Leading up to Super Mario Maker’s release on Sept. 11th, we’re highlighting some of the coolest, most creative, or just plain ridiculous levels users have created so far. In this episode, we check out the level “Winners don’t do shrooms” from Kocobe in France, who flips the idea of mushrooms being a friend of Mario’s on its head.
Let us know in the comments below if you have suggestions for future videos!
Hello everyone! We’re planning another Super Mario Maker live stream for Tuesday. Like last time, it will be hosted on our YouTube page.
We’re currently planning on having the stream begin at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT. Also like last time, it will be an hour long.
If we make any changes to our streaming plans, this post will be updated with relevant information!
Nintendo will be holding a Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary Festival in Japan on September 13. It’s now confirmed that series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and longtime composer Koji Kondo will be appearing at the concert.
On that day, it seems that Miyamoto and Kondo will play Super Mario Maker. They’ll also discuss things about Mario during its design phases, as well as thoughts on the work itself.
Other guests set to appear at the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary Festival include CLACHIP, YMCK, and even Mario himself.
A new video of Guitar Hero Live has been posted by GameSpot from PAX Prime 2015. Take a look at the latest footage below.
Nintendo revealed today that the standard New 3DS will be making its way to North America on September 25 as a bundle with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. At the moment, this package is the only way to pick up the system in the states.
GamesBeat reached out to Nintendo to see if the New 3DS will be offered as a standalone unit. Unfortunately, the company only told the publication: “We have nothing to announce on this topic.”
That’s not too helpful! Today was definitely a great day for fans of the standard New 3DS, but hopefully it will be available on its own at some point in the future.

Kikuta will be able to create any type of track he wishes based on the three themes. Additionally, an area of the game will be specifically designed to complement his piece.
