Update: Appears to be real – Rumor: Super Mario Maker has a Tingle costume
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 18 Comments
Update (8/17): Bumped to the top. The original Miiverse post has been located, which would indicate that the costume is indeed featured in the game.
The image above has been making the rounds on social media today. If it’s a legitimate image (which is a big question at the moment), then it would confirm that Super Mario Maker has a Tingle outfit. Obviously there is no Tingle amiibo, so it would simply be an unlockable costume for 8-bit Mario.
It’s tough to say if the screenshot was taken from Super Mario Maker, or if it’s an edited image. What do you guys think?

Nintendo has updated its Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon website with more details about the game. It’s now known that the game takes up 1.8GB, which is roughly 14,400 blocks.
As previously mentioned, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon supports StreetPass and local wireless functionality. The former feature allows you to pass helper Pokemon to other players while the latter lets you rescue other people.
Here are a couple of very tiny clips from the website:

[Let’s Talk] Thoughts thus far about Super Mario Maker

Let’s Talk #19: Thoughts thus far about Super Mario Maker
Super Mario Maker is very close to launch. In just four weeks, it will finally release around the world.
Despite being just a month away, we’re still learning new things about the game. Earlier this week Nintendo revealed that players can create their own sound effects. We also received confirmation that Super Mario Maker will be compatible with over 50 amiibo. You have to wonder if there are any other surprises in store, even if they’re on the small side.
Based on everything we know about Super Mario Maker, how are you feeling about it at this point? Are you planning on picking it up on day one? Has your mindset at all changed since the initial reveal? Let us know in the comments below!
Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – August 2015
James Parry
I’m currently working through my backlog before we’re hit with 2 games per month for the rest of the year. Right now I am playing Spirit Tracks (such an underrated game) and after that probably Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box (Diabolical Box in the US).
That should occupy me to the end of my holiday, which afterwards I’ll pick up Splatoon again and anticipate Nintendo’s September releases (Mario Maker, Happy Home Designer and many, many Amiibos). RIP my wallet!

Been so busy with work stuff, that I haven’t been playing much. Or at least nothing that requires too much commitment. Like, I’ve been playing a fair bit of Pokemon Shuffle, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Dragon Fantasy, and the occasional Smash Bros 3DS, mostly because they’re all easier for me to play in relatively short stints.
I’m also like halfway through Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (for the first time). I’m loving it too, but I feel like it requires longer play sessions, so I haven’t been playing it AS frequently as the others I mentioned.

Bought Child Of Light during its sale, so I’ll be playing that if I can get my wife away from it. Also plan on getting Wind Waker HD as a gift for my wife on her birthday. So I’ll start that, if I can get my wife away from it…
Splatoon staff talk about the Inkling design, more on the Squid Sisters, and other topics
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
In a recent issue of Famitsu, the magazine caught up with several of the developers behind Splatoon. The lineup included producer Hisashi Nogami, art director Seita Inoue, and designer Keisuke Nishimori. Toru Minegishi and Yuki Tsuji, who worked on the game’s sound, were also in the discussion.
We’ve been poking through Famitsu’s interview again, and came across a few more interesting excerpts. We now have those ready to share.
During the interview, Famitsu asks if things like the characters’ “heads tall” ratio were firmly decided when characters were still rabbits. The developers were basically asked about body proportions and how big the head was going to be compared to the body as a whole.
Inoue and Nogami replied:
Inoue: “That wasn’t changed to an extent. As this is an action game, if you don’t make the action easy to see to a certain degree, it feels out of touch, so it was decided to have big legs and hands.”
Nogami: “There was also a reason to have a low ‘heads tall’ ratio. You can tell when a character is covered in ink from an attack because the head is big. It isn’t so just to make them look cute.”
Another topic brought up during the interview was the design points of the Inkling boy and girl. Inoue mentioned that they wanted to make elements such as the eyes and tentacles easily visible, but the form and silhouette were given a great deal of attention.
