Back in June, the UK Super Mario Maker website stated that the game would come packed with 100 pre-made courses. This mention was soon removed from the official page.

The same Super Mario Maker site has been updated once again, and the blurb now mentions something slightly different. It says that the title “will feature dozens of sample courses that are directly playable, and can help to inspire players in creating their own.”

I suppose it’s still possible that Super Mario Maker contains 100 courses. The wording is unclear though – that’s for sure. There’s a chance that we won’t know of the final level count until around launch time.

Splatoon will be undergoing a bit of maintenance on Wednesday. That makes sense, given that the big update is scheduled to arrive on the same day.

Splatoon’s online functions will be down starting at 5:50 PM PT / 8:50 PM ET. Everything will return at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET. That’s probably when the update will launch!
