Miyamoto’s Babies
Following Mario Maker‘s reveal at least year’s E3, the game recently received a launch window of September 2015, 30 years after the first Super Mario Bros. came out for the Nintendo Famicom on September 13, 1985. No specific date has been set for Mario Maker, and aside from a new video of possibilities in April, we haven’t seen much of the game. This means it’s almost assured that the Super Mario level builder will be shown off during E3, likely with a cemented date in place.
Mario Maker wasn’t the only new game Nintendo unveiled at E3 2014, as Mario’s forefather Shigeru Miyamoto was on the event floor showing off his two new titles in the works, tentatively titled Project Giant Robot and Project Guard. Both games utilize the gamepad in clever and creative ways, both games were a delight to play, and both games have been unheard of since that initial reveal. Hopefully that means they’ll be much more fleshed out with proper names at the upcoming E3, and approaching release before the end of the year.
