Mario Maker Arriving In September Instead

It is always nice to know that there is longevity in certain things – including institutions of food, perhaps a classic hotel, and when it comes to mass media consumption, movies, songs and video games are also part of the deal. Mario, the rotund plumber who originated from Japan (as opposed to his supposedly Italian heritage), has been around for quite some time, so much so that three decades have already passed – can you believe just how fast time flies?

Mario Maker, a level creator that is set to launch at around Super Mario Bros’ 30th Anniversary, looks to have run into a stumbling block itself, since it has been delayed to a September 2015 rollout. The game itself has been announced before to arrive some time before July knocks on June’s door this year, but I guess there are issues which need to be worked out before it is ready to rock and roll.

Basically, Mario Maker would enable Wii U users to come up with their very own Mario levels – and then sharing it with the rest of the world, letting players switch easily between the 8-bit visuals of the original Super Mario Bros. as well as the updated ‘HD’ look of New Super Mario Bros., which should be worth checking out all by itself.
