When a company like Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft designs a console (or handheld), they have a few things to worry about, like keeping prices as low as possible while ensuring everything still works. But what if that wasn’t an obstacle for games hardware? What if they could be as beautiful as any other piece…

It’s not surprising to see people try to trick other players in Super Mario Maker. I just wasn’t expecting Nintendo to give anyone a helping hand in doing it. Hilariously, the “featured” tab in Mario Maker shows this right now: See that level by Kocobe, titled “All the costumes unlocked! :)? Well, that’s typically a…
