Can't wait try to it when I get home from work.Want to try Derek's level for yourself? The course ID is BD99-0000-0062-6FC7, but be warned: the level is hard. To upload a Super Mario Maker level, you have to be able to beat it yourself, and after Yu handed this to us, it took more than an hour - and hundreds of lost lives - to get through it. Good luck!
A console and a handheld, running the same operating system, with games that can be run on both and scale based on hardware. Nintendo is going full iOS here and merging their console/hardware teams and development to effectively double their software output which should allow them to provide enough games to be the sole/main developer for their hardware. With this they will stop caring what 3rd parties decide to do.TOKYO- Nintendo Co. has begun distributing a software development kit for its new NX videogame platform, people familiar with the matter said, suggesting the company is on track to introduce the product as early as next year.
The kit is used by third-party software developers to modify existing games for the platform or create new ones. Videogame console makers such as Nintendo like to have popular game titles ready when they start selling new devices.
Nintendo's current flagship products are the Wii U, a console typically used in the living room, and the portable 3DS device. Both have been out for several years, leading analysts to predict that the Kyoto-based entertainment powerhouse will move fairly swiftly to bring out the NX.
"We are increasingly of the idea that Nintendo might launch the NX in 2016 because of the softness of 3DS and Wii U," said David Gibson, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Securities.
A Nintendo spokeswoman said the company plans to disclose details of NX next year.
Square Enix Co. said in July that it planned to make the latest version of its blockbuster role-playing game Dragon Quest for the NX. That version, called Dragon Quest XI, is also planned for the 3DS and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 4.
The exact shape of the NX hardware isn't yet clear. People familiar with the development plans said Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use. They also said Nintendo would aim to put industry-leading chips in the NX devices, after criticism that the Wii U's capabilities didn't match those of competitors.
Nintendo's former president, Satoru Iwata, said in March that NX "is a platform dedicated for videogames." Mr. Iwata died in July, and his post was assumed in September by Tatsumi Kimishima, a former banker who served as one of Mr. Iwata's top lieutenants at Nintendo.
Mr. Kimishima is expected to carry forward the strategy of Mr. Iwata, a legendary figure for many videogame fans. In the months before his death, Mr. Iwata laid out plans to put Nintendo characters in games for mobile devices under a partnership with DeNA Co. and made a deal with amusement park operator Universal Parks & Resorts, which is part of Comcast Corp.
"Nintendo is no longer just a traditional videogame company," said industry veteran Hirokazu Hamamura, a director at Kadokawa Dwango Corp., which publishes magazines about videogames.

The NX won't be coming out until late 2016 at best, more likely sometime in 2017. That puts the Wii U lifespan at 5 years, which is pretty much the average life of a Nintendo console. The last generation for all 3 console makers was much longer than they wanted.Glad i didnt buy the Wii-U(well i did but sent it back) b/c it hasnt been long enough for another system imo. However in the end its a good move for 3rd party support if they can bring in enough power to the table. However their stubbornness to include gimmicky addons to consoles always make it cost more than needed.
Not entirely disagreeing, but...i just don't see a world where nintendo isn't forced to be just a games developer and abandon hardware. Maybe it will take another generation or two but there is no way they can compete at the handheld end with mobile phones and at the top end with PC/console gaming. Sadly I think it'll take the NX being a mega bomb while their new eDNA mobile games partnership is a huge hit for them to finally acknowledge that.
Because the majority of Nintendo's revenue come from their hardware. They also make 100% of the profit off their software because they release it to their own hardware.i just don't see a world where nintendo isn't forced to be just a games developer and abandon hardware.

Like koljec said, they are very much like Apple. Their hardware is built with their software in mind (not the other way around like Xbox/PS) - and even more so going forward with them combining the handheld and console divisions.
