A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Super Mario Maker is shutting down, how should I prepare? (feddit.uk)

Alas, the live service, bane of the patient gamer.

I picked up the original Super Mario Maker on WiiU for cheap a few years ago but haven't really played it much (who knew that professional level designers are better at designing fun levels than internet randos?), but apparently its servers are being shut down on 8th April. (This has apparently been announced for a while but I only discovered it from recent articles about players trying to beat every level!)

Does anyone know if there's any way to mass-download levels before the servers go offline? Is it just a case of manually downloading all the top levels one by one? Should I just play it intensely for two weeks assuming it'll then be reduced to the default levels regardless? Are there third-party tools to download levels on Cemu instead?

Edit: I was incorrect stating it’s still sold for $40.

They’re still selling this game for $40! Why can they not continue to support it?

Are they? All the articles I can see say it's not been available for purchase since 2021. Are you thinking of Super Mario Maker 2 for the Switch?

Super Mario Maker for Wii U will be removed from sale on Nintendo eShop on January 13th 2021

from Nintendo

Welp, looks like I looked too quickly and you’re correct. Google sucks ass now and never directly shows what you search.
