 3D World Style... just ends up being disappointing for no real good reason.

So it's going to really suck when we craft half a stage thinking we can introduce a new concept in the latter half only to find out we can't.

I mean, people are still complaining (and tbh, I think it's mostly well-founded, if overly rude), but at least in this case it's generally directed at the substance of the review, and not just the conclusion, like can be seen with negative reviews on so many other channels with a numerical verdict.

It’s great you can now dream up 3D World stages, it’s not so great that so many elements of what makes Mario Maker tick, just aren’t present there.

[@angelaprada9386]

SUPER MARIO WARRIORS lol

[@izasira]

Well, the review embargo just lifted so thats why.

[@FirlowXD]

yeah that's how embargoes work

[@supermariowarriors1879]

I posted this comment in all there channels😂

SUPER MARIO WARRIORS so crazy wow can’t believe it, it’s not like the embargo just lifted or anything.

[@slimtim1782]

Wow. Only a "Liked" huh? I'm surprised he griped so much about it but then again he had high expectations for this one because he loved the first one so much. I'm not sure why they are doing what they are doing with multiplayer. That would be one of my gripes too. You should be able to search levels and by name and type etc. You should be able to tag your level as multiplayer or not as one of the types of levels.

[@Jof-]

The worst thing is that there are Multiplayer Vs/Co-op tags already, Nintendo just doesn’t use them

[@hypnobagels8634]

Jo0f 932-2 Nintendo seriously needs to get up with the times. Not to say Smash is a better and, but they somehow did the social features of this game so right even though it’s such a minor part. Instead of putting in a Nintendo code, just let us search by name. Like they got search features right with one game, but not with another? Like c’mon man?

[@aKoolAidMan]

1. You CAN search by level type. 2. You CAN flag a level as multiplayer friendly. 3. Do you realize how impossible title searching would be. With the monumental amount of levels, getting the one you want would be insane. The only time it would work is when the title is EXTREMELY unique, for other levels, it doesn’t work. It would be a faulty feature.

[@captainmega6310]

@@aKoolAidMan you do have a point. Some what

[@yigoh8437]

I have a solution.... Make levels in handheld mode, then put the switch in the dock to test the level on the big screen! 😮

RIP Etika, we all love you and will all miss you

[@Fernando-ly6fj]

RIP Etika 😞

[@jjc4924]

I can't wait for this game to come out. I already pre order it & it'll be mail to my house once it's released. Also in the memory of Etika. Rest in peace my friend.

[@negative7proxy]

I pre-ordered my copy too, but selected pickup at store. I get 20% off new games at Best Buy and I don't have to pay for shipping.

[@tequilagarciarodriguez]

I'm just gonna list all my (admittedly minor) reservations with this game based on all the footage I've seen: 1. Why can't I stack enemies in the 3D World style, when that game was chock full of enemy towers? 2. I'm glad we're now able to place water in non-underwater levels, but why is that exclusive to the jungle theme? Why can't I remove the water completely? And furthermore, why can't I place any liquid in any level theme? It sounds like such a no-brainer feature that they randomly chose not to add. And yes, I know it would defy logic, but since when do Mario games ever apply real-world logic? 3. Why are Fire Bros. and Porcupuffers exclusive to 3D World when they've been in the series since Mario 3 and World respectively? 4. Why is red the only available alternate color for Yoshi? 5. Why are we still confined to just one exclusive power-up from each game? I would've loved to see the Frog Suit, Boomerang Flower, and Super Acorn make an appearance here. Hell, maybe they could've added the Ice Flower as a new power-up for all styles. 6. Why do we still not have the Koopalings?! 7. Why isn't the Night feature available in 3D World, when that game had day and night versions of the same level tropes. The fact that the ice levels aren't set at night in MM2 is very suspicious. 8. Adding onto #7, why can't I just use the night aesthetics instead of being forced to use the gimmicks?

[@duske_]

SMW didn't have Fire Bros.

[@tequilagarciarodriguez]

That game didn't have Chain Chomps or Hammer Bros. either, but that didn't stop the devs from making new sprites for them here.

[@duske_]

SMW did have Hammer Bros.

[@The_AGL_Group]

Honestly, the lack of amiibo costumes is a massive turnoff for me. At that point there’s pretty much no reason to use styles beyond NSMBU and SM3DW thanks to their more restrictive movesets.

[@JTread2003]

One thing I don't understand is why they didn't have motion control as an option when creating a level. The switch can clearly have a pointer like the Wii, and it would make it much easier. Otherwise, this game looks great and I really can't wait to get it!
