While speaking with Takashi Tezuka, NintendoWorldReport brought up the possibility of multiplayer in Mario Maker. The idea would be that one person edits Mario courses on the GamePad while another player jumps in and play with another controller.

This is something that Tezuka seems to be intrigued by. In response to the idea, he said, “Oh, that’s an interesting idea,” followed by laughter.

In an interview with Polygon, Little Orbit founder and CEO Matt Scott had positive things to say about Wii U – which the publisher is supporting quite a bit.

Scott mentioned that “Wii U is an interesting platform” and had high praise for the GamePad. At the same time, he noted that at launch, Nintendo “didn’t lock the demographic down” and the console’s name led to some confusion.

Ultimately, despite issues that may surround Wii U, Scott believes we shouldn’t underestimate Nintendo.

You can find all of Scott’s comments below.

– The residents of the World of Light and the Twilight Realm are unable to travel into each other’s world, but the two worlds have connected again with someone’s magic

Eldin Volcano

– Sparks fly constantly inside the cave of this active volcano
– With nowhere left to go, lava can erupt straight from the walls, interrupting anyone’s path with naturally produced sea of flames
– Mining have been regularly conducted in the back of the cave, in order to collect good quality ore

Enhancement Items:

– These can appear when you defeat an enemy, or they may appear if you break pots

Multiplayer

– One player plays on the GamePad

– This will allow players to control their characters on their own separate screens

Weak Point

– With strong enemies such as King Dodongo or Lizalfos, there may be opportunities to strike them back after the enemy uses specific attacks
– This opportunity is considered as the weak point
– A gauge will appear on the screen
– It’s possible for the gauge to reduce when you’re exposed to an attack, so feed the gauge for a “Weak Point Smash” before it runs out
– One of the weak point opportunities is when King Dodongo opens his mouth
– If you throw a bomb in there, there will be a huge explosion in his belly
– This will transition into a Weak Point opportunity after this occurs
– Strike repeatedly in order to increase the gauge for a “Weak Point Smash”
