What part of Super Mario Maker has you most excited?

So it's like little big planet but Mario?

It seems intriguing, but isn't it ultimately a Nintendo Little Big Planet?

The only downside is that they're probably putting an end to their own game series. Either that or setting the bar incredibly high for what people would need in order to buy future NSMB games.

I don't know if they're putting an end to their own series. From what I can see; Mario Maker still looks rather limited in terms of execution, and there is no ability to import your own assets of graphics, so creativity may come from a variety of layouts and intriguing level design, but next to none in terms of colour palette and theme. Having said that...Mario kind of always looks like Mario. Maybe they are self-destructing! Ahhhh!!!

Stage building. The majority of my time in LittleBigPlanet was in creation, I do have worries in playing other stages though. The majority of everything I've seen for this game so far have been levels where people just seem to chuck as much enemies and random stuff as possible or those kaizo type levels. I want to make and play levels that would actually see in a Mario game.

I'm pretty psyched for everything about this. It started as quite a lukewarm thing but they've really layered on the crazyness now and it actually looks like this will produce more interesting levels than in a standard retail mario game.

That's entirely up to them. People can only make stages that are possible to make within the toolbox nintendo gives them. They could easily make features in their own games that are not possible to replicate in super mario maker.

That's true. But at the same time, people could also invent cool new gameplay mechanics through Mario Maker than will become well-known among the fanbase which would then stop Nintendo doing something similar in the future, or risk the accusation of theft.

IDK what they could do, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo would have some legal safeguard if they did.

Chances are that the EULA for the game's online service state that every single user created map automatically becomes the intellectual property of Nintendo the second you're done making it.

That's what's normally done for any other title that relies on user created content as their online functionality.

The part where all the LPers cry because Nintendo won't let them do anything with the content they create.
