That was a lot of fun, especially the Super Mario Maker part. As someone who adores level design, this game is going to suck a lot of hours from my free time.


I think some lowlights were the 9-year-old during Splatoon that I found a tad grating, and the HungryJackBox guy coming across as a little too strong during his taunting.

Only caught the Mario Maker bit and it surprised me how much I laughed. It looks incredibly fun. So many weird and unsuspecting things you can do.

After watching that, I am 100% sold on Mario Maker turning out to be awesome, hopefully there's a good system for ranking user created levels so that the best are easy to find, a huge supply of crazy levels like they played tonight would be awesome.


Overall, I think the Nintendo World Championships was better than I was expecting.  The announcing was generally not particularly good and the way they broadcasted Splatoon made it difficult to tell what was going on but other than that it was good, I thought they had a good selection of games, mixing new and classic, and ending with wacky levels from Mario Maker that they had never seen before was a great way to end it.

Holy crap, that Mario Maker tournament was incredible. That was probably the best way to sell that game. So unexpected and cool.
