Super Mario Maker New Gameplay Videos Showcase A Variety Of Stages
Super Mario Maker, the upcoming Wii U game which allows players to create their own Super Mario Bros. stages launching in two months in all regions, has the potential to become one of the more successful Wii U games ever released, thanks to its sharing options which will allow players to let others play through their own unique creations. With the game’s powerful tools, Super Mario Maker’s possibilities are truly endless.
Some stages created using Super Mario Maker have been showcased by Nintendo UK this weekend at the Hyper Japan 2015, which is being held at the 02 in London. You can take a look at the videos from the event by going here for the first one and here for the second.
The ability to share one’s own creations in Super Mario Maker is definitely one of the more interesting features of the game but it could become the game’s doom if things are not handled properly. Luckily it seems Nintendo is fully aware of this, as it looks like the team has implemented a system which increases the number of uploadable stages depending on the quality of the stages uploaded by that user. This system should avoid the amount of low quality stages that gets shared in the game.
Super Mario Maker has been originally revealed last year as Mario Maker. The game allows players to create their own Super Mario stages by adding a lot of familiar elements through the Wii U GamePad and share them online. Super Mario Maker allows players to use a variety of styles such as the classic Super Mario Bros., the Super Mario Bros. 3, the Super Mario World and the New Super Mario Bros. U styles, with each style not only changing the graphics but also physics and mechanics.
Super Mario Maker will be released this September in all regions exclusively on Wii U. More news on the game will surely be coming soon so stay tuned for all the latest news on this unique new Super Mario video game.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
