I like how people are complaining that Laura Crauft (however you spell her fake name) is in therapy in the new game. Uhh... well... she just went on an archaeological dig that turned out to be her ship wrecked on an island where she was almost raped, her friends all nearly died, there was a bunch of supernatural stuff that tried to kill her, an army of men trying to kill her, and she was forced to fend for herself and murder hundreds of men to survive.  Yea.  She's in therapy.  

 

As for the Nintendo press conference yea it's a joke.  Why would they put effort into it?  Right next door are people who have games two generations ahead of theirs.  "You can go to these mountains!  Just like San Andreas, which was released about 12 years ago."  The people who buy their games are going to buy their games.  They're not making any new fans.  They're relying on a whale generation to carry their tomb to the golden mountain that you can go to. 

 

And the X1 doesn't have any exclusives worth anyone's time.  Sunset Overdrive?  After its done making my eyes bleed, it looks quite dumb.  Americans seem to like it because the word 'dude' is used religiously.  Just Tony Hawk mixed with a really dull 3rd person shooter.  Destiny looks like trash... I mean seriously?  It looks like they just turned Halo into an open world Call of Dooty.  And a new Halo... yea... great.  Halo 16, or whatever it is.  I'm good with not owning a X1.

 

Update: Oh... Destiny isn't even an X1 exclusive?  I thought it was.  Oh.  If you want to play alternative Halo with a boring open world campaign, then do it on a PS4.  Easy solution.

Another game or 2 I forgot to mention Captain Toad and Mario Maker.

Captain Toad looks pretty cool although I'm more excited for Yoshi but Toad looks pretty good.

 

Mario Maker looks like it's going to be fun making Mario bros stages and some of the ones I've seen so far are crazy.

Looks like a low budget Little Big Planet.

Yea, there has to be a thousand things on the internet like this.  But at least it's not just another Mario game... I can see this being interesting in a competitive scene.  But is the competitive scene even that strong in the Nintendo fanbase?  I'd hope so if they actually want to sell this and keep it populated for more than a few days before people get bored of it.

Nintendo are holding(held?) the first ever Super Smash Bros invitational so they are starting to catch on to how things work this century.

 

There are rumours that there'll be additional music packs and themes or skins for this and that this only the basics since it's at like the alpha stage.

Even the possibility of skins/themes from non Mario games who knows a Zelda themed Mario maker skin or Pikmin could be very cool.

But there's a lot of potential in Mario Maker especially if there's an easily available way of sharing and rating stages.

It also kind opens up some interesting opportunities for other similar things like Super Mario Bros 2 Maker, or 3 or world or even just imagine a Yoshi's world style maker game or some sort of hybrid.

I'd also hope there'd be a way of sharing packs of stages so people could potentially make entire games in it.

This could be big if Nintendo play it smart and properly support it.

They should make a DVD burner peripheral for the WiiU so you can burn your Mario game on it and sell it in retail
