10 Video Game Sequels That Fixed Specific Fan Complaints
1. Super Mario Maker 2: No More Stealing Others’ Limelight
Super Mario Maker was one of the highlights of the Wii U’s limited library. The concept was as super simple as it proved super popular: a suite of tools allows you to craft your own 2D Super Mario levels, while you also have the capacity to look through, download and play the creations of others.
Naturally, with the many uploaded courses, there was enough content here to last an eternity without ever even crafting any of your own. The critically acclaimed title spawned a Nintendo Switch sequel, Super Mario Maker 2, which rectified an issue so many users had with the first game.
Returning players may have found it quite jarring to notice that they were unable to edit downloaded courses from fellow players. What was the thinking behind this decision? Well, it prevents those less imaginative players from nabbing a course, making subtle tweaks and then uploading it again, earning all sorts of kudos for somebody else’s painstaking work.
Have you ever seen a great Tweet copy and pasted numerous times over, as Twitter users desperately scrabble for second-hand retweets and favorites? This was much the same thing, and Super Mario Maker 2’s social aspect is far better off for its removal.
