The latest show is slated for today, May 15, and there's one very big game that will be shown off: Super Mario Maker 2.

Nintendo Direct Super Mario Maker 2 live stream
The latest May 15, 2019 Nintendo Direct live streaming event is once again being hosted over on the official Nintendo YouTube channel. Given the wonders of the internet, however, we can save users a few clicks. Gamers can check the latest news and get a more in-depth look at Super Mario Maker 2 in the video embed below.
It should go without saying that Super Mario Maker 2 is one of the most frequently requested games among Nintendo Switch owners. The Wii U original was a fantastic way for players to get their platforming kicks as well as create and share interesting (and often brutally challenging) custom levels.
Given that for all intents and purposes, the Switch is basically an upgraded Wii U, many fans were hoping that Nintendo would port the game over to its newer hardware. Turns out the developers had a better idea: Just make another one. Building on the format from the previous release is a bit of a no-brainer, but we do expect that Nintendo will have made a few tweaks and changes to better suit the title to the Switch hardware.
Don't miss out on the action: Watch the May 15, 2019 Nintendo Direct live stream right here on this page. For more coverage of Nintendo's many games and latest hardware, including news, guides, and more, head on over to the Modojo @ Shacknews homepage.

Looking at T-1 now.
-
Or rather, starting right now!
-
-
-
New stuff now!
-
Multi-speed snake blocks
-
Swing claw? Looks like stuff out of Donkey Kong :)
Flood courses with water/lava at different speeds and heights!
Auto-scroll can change speeds as well as distances.
Homing Bonzai bil!
Drybones shell power up! Lava proof!
Additional sound/video effects, including grey scale stuff!
Additional clear conditions! Get XX coins, defeat enemies, clear with power up, etc!
MULTI-FUCKING COLOR YOSHIS!
Boom-boom is officially here!
Story mode?
- Rebuild Princess Peaches castle
- Clear courses to earn coins to fund the building
- 100+ Nintendo crafted courses!
New Course themes include:
- Desert area
- Snow area
- Forest area
- Sky area (no ground)
- New music!
Change to night-time for awesome effects!
- Ghost house, low vision
- Sky, low gravity
- Snow, low friction
- Forest, poison stuff
- Additional stuff I couldn't write down fast enough and unannounced!
3D World
- Has destructible crates that will float on lava/water
- Blinking blocks on a timer!
- skip squeeks!
- Fucking Mario carts!
- Charvaargh!
- Pom Pom!
- Cat Bowser!
- Probably other stuff I missed, going to have to rewatch.
Better search options and comment options like Miiverse!
Maker points return :/
- Added Mii customization for your "creator avatar"
Leader boards
PLAY TOGETHER!
- NSMB like multiplayer!
- Vs Mode race to the finish!
- Coop mode requires cooperation, looks like vs without the same "winner condition"
Categories for different level types (auto-scroll, vs mode in mind, etc.)
Nothing so far about shared level creation yet...
Online bundle available (Nintendo Online) for $70, $10 off.
Switch "game voucher", $100 gets two games through the eShop for full price game discounts, effectively turning them into $50 games. They do expire though.
Invitational coming up but I missed the date.-
Additional stuff,
Night "evil sun" becomes a enemy destroying moon.
Underground "night theme" has reverse gravity.
Night version life mushroom is a death shroom
Night version "ground" theme makes some enemies float as if there was no gravity.
Night version desert has a sandstorm effecting traversal -
Also forgot to mention vertical levels (with scrolling if desired) although it appears vertical specific levels will need to be after a door/pipe.
Also, 3D World has access to warp blocks, they function much like pipes although they can be one way and drop you in the middle of a room or whatever.

Invitational 2019 is on June 8th (I think that's their e3 day).
-
-
wooo tags. the multiplayer looks cool too
-
Multiplayer looks actually pretty awesome.
-
It's the same that's been around since NSMB:Wii, it will ruin some people but yeah, it can be fun. I like the idea of VS mode here though, not having to worry about people being left behind will be great!
-
yeah but Mario Maker didn’t have them, right? Also co-op looks new.
-
Yup, Mario Maker 1 had no simultaneous coop of any kind.
-
-
-
-
-
Didn't say but I'd assume your assumption is correct.
-
-
Here's the details page
https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/special-offers/
Currently only 26 games qualify BUT you don't have to use the voucher immediately, just within the year.
So if you buy SMM2 now and wait for ....say.... Pokemon or Animal Crossing ...(presuming they will be part of this deal...) -

It's still extremely limited by comparison. Climbing the walls in the cat suit for example is really no different than the fences in the actual SMW. Actually, there's probably more "depth" to SMW there since you can flip around to the other side. The obstacles sure, but it still doesn't seem interesting enough to devote a whole mode to.
Super Mario Bros. 2 would round out the whole 2D Mario Maker package a lot better imo. I loved that game.

The creator itself looks great, lots of additions and improvements but the sharing stuff seems mostly the same?
And I feel like everyone was wanting or expecting a basic overworld feature or ability to daisy chain a bunch of levels together to share 'worlds', but it looks like a single level only share system again.-
-
-
That is why it's not in there. Letting people build full games could de-valuate future products, and sales of classic games.
-
That being said, you can get pretty close with numbering and stuff.
-
No it couldn't, that's crazy talk.
The number of people who would say "Well I can play these cool Mario levels in Mario Maker 2, might as well skip the new Mario game" is so small as to not be worth thinking about. You gotta remember that most game sales come from people who would never even realize that's a thing. -

They did add stuff to SMM after release (checkpoints being a big one). It's possible we'll see that or maybe they're waiting to e3 for that reveal?
-
-
-
-
can the auto scroller levels be filtered out?
-
There are several different categories you can look at and auto-scrollers are one of them, so just avoid that category?

Don't worry, I'll make like 30+
-
-
3d world stuff looks great but i suspect will be less balanced and more "niche" i.e., lots of fun but not as refined for pure skill-based courses.
the amount of shit they added is crazy! and co-op looks great! co-op level making!-
I've got an idea for a series of levels where W1 is 3D World, W2 is NSMB, W3 is SMW, etc all the way down. It inherently gets harder as your power up and mobility options shrink.
