Super Mario Maker was one of the Wii U’s best games, taking advantage of the GamePad in such a way that even its sequel for the Switch isn’t quite as intuitive.
Yet all good things must come to an end eventually, and Nintendo is going to be cutting off the ability to upload courses to the Wii U version of Super Mario Maker from March 31, 2021.
From 31/03, you will no longer be able to upload courses in #SuperMarioMaker for #WiiU. Thank you to all the players for supporting Super Mario Maker for Wii U since 2015!

That’s not all, either, as alongside the discontinuation will come the closure of the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website. You’ll still be able to play courses uploaded before March 31st, however.
Finally, you won’t be able to buy the game from the Wii U eShop on January 13th, 2021. Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch won’t be affected.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
