Seemingly confirming the online requirements
Along with confirming the release date yesterday, Nintendo UK has announced a limited edition of Super Mario Maker 2 for Europe. While it doesn’t have a fancy case or any extra content, it does include a year subscription to Switch Online. I suppose it also inadvertently confirms that Mario Maker 2 will require a paid subscription to the service to share levels.
If you happen to pre-order Mario Maker 2 in Europe, you’ll receive a themed stylus compatible with the Switch to help you build levels. Digital pre-orders from the eShop will receive a My Nintendo voucher for the stylus, which will be shipped out soon after launch. As superfluous as that stylus is, I want it!
To reiterate, Super Mario Maker 2 will be releasing globally on June 28, 2019. It will contain all of the building blocks from the original with new content based around Super Mario 3D World. Get ready for a whole lot of cat Mario!
