The answer is a clear NO as they are NOT interested in retro games and only interested in making MONEY off their old products.

Perhaps the same could be said of ALL companies.

(Yes this is a reference to SOTN)

Nintendo does sell devkits to financially stable companies that have released a substantial game on another platform. In 2011, it even dropped the requirement that a company have a separate office.

I don't think the average 6 year old who is playing Mario Maker is going to be able to do that... However, They're still able to make custom graphics and maybe code simple objects if you're working with something like this:



I, however, cannot stand it. Once you try to do something beyond making your character jump twice as high, it totally falls apart and coding in assembly becomes easier. (Like Basic, from what I've heard.) I tried to put my XBone to use, but I soon found out there is none. :/

I certainly do not hope so. There is already hundred and hunders of low quality Super Mario World hacks on RHDN and it causes problems as they monopolize the approving queue, I certainly don't want to see this problem increased even more.

This is exactly my opinion of the the Super Mario World level editor (Lunar Magic, I think it's called). And level editors in general.

Making hard tasks more accessible to the general public through "maker" tools has this very undesirable effect of making untalented people think they can do anything. I'm not saying everyone should be awesome from the get go, but they should have the common sense to tell personal accomplishments from a product worth releasing.

They are also taking down ROM hacks in particular, SMW.

I've migrated to Dailymotion where the search system isn't biased or uses some stupid SEO algorithm to make popular users more popular and lesser users lower.

Besides, Nintendo will ONLY do YouTube takedowns, because they are blind to everything else, like most other companies in this world.

(also ignore those bot/idiot on there that makes 1000 uploads a month under many accounts all from YouTube videos)
