To join the multiple costumes available in Super Mario Maker, Famitsu has announced that their mascot, Nekki the Fox, will also be offered as an 8-bit costume. He will be free to download for all Mario Maker users in Japan. However, it’s still unclear whether he will be offered in any other countries at a later date. Alongside this news, it’ll also be interesting to see what other characters may be added to the game in the coming months.
Literally who?
It’s a mascot for a Japanese magazine. Duh. If you’re not Japanese you wouldn’t know.
I was just going to write that.
What does the fox say? MARIO MARIO MAKE-ER! MARIO MARIO MAKE-ER! FOX FOX FOX HAWOOOOOOO!!! But really why a fox, Nintendo didnt even create the character, and it wasnt made in 8 bit era.
It is probably just a colaboration between Famitsu and Nintendo. It isn’t as if 4 8-bit sprites (little Mario is composed out of 4 sprites) are hard to be done. And they have Fox McCloud, so the fox says “Aaaahhhhh!”, “Entering Corneria’s orbit!”, “Aircraft, report!” and many other lines.

I thought that picture was fan made at first.
Who is this guy
A mascot that only appeals to the Japanese audience. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s only exclusive to that region though.
How about HD Mario costumes?
It would be too much work for a little thing like this. But I would love if the 30th Anniversary amiibo mushroom becomes a Mega Mushroom in the other themes.
Did anyone else think that was Bubsy at first glance?
It’s a fox tho.
What could pawssively go wrong?
Puns. Oy!
guy’s
Thanks for the info Natalie!
Would love to play a level you have made!
confirmed for smash dlc
People asking who it is, read the freaking article
People don’t care enough to read an article. They are just expressing wonder at who this character is. It’s not exactly groundbreaking news that we care to read a whole article about.
But the way they find out is by reading a reply, w
either way, they have to read
I want a fox costume
Have these been confirmed only for the 8bit levels? or are they going to have 4 versions?
It looks like it’s just going to be the 8-bit version. :-)
Costume in SMB, raccoon leaf in SMB3, cape feather in SMW, and propeller mushroom for NSMBU
Now I just wait for Shantae and Shovel Knight. Please?
Shovel kngiht seems to be going in, he’s getting an amiibo, he already have a sprite-idea, And with this famitsu-fox, Free costume DLC seems likely, for me he’s confirmed with his amiibo.
Now, just go vote shantae in smash. ;)
Huh, I’ll be.
Famitsu also scores games right? If this doesn’t scream “special interest” I don’t know what does.
even the official playstation/Nintendo magizines will score games low, Famitsu doesn’t go, this game is well built, no bugs, 4/10 because I didn’t like this one thing, like some reviewers
No bugs doesn’t justify a near perfect score. Many indie games are “perfect” in that regard. It’s just another sidescroller mario game. It’s not like it’s something incredibly new and original.
So this explains the high score that they gave Mario maker.
why not andre from gamexplain?
(also, shovel knight comfirmed)
