Takemoto on the possibility of creating and sharing Mario stages in the future

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

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.”

A look at the Wii U GamePad’s region-locking in action

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.
