So I've saved stages from the community (3DS), now how do I go and play them? I can't find where they're stored, even though it says its been saved to my SD card?
EDIT: I'm dumb, select the "Saved" stages in the community tab at the bottom where the default is "Popular"

Are they actually any good? Previous games already had online user created levels (even if they were less of a focus), and man, they really proved level design is a job and an art that not that much people master.
It's the best part of Pushmo: the way Pushmo is designed, creating interesting levels is rather easy (a bit like Picross), but Mario vs. Donkey Kong games really need talent for levels to be any good (not even "really good", just any good).
Still excited for the game though, I'll get it as soon as it comes to Europe, I love this puzzle series, the folks designing them are really talented. Minis on the Move was a masterpiece of the genre.

The ones that have come up under the "Popular" search have been pretty solid and fun. It's just the first day and all, I expect that as more get added in and more people vote with their wallets (stars) that the cream will rise to the top and we'll have a decently curated selection going on.

Im interested, PM sent
I agree, I wonder if Nintendo will add more building pieces as time goes long.
Keep tipping guys.

Yes. It's the big thing with this game.

... unlike Pushmo World, then, I suppose, game was a gigantic missed opportunity, you couldn't even follow level creators, and featured levels disappeared forever within a few days. Totally killed the design scene of the game.
Then again, the studio behind the Minis is a western studio, so they're a bit more involved in online stuff.

Yeah, this is the first game where Nintendo finally understands we have online now.

In this case the "Nintendo" blanket makes no sense. Pushmo is developed by Intelligent Systems. Mario vs DK is developed by NST. How each game handles the online sharing is up to them. Not "Nintendo." These are two very different development studios. This has very little bearing on the details of how EAD will handle Mario Maker's online community stuff.

Nintendo could give guidelines. We know from several anecdotes and "Iwata Asks" interviews they don't just let studios do whatever they want, especially when it comes to something like online and Miiverse.
Pushmo World, in particular, seems like something producers ask for, not something studios decide to do (the same as the 3DS game, only on Wii U and with new levels and more online capabilities). It wouldn't have killed Nintendo to tell I.S.: "the online component of Pushmo World isn't good enough yet and won't send the message the company wants to send regarding to Miiverse and online Wii U features".
Simply adding a "view levels from friends and people you follow" button (which is a simple, basic MySQL request) would have changed everything in regard to Pushmo World's interest and longevity. Here I think it's Nintendo's fault. The fact they put YouTube (which isn't that important) on Mario Kart 8 and not such a basic feature in Pusho World shows Nintendo doesn't understand online yet.
This being said, I do think online decisions in Mario vs. DK games come mostly from NST, but then again, making online such a focus in Nintendo's communication for Tipping Stars could suggest a shift. So yeah, Mario Maker could go both ways.

I was going to get this until I saw the price tag. 20 dollars seems rather high, especially since this is barely an upgrade over Mini-Land Mayhem.

Ye I dont get the arguement either. Paid $10 for it and loving it.

Am I wrong or is there no progress saved between the 3DS and Wii U?
I just started Wii U and it's starting from 1-1. I'm in World 4 on 3DS.
What's the point of cross buy if this is the case? I don't want to play this game twice. Tools to make your own levels are locked behind the single player game. ...right?

They're two completely different games to me. This follows the formula of the other minis games, where it's like Lemmings but you mess with the environment instead of the characters themselves. Minis on the Move reminds me more of Pipe Dream and just doesn't have as much longevity IMO.

It's not cross-buy it's buy 1 get 1 free. That's the whole point behind giving you a code to give away.

I don't know if that's the "point" but ok. I mean, they could just cut the cost in half and save me the trouble of trying to unload a code. Of course, that's not good business and we all know Nintendo's main drive is the bottom line. Haha.
You are looking at it as 1 game cost 10 but maybe just maybe one game cost 20 and you are getting the same game free on another platform.

Well, it is. They specifically called out that option in the January Direct.

I like both, but I understand why Nintendo went for this design again. Still, I hope Nintendo doesn't abandon the gameplay of Minis on the Move entirely.

So, I guess I am not seeing how the crossbuy is really offering any sort of discount...
Mini's March Again - $7.99
Mini's on the Move - $9.99
Tipping Stars - $19.99
It mean sure you are getting two copies of the game but you are also paying twice as much as you usually would for an entry in this series.

To be fair, this is the first console entry in the series.
Although it's missing some previous mainstay features (like boss battles and minigames) the amount of content in this one is more comparable to the retail releases. Mini's March Again, even though it had its own new traversal gimmick was based a lot on content from March of the Minis and was more like half a game. Minis on the Move is kind of its own thing too, but didn't have too much in the way of extra content either.

I'm assuming the 3ds version uses 3d?
If so I'm interested in buying a code from someone, not sure if this is the hot spot to ask this, I'm in NA.

I liked the boss battles. They were like proof that the mechanics could work under pressure. (Hated the minigames like three-box monte, though.) Just throwing more levels at me doesn't feel like it increases the value proposition.
Maybe if people come up with some really incredible download levels I'd bite.
But really I want WarioWare DIY 2 with full 3DS/WiiU compatibility. THAT would be incredible.

I've made four levels so far but how can I get you guys to check them out? I'm very proud of them. Was up till 3am working on a few.
Link your miiverse ID and have people follow you. Then they can look at their Friends&Follow search.

How do you know when people have tipped you?
Each time you boot up the game, go into workshop and if there are any tips waiting for you, you will see them there.

OK, I just haven't had any yet. Thanks.
You missed some.

I haven't played my copy yet, but I read or heard in a review that the 3DS version does not support 3D.

The 3DS version is not 3D.
The Wii U version doesn't fill the television screen. It has a very large border.
Some odd presentation decisions were made for both versions.

Well, the Wii U version, like Kirby Rainbow Curse, is meant to be played on the gamepad. The tv is only useful for a full view of bigger levels really, something to be glanced at occasionally.

Well that doesn't explain why it doesn't fill the screen, but, ok...
I'm just now realizing with DS's WiFi switched off it's going to be tough to find a way to get those Nintendo-made MMM/MLM levels. I think I heard there might be a proxy server or something, though? Anyone know about this?
