So this update looks great. It added just about everything I could have wanted from a Mario Maker game on a core level, and the idea of themed Mario World esq games that we can create and thematically drive is amazing.
My only thought though is that, well, is this too little too late? I mean, the game came out about a year ago, and when it launched, it didn't have the ideal settings that we all kind of hoped for. When the Zelda update rolled out, I was impressed, but I didn't really find myself wanting to go back to the game, and I'm kind of sitting here feeling the same for this update. I'll likely check it out, but if all of this came out a little closer to launch, or at least within the calendar year span, I think I would have been more excited.
The costumes for amiibo being gone is a big shame still, but it's not the end of the world. I think, with all these updates, Mario Maker 2 is a pretty incredible game for what it offers and can do, and I hope that some really neat ideas can finally be fleshed out.
