beautiful.

but whats up with the toy world?

Our Nintendo rep gave us a copy for the store kiosk...I'm going to get no work done tomorrow. :D

I have to agree with you on this MadonnasManOne as I don't understand how someone could be disgusted with a system, but to each his own. The Wii has some solid games out now. But, if you're kind of a hardcore gamer, then the 360 does have much better titles in that perspective. Personally I just like having fun with games and playing them when I get a chance, not dumping a ton of time into each game.

Back OT, since zero said he got a copy for their kiosk, I hope my local GameStop got it too so I can waste some time on it :D

Reviews are coming in. I've read three reviews, several hands-on impressions, and from all accounts, this is the Super Mario game we've been waiting for. The latest comes from UK's Official Nintendo Magazine. A portion of the review has been reported at GoNintendo.com:

97%: “It’s funny because the thing that annoys us most is that its fantastic graphics show us the sort of games we could have been playing for the past year had some developers bothered to pull their finger out. Throughout the whole game the graphics constantly amaze, with stunning visual effects, some remarkably huge playing areas, and characters that are positively filled to the brim with personality. The sound is some of the best we’ve heard in a Mario game. Some of the power-ups give a similar sense of nostalgia. While some of the missions are quite simple, others will test the skills of even the most dedicated Mario fans.” - reviewer Chris Scullion

The wait for this game becomes more difficult!

I've got absolutely ZERO hype for this game.

But I'm still getting it day one and I know it'll be awesome.

full version rumored to be leaked on the net as of 10.25

I haven't even said anything!

:lol:

I just read about that. Why in the hell would Nintendo put the entire game on the Demo disc? That's just plain stupid. Here's the story for those who haven't seen it:

This just showed up completely on my local newsgroup. I'm still gonna buy it on opening day though.

I'm a little surprised by the lack of excitement for SMG. From what I've seen, it looks like a real return to form after the controversial Sunshine (which I liked, but not as much as Mario 64). I can't wait to play it.

I just read that this game has mod chip detection. Whether your galaxy game is an original or a copy, you will receive an error message and won't be able to play.

10, 9, 9, 10 from Famitsu.

Yeah, that was up on post #16 :)

IGN has cool Super Mario Galaxy launch site:

SMG Launch Center

:D

That's exactly the problem. Too many people feel burned from Sunshine are keeping their wallets at bay this time around.

doubt that it's possible that even the original game wouldnt be playable. IF this is true, however, im sure there will be a way around it.

Edit to add: sunshine was great IMO (can't imagine feeling "burned" by it as it provided a couple weeks of great gaming for me) - a little too much collecting blue coins. i hope SMG is more linear.

Yeah ignore, it was a hoax.

I loved Sunshine, but didn't like collecting blue coins. I just don't see how someone could find them all without a guide, or why they would even want to.

Super Mario Sunshine is the only Super Mario title I don't own. I was never impressed with anything I read/saw about it, before it was released. Then, I read the impressions from people who played it, and wasn't convinced. I eventually rented it, played it for a while, and just didn't get into it. It didn't have the feel of a Super Mario title.

With Super Mario Galaxy, I already have the feel of it being a true Super Mario title, and I haven't even touched the game. I just have this feeling, and it has me very excited. In fact, Super Mario Sunshine is the only Super Mario title that never gave me that feeling. New Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo DS gave me that feeling, and it delivered. I just know that Super Mario Galaxy is going to deliver.

I love Super Mario Sunshine but I could never enjoy Mario 64. I know its controls were revolutionary for its time, but for its time I could have played platform-perfection with the tightest-controls in Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island. Mario 64 felt like every surface was polished ice and Mario had oiled slicked shoes, it's just a nightmare to control the little guy in that game (in my opinion).

Not at all.

The first two, to me, were average.

Never understood what the big hype was about the previous Smash Bros. games. I'm going to give this one a shot.

When does this come out? Is it one of those games where you see a screen, but won't get it for two more years? If not, I'm interested.

Hasn't this already been released on another system?

Shining example of this being a gimmick system. No thanks.

Again, already released on another system.

Never heard of it.

Another gimmick game. Boring.

The VC has been a disappointment for me so far, simply because most of the games I want haven't been released (and might not ever be). Don't know what the "Wii Ware" channel is.

It's a minigame collection system, with the occasional good full-length game.

Anyway, I don't want to derail the thread, so if you have a response, feel free to post it in the One Year Later thread and I'll reply there.

GoNintendo.com has posted information on new screens, with the link to view them.

I loathe 3-D but, i bought my wii for this game last jan. i'll rent it to see how much i really like it, but, will prolly keep on playin super paper mario instead...i even hated n64 b/c of how 3-d it was back in the day :(

Ok, I may finally be on board with this game. I went to Gamestop and the guy on duty and I were checking SMG on the display Wii and it looked fun.

Seconded. My least favorite of all Mario titles.
