[@chukyuniqul]

@@zegreatpumpkinani9161 you should watch one of yahtzee's let's drown outs on his personal channel. It's one of the last episodes on drowning out dark souls where he and gabe talk about colleges for game design and, well, to paraphrase them:do not go into game design as a primary skill. Ever. So I hope you can code good or have skill as a concept artist, 3d modeler, music composer or writer. Because it's very unlikely you get a position in the industry if you wanna be a game designer (and yahtzee explained that even if you do get it, it's highly likely you will not be paid all that much). But yahtzee did concede that it's not a bad choice if you wanna go solo indie dev like he does (though I'm sure he'll still advise you to get an editor to keep you grounded if you wanna make an actually good game)

[@kidumby7599]

The funniest part of all this is there's still a thriving ROMhack community because the Mario Maker series's limitations prevent them occupying the niche entirely, and even WITH those limitations the community's also made fucking amazing levels in both games while still churning out fan-made stuff on the side.

[@SchadeTree]

For the longest time the only thing I knew about Mario Maker was from this video, so I never really gave it any thought. Recently though I stumbled onto the SMM youtube community and its genuinely incredible what people have made with this little creativity toy.

On the escapist video, he said that he looked online, and Luigi was the lowest priced Amiibo, so it is somewhat accurate.

[@fatjesus1584]

I have two Luigi amiibos, thank you very much. I find Luigi's idiosyncratic nature as a character brings him a strange depth. Luigi is the lanky, aloof, dejected brother of one of the most iconic characters in media and this fact is generally accepted and flaunted by his creators. He is fantastic and having a tiny version of him propelling himself at another smirking version of himself using what I can only assume is fart power brings me endless joy.

[@davidgraziano6235]

[@ryansample6016]

Nintendo *is* overly protective of their IP (which is a major flaw in today's gaming world), but Nintendo has been well known for making great games (pretty much their entire game collection is great) and innovation (their most notable example being the third person shooter _Splatoon_). It doesn't hurt that Nintendo have quite literally, to put it in Yahtzee's words, "raised a generation".

[@Nickmaster8811]

i wassnt even born then and yet i know this. Sega made their 2nsd console before the SNES and it said it had better graphics it was do the math and Sega does what Nintendon't (since is pronounced nin ten do [like do re mi fa fo sa])

[@littlefieryone2825]

Nintendo and Sega seem like opposite sides of the same coin to me. Sega tries to cater to the fans and try something new or at least gimicky, but often rushes their work without care or consideration. Nintendo releases solidly built games, but rarely experiments with formula, and often tries to push the trust of their fans as far as it will go without breaking. Nintendo irks me a little more. Maybe it's because I grew up playing more Genesis than NES, but I think it's more earnest to throw shit at the wall than letting the shit continuously grow in the hidden basement. What bothers me is that many Nintendo fans seem to willfully ignore Nintendo's dick moves and screw ups.

[@darthlobster]

Most of what Yahtzee said was true but that hasn't stopped me from having fun with Mario Maker, or designing good levels for it, or finding and playing good levels for it, so you know. I really enjoy this game and I think it was a pretty damn fine tribute for 30 years of Mario. A hell of a lot better than what they did for the 25th anniversary anyway.

[@RhysezPieces]

I think this all boils down to... do you want to create mario levels or not? As there are no "professional" levels to play first, this has to be the primary motivation. If there was already a proper game underneath then it wouldn't matter. Clearly Yahtzee doesn't want to. In fact probably the majority of gamers can't be arsed to do so. And frankly I don't think I would. But there are millions who this appeals to 100%.

[@zelg.5551]

Making people pay full price for a level editor after slamming a sledgehammer on original fan games and rom hacks smells of cynicism and unbridled greed.

[@japooter6192]

Interesting. I fully respect your opinion on this game, as for me I feel this was missing a few elements. First of all, there is a slight difference between the four games. You gain different power ups depending on which game style you choose and has some game elements deemed impossible in the other game styles, such as wall jumping in the new format. Could it have more variety with backgrounds and cosmetics? Sure, it could. However, I just haven't found a use for such a mixture yet. It is quite annoying when playing automatic levels, or rubberross' levels for another thing, but I actually find the level creation not to be a novelty but rather a quite enjoyable experience. Hell, so many levels I can't upload due to me not having enough stars, but yet I create loads of levels beforehand and so have fun from my own personal use. Is it the best game? No. But is it here for a purpose? Indeed. SMM is here to celebrate 30 years of Mario, which actually to me seems quite fitting. 8/10

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

[@BarHonigfeld]

Well, Mario Maker has a limited toolset and bad distribution methods, but now, over two years later, it is clear that there are a lot of very well made levels on there. Also, while many hard levels are trash, there are so many of them by now, that there is an abundance of good ones as well, and that is something Nintendo never delivered on and probably would never do so.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Actually there are some noticeable differences between the different mario styles. For one they all control exactly like their original games, mario 1 has that heavy momentum and nothing else, mario 3 is a bit more slippery and has the tanooki leaf, mario world has the cape feather spin jump and his momentum, and mario wee on you has the little spin that extends your jumps and the propeller suit.

Lots of people are getting on Yahtzee for what he got wrong. So I'll credit him with what he got right: user level design. Medium difficulty on the 100 Mario Challenge is the way to go as most levels are "look how many enemies I can throw in here are a hundred stars have fun!" or "look how many traps I set I'm so smart I'm the next Kaizo Maker." The game is a lot of fun, but there is certainly a lot of room for improvement. One thing he DIDN'T hit on which I hate is not being able to edit levels once I've uploaded them. Still, the game is fun and I enjoy it.

[@JonnyNitpick]

[@Mixa_Lv]

Limiting the amount of tools isn't always necessarily a bad thing, it forces you to be more creative if you wanted to craft complex thing. People are constantly inventing new gameplay rules and mechanics just by using the existing ones; it could be cool if Nintendo gave the full SDK for map creators, but in a way it's even more interesting to see what they can achieve with just the common map elements.

[@CamJackel]

Careful Nintendo might put this video down.

[@SuperStingray]

ROM hacks and mods will always be more versatile than in-game level editors, but they lack the same accessibility, publicity tools and often halfway decent documentation. Lunar Magic is great if you intend to make an opus and absolutely need to make fine, nitty-gritty changes, but Mario Maker is much more efficient if you don't know the first thing about level design, which is most people, or if you ARE experienced and just want to experiment much more quickly without jumping through the hoops of a mediocre interface.

My dad works at nintendo

+Adrian .C no-one give a shit about your personal life. We're not interested in the contents of your pants and we don't like you - although in your defense, we don't know you, so we haven't had the chance to like you. Either way, shut the fuck up

[@adrian.c6460]

***** yeah well my dad could beat your dad

[@SaintoftheHonest]

Adrian .C Is this the part where I'm supposed to start acting immature as well? Because I really don't give a shit about your petty animosity. Just like I don't care about your life. I will point out the statistical unlikelihood of your father having an optimal physique - given that you've said he works for Nintendo. Just as a side query, how old are you? Because the last time I heard the "my Dad could beat your Dad" line, I was six years old and arguing with a seven year old ginger kid.

[@wanderergoat7706]

+Xatu Nightcore Chill out man, he was probably joking.

[@SaintoftheHonest]

Wanderer Goat I am chill. In fact, this guy's immaturity has made me laugh for the first time in days

[@rvre]

This video is too acurate. So accurate that I needed to spell accurate wrong.

[@UltraPrimeHunter]

wow im usually on board with yahtzee's criticisms...but I think he really stretched it with this one.

[@SolarFlairIsBestPony]

What this game could have used is the ability to make your own interconnected 'land'. You know, make a whole Mario game of it with an overworld.

[@Jacko1962]

Nintendo = the most overrated company and the only video game company you are not allowed to criticize

[@IamaPERSON]

@@cherrinewilson7973 I can't tell if you're joking, or if you're serious about this

[@CrystalFlames]

to be fair, the 3D mario does allow wall jumping. someone pointed out to me that there aren't any slopes, though.

[@Johnnythat1dude]

Oh yeah Yahtzee everyone has the ability to make fucking bootlegs and hacks to Mario all the fuck they want. Of course they'll be able to make them to the standard quality of mario they desire, and of course they'll obviously spend less than sixty bucks making this stuff. The opening argument is bullshit and fucking lazy to rip into. Most bootlegs and hacks are considerably difficult to make and usually prove to be rather shotty and filled with bugs and stuff. At the very least with this game we pay 60 bucks and we can make our own level glitch free and with all of the materials and enemies we want once unlocked.

[@Angelus.DGeist]

A summery of this grabble. "Pfttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt" Your welcome.

[@Johnnythat1dude]

AcidDragonPuncher You forgot three ts mate. THREE ts! THEY REALLY EMPHASIZE THE POINT!

[@sig4311]

+Johnnythat1 Dude ruby coding the API is free the langage straight forward to the point that even a not so good at math 6 year old kid can actually have fun coding something with it. Once an engine is created you can iterate all the fuck you want with it given that you basically have what Mario Maker is . On the flip side this very product could have been stellar if the few points pointed out by Yahtzee were replaced by their most sensible counterparts. Therefore the criticism is not only desrved but should be taken in consideration for future updates ...

[@JustAndre92]

None of which comes even remotely close to justifying all the sudden takedowns of anything romhack-related. _Mario Maker_ serves its purpose and serves it fairly well, but flagrantly abusing a legal grey area for the sake of erasing other tools that serve other purposes better is utterly indefensible.

[@nicolaswarren3453]

I can never tell if this guy likes a game or not. He says everything with such heaping helpings of British sarcasm, that I can't tell if he genuinely enjoys something.
