The first Super Mario Maker originally arrived in 2015 for the Wii U, with a 3DS port launching the next year. The port, however, did not contain everything that the original Wii U version did, electing to leave out several features.
Thankfully, the trailer above shows a glimpse at what’s to come in the sequel, and it’s looking pretty great so far. While it doesn’t give everything away, the video does gives us a look at some of the new features and tools that players will have at their disposal. And yes, the slopes. Did you see all of that slope-based action?
Super Mario Maker 2 is without a specific release date at this time, but it is set to arrive in June 2019 for Nintendo Switch.
