Nintendo is pushing out Super Mario Maker for 3DS right in time for the holidays, and while there’s no doubt in my mind that it’ll sell well as a portable Mario game, this version leaves a lot to be desired compared to its superior Wii U counterpart.
Players can’t directly share their custom-made levels online (only locally), and the many fun little referential Mystery Mushroom costumes aren’t in, either.
It’s one of the best-selling Wii U games from Nintendo ever, having sold more than 3.73 million copies around the world as of September 30. Notably, this number includes copies sold in Wii U bundles.
If you’re in the market for a 3DS, various retailers will offer the New 3DS (not the XL edition) for $100 on Black Friday in a special-edition black or white model.
