Release Date: September 2015 Nintendo fans have been waiting for something like Mario Maker for a long, long time - to the point where its very unveiling almost feels like a joke or an April Fool's trick. Essentially, the game is poised as something akin to Super Mario Level Designer; the game literally allows players to build platform levels using an intricate toolbox built from all the classic Mario enemies, power-ups and pipes - complete with the option to render it using either 8-bit or modern 3D graphics. The idea is that players can create their own Mario levels, separate them into worlds, and pass them around between friends. To repeat that one more time: YOU CAN LITERALLY MAKE A MARIO GAME. This is a dream come true for all the Nintendo lovers who have spent countless hours wondering if they have what it takes to design their own Mario game. From what looks to be its easy-to-use design, beautiful graphics, ability to share with friends, and creative potential, there is arguably no game more inherently exciting on the horizon than this one. Just through existing, it automatically earns a preliminary 10/10 score.
