Super Mario Maker is one of Nintendo’s biggest titles this year and their marketing push for the game reflects that, according to Nintendo UK product manager Remy van Leeuwen. Van Leeuwen told MCV that their “marketing push is on the same kind of level as [Mario Kart 8]. It’s really one of our big titles this year and it’s definitely in parity with Splatoon this year. “

Super Mario Maker was released in Japan today and it has already received its first update. Patch 1.01, for which you’ll need 201 MB of free space, comes with these changes:

• “Create a course” scene: a small element was added
• Condition(s) for increasing the amount of useable parts (in the level editor) were added
• Various changes meant to improve the gameplay experience

It seems likely that this patch will also be applied to European and US versions of the game once they release tomorrow.
