I'm fairly certain that the game doesn't come with a stylus.

it does in europe and i believe in japan. in europe nintendo sends you one for free if you buy the digital edition.
You can't pick your character in multiplayer?!
I felt like it had to be a mistake. I can't think of a Nintendo game, or any multiplayer video game, that disabled you from picking a character if you picked up a controller in the wrong order.
Someone please reassure me.
So in theory, if I buy this to play with my girlfriend in couch multiplayer, she can never play as Toadette?
No, mainly because of the current state of multiplayer.
For a single Switch? No, you don't. But you would need to create the stages yourself!
Oh wow, now I feel ripped off in the US. Haha. Oh well, a capactive stylus is like $5.
Like with so many decisions in this game, who knows...
I suppose some people complained about people copying levels, but getting rid of the option to edit downloaded courses doesn't really stop that. The other answer is that it prevents people from spoiling themselves and "cheating", which would be in line with why they got rid of the full level thumbnails as well, but that's the most hamfisted solution to that non-problem imaginable. It totally stifles the collaborative creative aspect of the community and feels like a huge step back
There are special editions in EU and JP that come with one
Yes, unless you're only interested in building levels together
I think that it would be bad in online. f.e. all 4 players will choose mario. It would be so confusing.
Too bad they didn't deal with this issue before launch. A lot of reviews have lower scores because of that. I think it would've had a 92+ metacritic if the multiplayer would've been done correctly before launch.
Things where I really question 90+ ratings and metacritics and phrases like "best 2D Mario game" or "the ultimate Mario game".
And there are probably a lot of other questionable (and easy to avoid) design decisions on top of it.
Hope they patch it a lot in the future, they could really add stuff and fix a lot of mistakes to make it the ultimate Mario game, but some of the negative points right now are just sad.
The characters would appear as whichever one you didn't choose since they're otherwise identical in abilities and hitboxes.
Same way America's Army handled it, you couldn't choose to play as a terrorist, they just skinned the opposing team as them
No other mario game has only multiplayer so its still the ultimate 2D mario game.
I'm talking about local.
I need someone to reassure me that you can pick your character in local multiplayer. My GF was out of her mind excited when she saw the Toadette reveal and has been planning to buy it for us to play together (if I don't buy it for her first).
With the staggeringly long list of other omissions, this might be the actual final straw for me. They removed so many features that made me love Mario Maker but I was going to buy it anyway to play fun levels with my girlfriend who is excited to join me as Toadette.
Not being able to pick your character in local multiplayer in a 2019 Mario game that features fully playable Luigi, Toad and Toadette is unacceptable.
I really, really hope this is wrong.
Thanks, bought! Just needed the gentlest of pushes.
hold on - does the stylus in Europe only come with the digital bundle and online combo? Or just the regular £49.99 digital version? I don't have a code on my receipt to redeem. Does the 'two vouchers for £84' offer not include that particular version of mario maker?
"Super Mario Maker 2 can improve its multiplayer aspects" and "Super Mario Maker 2 is the ultimate Mario game" aren't mutually exclusive statements when previous Mario games don't have even the half-baked offerings SMM2 provides in the first place.
Dipped to 89? Ah well, I voted 90-94 but in actuality I was expecting something between the 85-94 range, so this is fine. Can't wait for Friday!
Will read some reviews when I get home later today.

Farfetch'd used Sarcasm! It's very ineffective!
I'm still excited for SMM2, but Gamexplain's reviews gives me some solid insight to consider. The lack of Amiibo costumes is a bummer but also it appears there aren't any silly opening like in SMM1 not any fun Title screen goofs (Wario making a cameo voice appearance when you click on the M in Mario or Mario's falling level voice samples) takes away some charm for sure. Still, content looks packed and I'm still eager to make some fun levels.
Great score!
All the issues seem like rather minor grievances that will be easy to update/patch upon updates - which SMM1 has plenty of.
Really pumped for Friday! (Hoping it unlocks at 12AM est)

The nitpicking is ridiculous. The costumes i can understand but the rest is so irrelevant to the overall quality and experience of the game.
I mean, rocking the Story Mode and Course World by myself is top-tier goddamn Mario.
But yeah, Nintendo online stuff.
Great scores as expected. I got hyped but then I remember I still need to buy a stylus, a screen protector and the online sub. Sigh.
Great and now with the online fee, i'm literally paying Nintendo to eventually delete my levels...

This might be a stupid question but I'm in The Netherlands and I can't for the life of me figure out wether or not the stylus offer is still valid. The product description doesn't mention it anymore so I assume they sold out?
Are you trying to tell me GameXplain nitpicks and makes little things into something bigger than they need to be? I look forward to a 40 minute video on what Aonuma had for lunch yesterday and what it means for BOTW2's future.
(I kid...I think?)
The way this online works who has what skin doesn't really matter, so they could just make it so who is which character is different for each player in the room. If you pick Toadette you are Toadette in your room and everyone else is Mario, Luigi, and Toad, while someone else could have also picked Toadette and you are Luigi for them.
When it comes to a creation and community tools, nitpicks can be valid. Especially when features are removed that people enjoyed.
That said I haven't seen any so far that will prevent this from being a great game.
I hope this excessive nitpicking from GameXplain is temporary, not felt like watching any lf their coverage due to it. If not, maybe they'll rebrand to GameComplain.
damn that joke sucked
Really liked Andre from GameXplain's very honest review. As strictly a player and not a creator, I think the game will be great for me, but his valid criticisms of the design tools and multiplayer may make a lot of people a bit divided on this one. We'll see how it goes.
Yup, Andre is not the one who should be being blamed for his review ;)
