The actual date is known? A quick google search just shows June.
Also do you guys think you will need to pay for Nintendo online to play user generated levels for Mario Maker 2?
A European store accidentally leaked the release date as June 12. It was quickly taken down but not before people got screen shots.

Yeah if they require Nintendo online I too will be passing on Mario Maker 2 as well. Hopefully this information comes out before the game launches.

It will most likely require Nintendo online to download of upload levels but besides that the game software should be fine to mess around with offline.
And I will most likely not buy it if thatās the case. Iāve had it pre-ordered since the announcement but will gladly cancel it if I need some BS subscription to play other peopleās levels.

They are absolutely going to integrate NSO Into MM2. Why the fuck wouldnāt they?

So the big rumor about the direct thatās āscheduledā for the 11th is the overarching theme of the direct will be a tribute, giving thanks and saying good bye to Reggie. It will still show off games, upcoming dlc, release datesā¦etc but Reggie will be the theme.
Which likely means he will be narrating it like he use to along with a lot of funny skits, throwbacks and vignettes.
Yeah, they announced June during the last Direct. Hoping to get an actual date.
And yes, I canāt imagine youāll be able to play online content without having Nintendoāsā¦ online serviceā¦
No big deal for me since itās something I already subscribe to.
Unfortunate for those skipping the game because of it, though.
Edit: Just thought of something. What if we can have GHOST RACES in SMM2?! They could set it like in 3D World where you race the Mii of whatever player youāre trying to beat. How awesome would that be?
I get both sides regarding smm2. I get that as a gamer you donāt really feel like you shoul have to spend an extra 20 bucks just to have access to player made content especially if you feel thatās gonna be the only thing you may end up using the online service for. Yaāll are well within your rights to pass on it.
That being said Nintendo is a business and their mission is to try to continue to make their online enticing enough to spend that 20 bucks.
Kinda curious but donāt most games that give access to player created content on consoles require their online services?

got it bookmarked. Thx d3v.
Well itās not really āplaying onlineā though. Youāre just downloading something and playing it locally. And then there are leaderboards and stuff. But I donāt know how they handle leaderboards now and things like that as I donāt play any games on Switch that are online.
Itās this gray area, so who knows what they will do. Iām assuming they will make you sub to NSO for it because they like money, but they will lose my sale if that is the case.

Itād be nice if SMM2 bypassed Nintendo Online, but that isnāt happening. Iāll probably sign up for the service when SMM2 drops.
I do like that Europe is investigating the 3 console makers about their online subscriptions. Free online in consoles should be a thingā¦again.

Little Big Planet 3 didnāt need PS+ to access player levels. You only needed it for online co-op. SMM2 should bypass Nintendo online as thereās no multiplayer to speak of.

Thanks for answering. So if Sony didnāt put access to player made content behind the subscription then that makes the chances of them putting it behind the paywall slimmer. Would def be nice if they didnāt can put another feather in their hat for being a top 10 reputable company.
Come on nowā¦donāt squander it.
This, I did not know. Now you got my hopes up dammit >_<

Where in the hell did that Jade promo come from? Iāve never seen that lol.
Iām kinda hoping there is, and with Luigi on the box art itās definitely hinting at the possibility.
But I totally get where yāall are coming from. In fact, I think itās complete bullshit you have to pay for an online service, period. I hate that you have to pay for PSN to play online, especially after they touted how they were free and MS Gold wasnāt. Now we have Nintendo doing the same thing. Bullshit.
But you know what? I like to play video games online with my friends, and if thatās the cost for admission Iām gonna pony up. I pay the $60 a year for Sony and $20 for Nintendo.
At least itās cheaper than PS and MS services.
ha, I bet a certain friend is going to try and save face by just claiming Warhammer Inquisitor CAN be played offline. He bought that shit and probably regrets not doing the research beforehand to realize itās yet more of the industryās āonline-only! lolā bullshitā¦this should be funny as he just proceeds to pretend he can play that one offline, because heās one of those people who can never admit heās wrong or made a bad choice on something. I think if it comes up again Iāll just refer him to the various forum topics where people are probably still wishing for an offline mode.
This issue with Super Mario Maker does present quite the problem; I didnāt even think about it really until people brought it up in recent postsā¦ I also would rather not pay Nintendo even 1 cent for that shitty ass serviceā¦I used up my free trial on Diablo 3 and canceled before they started charging me. I could probably be ok just making and playing my own levelsā¦ I had more fun with that aspect of it as opposed to playing other peopleās levelsā¦I would miss that pleasure of uploading my creations though and seeing who could pass them.
