Head past the break for some of Reggie’s remarks. You can read the full interview on TIME here.

Immediately upon playing the first level of Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, I was reminded about how much I loved Renegade Kid’s original 2D platformer. When it released in 2012, it was one of the first great 3DS eShop titles. Super Challenge feels largely like a continuation of the first game’s later levels. It’s telling that it hasn’t been named Mutant Mudds 2 since there isn’t too much new here, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Bandai Namco shared a first play video for the Japanese 3DS game Assassination Classroom: Assassin Training Plan. Watch it below.
Nintendo is teaming up with the San Francisco Public Library to teach kids the basics of video game level design with Super Mario Maker. An event will be hosted later this month at The Mix, a creative space at the Main Library. Kids and teens will be able to create, learn, engage and share using all sorts of different tools. This comes as a nationwide push for more computer science education and digital learning for children.
Here’s an overview of the event:
“During the Super Mario Maker event, kids and their parents will have the opportunity to attend special workshops hosted by Nintendo game experts that will introduce them to video game level design using the Super Mario Maker game. Kids will be split into groups and given hands-on time with the game and shown the ins and outs of game level design. The kids will be encouraged to work together to design their own courses in the game – the more creative, the better! The courses will then be available to play by anyone that owns Super Mario Maker and has Internet access by entering special course codes in the game. Course codes will be shared after the event concludes.”
The Super Mario Maker event at the San Francisco Public Library will be held on March 30. Activities will take place between 3 PM and 7 PM.
