Super Mario Maker
(Dec. 2 – Nintendo 3DS)
Super Mario Maker proved to be quite the surprise when it released on the Wii U last fall. While many fans were hoping for a brand new Mario release, they were instead told to make their own. It seemed like an odd idea, one that was fun, yes, but would easily get old. It turned out that Nintendo knew exactly what they were doing (as they tend to).
Now, fans will be able to take the level building antics on the go when Super Mario Maker releases on the 3DS. Sure, the graphics won’t be as beautiful as they were on a home console, but graphics were but a small part of the experience. Creating seemingly impossible challenges and trying out the toughest creations uploaded by others offers hundreds of hours of platforming fun. If you never picked up a Wii U for whatever reason, this is your perfect opportunity to try one of the greatest games to hit the platform.
