The fighting video game “Super Smash Bros” for the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS will literally and figuratively get a game-changer of a new content with the impending arrival of the “Super Mario Maker” DLC come September 30.
The DLC is actually a stand-alone game and when it was released on September 10 in Japan, it drew positive and favorable reactions from gamers.
Reports also indicate that when the “Super Mario Maker” was released, it immediately helped double the Wii U console sales in Japan. For the first time ever, the game allows users to create their own “Super Mario” levels to play and share with friends, notes the Inquisitr.
Right on the first week after its release in Japan, over 1 million user-created levels were uploaded for other “Super Mario” games.
With such numbers, it is expected that the “Super Mario Maker” will be well on its way to breaking the record held by “LittleBigPlanet” with a record of 8 million community tracks uploaded.
“Super Smash Bros” is also known as “Super Smash Bros 4” and it was released in November last year.
While it is not the first DLC to come to “Super Smash Bros,” the “Super Mario Maker” is the most anticipated nonetheless.
The update is made available to players that have the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. It was generally a shocker to many players given the fact that the “Super Mario Maker” is merely a DLC to “Super Smash Bros,” cites Venture Capital Post.
Extra dose of excitement
The popular fighting game “Super Smash Bros” will get an extra dose of excitement again with another DLC coming its way at the end of the month.
But the new content would not be in the form of a new fighting character that the game has been known to release since its official launch on the Nintendo gaming consoles in April.
Instead, a new stage will be coming as a DLC and what’s even thrilling is that the new content actually just came out as a stand-alone game this month that is currently drawing plenty of excitement among gamers.
“Super Mario Maker” is every bit as good as a game, enabling gamers to create their own “Super Mario” levels and Nintendo decided to give it an extra visibility boost by releasing it as a DLC to “Super Smash Bros 4.
Nintendo’s YouTube channel released the footage showing the “Super Mario Maker” on the “Super Smash Bros” and the stage seems to be just as wild as it sounds.
“Super Smash Bros,” just like many of its characters, have stages that are based on other games. The fighting game usually takes the other game’s mechanics in its stage to a new level.
The message that comes with the video says that with so many parts on the layouts, the sky is the limit for stage design which means that the on-screen hand from “Super Mario Maker” appears and builds the stage from scratch at the start of each round, so the layout changes each time one plays.
Parts of the stage are also destroyed during the match, but the screen hand will appear and fix the broken blocks.
Coming to ‘Super Mario’ games
In addition to the “Super Smash Bros 4,” the “Super Mario Maker” will also be coming to four other Nintendo games involving Super Mario including “Super Mario Bros,” “Super Mario Bros 3,” “Super Mario World,” and “New Super Mario Bros.”
The “Super Mario Maker” DLC will come to “Super Smash Bros” on its Nintendo Wii U and 3DS editions but the Japanese gaming company has yet to release its retail price once it hits the market.
