If you want to purchase creative Super Mario Maker digitally then you will be pleased to know that it is now available for pre-load on the Wii U eShop in the United States. For those of you not in the know, pre-load means you will be able to play the game on September 11th at 12 PM ET at the dot. The only issue is that you won’t get any pre-order incentives like the one at GameStop.
Thanks, MasterPikachu6 and Paidenthusiast
This game should cost like fucking 49.99.
Isn’t it $50 or is it $60?
It’s $60 and well worth every penny if you ask me
I’ll bet. But no co-op off or online? What a shame. Mario is always best for offline co-op fun but not in this particular game? Also, they forgot to add the “All-Star” SNES graphics mode for for American Super Mario Bros. 2 & 3. Lastly, I do hope 3DS might get their hands on this game too in the future.
This would be great on 3DS. it already has a touch screen, they could make the 2D games have that storybook effect 3D which would look cool imo, and just the portable aspect of it would make me purchase it for 3ds over Wii u
I take it back. I wouldn’t spend $40-60 just for half a game to unlock itself after 9 BS days of wait and unlock the other half with $650 worth of Amiibos for only 50 fucking pieces. Fuck that shit.
You’ve played it?
Games always cost more on the EShop than in retail, for some bizarre reason. So I would assume that it would be cheaper in store.
I think that’s still too high, this to me should not cost anymore than $30.
I’m not saying this is a bad game, but do people think about the cost behind making something like this? Do people seriously think Nintendo spent a bunch of money on this game? And even if it has a lot of content, its still just a 2D platformer in 2015.
I’d never pay this much for a 2D game anymore, no matter what it was or how much it offered. Like I said, this isn’t the 80’s, where this type of game actually took effort and a good amount of money to make.
Agreed. Thanks for contributing logic to the comment section.
DAMN! 60$ — full price??! I wasn’t going to buy this damn game anyways but wow…
(I was thinking more like 40$)
test
nice it took one new account to be able to talk again…
Pre-purchase is pointless imo.
Depends, a lot of demand can make downloading the game at lauch a pain in the ass, so pre-loading it means being able to play it from the moment it lauches, not depending on your internet connection and Nintendo’s servers.
I will say this about the 9 Day unlock thing. I don’t mind having to unlock the better tools as time goes on, I just wish it was unlocked through a mission structure. As on, complete certain missions, to get certain pieces.
What nine day unlock thing? I’ve never heard of this.

Yes, it was in the video here http://mynintendonews.com/2015/08/12/new-super-mario-maker-overview-video/
Ah, I have been busy and haven’t watched it yet.
You mean how we used to unlock things before Nintendo started this weird shit? Lol. Yeah.
At least it’s only a week and a half for those who are going to cash-out at $60. And it makes more sense than Splatoon where it felt like they were just completing the game instead of pacing the user.
This is how I felt about Splatoon. I never said they had to have everything unlocked at once, but when you can’t even unlock at your own pace, that’s when this kind of stuff gets to me.
Nice!
Reblogged this on Mon site officiel / My official website.
that’s pricey
Considering the enormous amount of content you get, I don’t think it is
I respectfully disagree…but then, it will come down to sales…if they sell a shit ton at $60, then I guess they priced it well.
For me, $60 is way too much for another platforming Mario.
Yeah. No fucking way an I paying $60…and since it’s Mario…it will be at least 6 months before it’s first sale. Oh well.
Like I just said, why would anyone expect anything less out of such a cheap game? I’m not saying the game itself, as in the gameplay and the experience it offers is cheap, I’m saying the game overall as far a production goes is very cheap to make today. Hell, there are even free games today that have the same type of gameplay 2D Mario games have. To me this is more of you paying for a brand name, than actually paying for the overall quality of the title.
I don’t think it’s worth $60 having an idea about how much Nintendo is really spending on this, which realistically can’t be much to warrant a $60 price tag, but to each their own.
I also do not think any 2D Mario game is worth $60 anymore, when there are games that offer way more in terms of production value that cost the same price as a 2D Mario game.
If I did not think Splatoon was worth $60 when I bought it, no way I could honestly let myself think this is worth $60. And I know Splatoon actually took a lot more money to make than this ever will, even with the future content Mario Maker will have.
With a company as big a Nintendo, there is no reason why such a game like this should not offer a lot of content. In this case though, I don’t think the amount of content a 2D game has justifies a $60 price in this day and age.
$59.99 is a bit much don’t you think? I’ll wait until it’s at least 20-30
20-30$ is way to cheap, this is a fully fledged game, not some crappy low budget title.
It’s funny how people are complaining about the Wii U having not enough games but are not willing to pay the average price for a new game – even if it offers almost infinite content. :P
With the type of game it is by today’s standards, it offering unlimited content should be expected in my opinion.
This isn’t some huge budget title we’re talking about. It’s 2D Mario.
$60 for this versus, say, Fallout 4? I’d take Fallout any day of the week. This isnt worth anywhere near $60 from what I’ve seen
Yeah. Silly us. Not wanting another fucking Mario Platformer. Because that really adds to the variety of games on WiiU.
Weak argument. Save it if people complain about Devil’s Third price.
$60 for more of the same is not cool.
I’m not denying it can’t be a full fledged game, but in reality it is very low budget. The cost it took for Nintendo to make this must’ve been very cheap, and the cost it will take them to add stuff to it will be next to nothing.
I’m personally amazed seeing so many people be okay with this pricing. Maybe back in the 80’s I could understand it costing this much, but today, no thanks.
It would probably get a low price tag on ebay if its used… but probably around 40$ and it would come without the case.
I can get Splatoon used for about $40. Tempting… But I’m still waiting.
I’ll probably want this digitally since it’s my last 2D Mario platformer, so I’ll have to wait a while for an eShop sale. Probably Next year.
No thanks, physical copy for me.
Yeah, I never buy digital games unless they’re exclusively digital. I like looking at my game collection on my shelf. Plus it’s a lot cheaper to find on eBay or Amazon then the solid priced digital.
maybe its just me, but I have yet to see anything that makes this look like a $60 release. It looks more like a budget priced digital title more than anything else
