Marketed right, this could be a HUGE hit for Nintendo. It's like Little Big Planet, but with the benefit of a more powerful license, and Nintendo's simplistic (albeit less ambitious) style.

That's not a knock on Little Big Planet, but simplicity is often needed to make games like that casual hits.

Ya I think this is a nice shake up from the NSMB series which doesn't really feel "new" anymore. NSMBU was still a great game but with 4, 2D Mario titles that are very similar releasing in a span of 6 years, Nintendo needs to take a break from it until they find a way to make 2D Mario feel like a big event again.

Mario Maker has alot of potential and I hope they incorporate it into future 2D Mario titles, instead of keeping it a standalone series. Let's say New Super Mario Bros 3 releases in 2017 for Nintendo's next-gen devices, I hope Mario Maker is a mode that's included in the game instead of making them 2 different series.

It would be totally awesome if then Nintendo takes the ideas created by fans - which will no doubt amaze - and allow the fans to sort of "help create the next 2D Mario".  It would be akin to the fan submissions for the bosses of the original Mega Man games.
