The Autumnal Doldrums are biting; Switch is going on nearly 5 months without any real system sellers and has another almost two months of barren wasteland ahead of it until Mario Maker 2 arrives to save the day.

New all time low for Xbox One unless I'm mistaken.

What do people see on Mario Maker? Can't get it.

A game maker that make platform mario that is the same thing for 300 years.

Life's easier for Nintendo. They will make millions releasing mario maker for the next 30 years until mario maker 19.

Can't judge tastes tho. Sorry. Blows my mind anyway.

It's not my cup of tea either, but people love Mario. As such, the chance for people to create their own challenges and stages in a world that they love is a desirable prospect. It's not that it's "easier" for Nintendo; they had to work hard to reach this point by carefully cultivating the IP and making sure its mainline entries were mostly of an impeccable caliber, to the extent that people now associate the IP with sheer joy.
