Nintendo tends to keep a low profile at the World Hobby Fair. That’s no different this year.

Two games will be playable during the four different Japanese events in January and February. New Super Mario Bros. U and Mario Chase from Nintendo Land will both be available at the Big N’s booth.

Years after the N64 kid video made a splash on YouTube, “unseen footage” from the original event has been uploaded online. You can see how Brandon Kuzma reacted after receiving GoldenEye.

Nintendo has never released a Mario title that allows players to fully create and share stages. It’s true that New Super Mario Bros. U – the latest entry in the side-scrolling series – allows for coin placement in Coin Battle mode, but the overall level of customization is very low – especially compared to other platformers.

Masataka Takemoto, director of Mario’s debut on Wii U, expressed openness in an interview with GamesTM when asked if he foresees a time when players can share and create their own stages. It’s something he feels could be a possibility, “but there’s no use just blindly making that feature available.”

Takemoto told the magazine:

“I think the Coin Edit feature in Coin Battle is a step closer to that. There is a possibility of this happening in the future, but there’s no use just blindly making that feature available. We would need to carefully think about how to make such a system work. The important thing is that it has to be something that is uniquely Nintendo. Where a beginner can easily make something and have a good time, and simultaneously, someone who is really into Mario can delve into it deeper and make something more complex. So that is a challenge we will need to tackle in the future.”

Thanks to joclo for the tip.

Yes, it’s true – along with the Wii U console itself, GamePads are region-locked. It’s possible to pair a controller from one country to a system purchased in another territory, but you won’t ever get the thing functioning. Everything comes to a halt once the GamePad attempts to perform an update.
