It was a VERY solid direct.Really happy about the stuff revealed and man, really happy about the story mode.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

The game seems packed with content, but my playtime with the first Mario Maker was fairly limited, how does the second one compared with the new stuffs?



Day one for me, it just looks great.



I mean, as if I wasn't sold on it already, they went and added a Story Mode and Multiplayer, and day/night themes...yeah day 1 for me.



Added a poll to rate the direct. I thought it was really great. A vast improvement over the original game, definitely deserving of the 2 in it's name. My favourite new feature has to be online multiplayer, that's a first in a 2D mario game.

Game Voucher deal is awesome:

The selection of eligible software will continue to grow over time

Future Eligible Titles
Super Mario Maker 2
Astral Chain
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

You get 5% back in gold coins as well. That takes it down to $47.50 digital for each game.

Nintendo is finally rewarding digital buyers properly for the lesser cost of distribution, packaging and manufacturing.

Hoperfully all future 1st party titles will be included here, if that's the case this is great news.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

The game looks awesome.

Nintendo Switch game Vouchers are eligible for the 5% Gold Coins reward. So basically, Nintendo is offering Switch Online members Nintendo games for $47.50 (even less if you list your Switch as being in a sales tax free county).

I'm not a fan of getting digital copies, but that's not half bad of a deal IMO.

Huh? Aren't you saving only $20 with two game vouchers, but you'll have to pay $20 for an online subscription to get the vouchers? Nintendo is just giving back the money that they stole, so that shouldn't be met with gratitude.

Got my subscription for free with the Amazon prime deal, which I also got for free, so I have very little to complain about xD

Not knowing if all future releases will be included is the only negative, however E3 should clear that.

Finally 49.99 games shouldnt be included here, theres no benefit, it even makes the process of buying them more complex

Thanks, I forgot that I should of probably included that in the OP by now.



The "extra styles" section had an empty slot, and it's "extra styles" with an "s". I think we're getting a reveal for that at E3. Honestly I have no idea what style it could be.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
