Mario fans are going to love a Mario level editor but people who don't already have a Wii U likely won't care. Second, Minecraft is so popular because of freedom. It's almost limitless. That's not the same thing as a Mario level editor at all. The comparison is barely applicable. It's going to sell pretty well but it's not going to grow the installed base or win over anyone who isn't already invested in the Nintendo ecosystem. |
mario maker is pretty much the next step for 2d mario since the new super mario bros upgrade over super mario world. That is why some think it will be huge.
I personally think it will be fantastic as a new series and will thrive on future platforms, but I won't delude myself in thinking that it will change the wii u's fate. Simply because it is limited in many ways where minecraft was not
