Yeah I know it hasn't came out yet but, so what. I'm getting this game the day it comes out! I think it will be great, flying through space, having new moves, and it's on Wii. I herd (read) that this game will be two player, but not versing each other you get to be two player on the actually game. I think it's two player because the actions are pretty hard. Also people (the people making the game) said this game will be everything Super Mario Sunshine wasn't. :D

It looks pretty average at the moment, where will you get the stars from? Does it have stages like sunshine and mario 64?

I really really wish it wasn't set in space :(

The trailers made it look like the whole game was one single stage where there are some bigger planets who have challenges which earns you stars. But I think it's likely that you can't just go anywhere you like from the beginning but that you need certain amounts of stars to unlock stages or new parts of Mario's Galaxy. I do hope that the unlocked stages are a part of one big space though.

Plus I read some rumours about really big planets on which you really won't realize that they are objects in space but rather just levels/seperate stages. I hope that that's true, but I kinda doubt it...

It looks retty average at the moment, where will you get the stars from? Does it have stages like sunshine and mario 64?

I really really wish it wasn't set in space :(

Yeah, I never got excited about it being in space. Don't know why.

Yeah, I never got excited about it being in space. Don't know why.I've never liked space levels in games, and I hate things with space themes (except metroid of course)

The Kororinpa Outer Space levels were fun, and the Paper Mario 2 Moon stage was fun and Super Mario Galaxy will be a lot of fun (I hope/I think)

Well I'm not really into space ether but I think it wont really be a space type game. Because most space games have space ships and crazy guns, but I think this game will be some what like super mario sunshine. And yeah I hope you need to unlock stuff to go farther.

The space levels in chapter 4 of Super Paper Mario on the other hand are fun. 8)

Also people (the people making the game) said this game will be everything Super Mario Sunshine wasn't. :D
I'm in the minority, as I loved Sunshine to bits, thought it was an excellent game, but Mario 64 was dull. :?

So I'm hoping Galaxy is more like Sunshine, to be honest.

Mario 64 just had much better levels, they weren't as frustrating and the missions didn't take a year to do some of.

Also I hated the blue coins in Mario Sunshine, you could never tell how many you had in what courses so the 120 shines was virtually impossible without keeping a tally of them :?

I think it looks great. The graphics are good, the controls seem well thought out, and I like the space setting (ewww lols maro in spaec is gay lol).

Not to mention it's a Mario Platformer... :P

Well I thought Super Mario 64 was a bit to much on the easy side. But super mario sunshine made the levels hard and fun to go through. Yeah it gets frustrating but that's what makes you want to play again and again.

Wow, heresy aplenty here.
SM64 was a revolutionary game. Seeing it in motion for the first time back in '95 was a revelation, and it's as important now as it was then. Because the N64 didn't do particularly well in its generation, I think people forget the impact this had.

Sunshine was great, but to be honest it was essentially SM64 with water, bigger levels and a broken camera (and not enough Yoshi). Still fun, though, mind.

Galaxy has the potential to be what people forget Mario used to be: a redefinition of the accepted parameters of game design, not simply for platformers, but for 3D games in general. Or it could fall flat on its face. Either way, this is a monumental game, and I'm with the first post: I'll be at the store the day it comes out, and I'll make my own mind up.

Wow, heresy aplenty here.
lol... thought so.

I thought Mario 64 was boring, empty and easy. Sunshine was far more challenging, there was more to do, and it looked fantastic.

Obviously, without 64 we'd never have had the improvements in the sequel (it's the same game underneath after all), but anyway, Sunshine ftw! :wink:

:shock: Yeah, you don't hear that a lot! Mostly its the other way around, Mario 64 being more liked than Sunshine. I liked Sunshine for a while but it just to a point where I started to hate it.

[Whipes sweat off brow]

Glad to see common sense has prevailed :wink:

Well yeah there's a lot of parts in sunshine where you just hate the stinking game, but for some reson that made me love it even more!

I just thought this game might not be that good because there wouldnt be any talking because who are you going to talk to in space?

Yes there are the bigger planets outside of the space atmosphere. The Galaxy is just the HUB world. Go to Gametrailers.com and search "Super Mario Galaxy Developers Walkthrough" to see a a full stage that appears to not be set in space in any way, with blue skies, etc.

Sweet I just checked that it looks better than I thought.

Lookie we got a release date Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) - 16 November :super-mario:
Q4 Release Update (http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/en/GB/news/article.do?elementId=89jrftS1pVrPRFHXwoueNuR9T4bKC Nx_)

Yeah, that's if it doesn't get delayed, which is pretty likely...

16th November would be a nice date though. :cool:

Yes it definitely would. I'm happy for you guys(Europe). The wait for Metroid and even Super Paper Mario must be excruciating. I wouldn't wish that kind of pain upon anyone. Galaxy and Hourglass should put some fears to rest at the very least and somewhat make up for the tardiness of the other two. Here's hopin Smash Brothers won't be too far off for you either.

I'm extremely excited for this game and am looking forward to it more than Brawl. Mario Galaxy so far looks to be the true sequel to Mario 64 and even has returning items like the Fire Flower and Starman, plus the Bee Suit which reminds me a lot of SMB3. I may have to take a week off from work once this game gets released.

Here's a video of the "secret" cookie cutter level (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/97780.html?playlist=popular) from the demo disc.

I find it strange that Nintendo reps didn't want people to play it - only selectable by some sort of code. Why bother including it on the disc if you don't want to show it?

And shoemaker, just to sell you that it'll be a great game, here's the stats from the latest Nintendo Power.

There are 120 stars to collect over 40 different galaxies, including a desert, haunted house, honeybee kingdom, and a few set in space.
I'm assuming by these numbers that there will be 3 different objectives in each galaxy, just simple math.

So there won't be very many of those Space-esque "blah" galaxies.

Desert? Haunted House? Will these just be like normal Mario 64-like levels?
I've been looking forward to this game, but the Space theme really has been draining my anticipation. I'd be going mad with excitement right now if it wasn't set in Space.

So it would make a difference if they were simply spheres hanging in the sky instead? =P For me, the setting seems to work perfectly well. Just watching the videos of Mario going from right side up to upside down looks like a lot of fun. Bundle that with spheres of all shapes and sizes, some of which are so big they resemble classic setups (see bee and cookie cutter level videos) and different levels of gravity, it sounds like a sure winner to me.

I just read through the preview in the latest Nintendo Power issue (one of my three free ones) and the more I read/see about the game, the more I want it.

Hey hey hey I never ment the game will be bad. It's just I hope theres lots of storylines and people to talk to like in sunshine, I just can't see a bunch of talking in this game cuz who are you going to talk to aliens. ( that'd be sweet.) I'm looking forward to this game a lot, like even more than brawl. And I really want brawl. Mostly because I really need a good 1-player action game for wii. (even though galaxy is 2-player) So sorry for leading you in the wrong direction.

I personally hope there's not much talking/character interaction in this one. That stuff is fine for the Mario RPGs but it doesn't belong in the Mario platformers. Just Mario running and jumping on stuff in 3D is all I need.

Well I don't want crazy talking I mean like you have a choice or the random person you find in space to talk to.

This game should be sick!

And Luigi should be playable too I prefer using him.

Luigi in space would look weirder.

I thought only a few of the levels would be space themed and the rest like normal Mario??

I thought only a few of the levels would be space themed and the rest like normal Mario??

No I'm pretty sure every single place takes place in space. Just some of the planets are bigger than others. What I want to know is, will there be seperate parts of space as in levels? Will there be an "overworld" like Peach's castle in 64?

No I'm pretty sure every single place takes place in space.


Geez, how many times do I have to post this?

There are a few space levels, the Gateway Galaxy, and a few more. The large majority of levels will be classic Mario 64 styles. Have you seen any of the Screenshots of The Honeybee Kingdom, The Desert Galaxy, the Cookie Factory Galaxy, the Haunted House Galaxy, etc? None of these even have stars in the background. In an interview in Nintendo Power a developer said "we'll have planets of all sizes, and when one gets big enough, it essentially feels as though you're walking on flat ground."

that's cool it's seaming more real. US release date November 19 I think. No that's when the wii was released well sometime in November.

This game should be sick!

As long as it doesn't throw up on me. Silly expression.

that's cool it's seaming more real.

Yeah, being a galaxy-saving plumber, hopping around in space, sure is realistic.

Well that's not what I mean. funny though. Like have you seen any of the videos when he's on a small planet you can see he's walking around it. when it's bigger it seams more flat I think that's cool. Hey I just noticed this Mario has a HUGE nose, no an enormous nose.

Bumble Bee Mario FTW!

Sucks I have to wait all the way to November. I wish Phamtom hourglass would come out in October so it could make my wait less eritating.

It's-a 66 days togo(EU)

It's released world wide right, if so same for me.

It's released world wide right, if so same for me.

US gets it 4 days before EU.

57/61 days togo :D

Yeah!!!! and only 16 days until the legend of zelda phantom hourglass.

It's almost here. Finally a game where mario can show off his true skills, without some stupid water pump on his back.

Nice bump.

I just reserved my copy tonight! Lets start getting excited fellas its almost here!

Oh wow. New videos up on Gametrailers. I didn't want to learn too too much about the game before I played it but curiosity got the best of me. Here is my favorite....Huge spoiler of a new powerup so don't click if you want to wait till its release. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26584.html (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26584.html)

Lovin the music too...orgasm in my ear

Orgasm in your ear? Ewww! =P

I've stopped watching videos about SMG quite a while ago. That way I can be pleasantly surprised when I actually do get to play the game.

:lolo-spin:talking about being excited the shoemaker owes me my super mario sunshine k)

23/27 days togo. *me equips bee suit and makes buzzing sounds*

whose gonna buy super mario galaxy on the fisrt day

I will for sure :D

Oh come on, aren't you just a tad curious? Not even just a little bit? There isn't this nagging little voice in the back of your head saying, "Go ahead, click it"?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26584.html (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26584.html)

Mario wants you to see this. You wouldn't want to disappoint your faithful plumber who has provided you with 22 years of entertainement, do you?

Haha it worked! Way to scratch that itch.

New Powerup looks great, too. I can't wait for the first review on SMG, just to hear how it plays.

Am I the only one not planning to buy this game at all?

Not saying it's going to suck, but I feel this is rental material.

Blasphemy! And yes I think you're the only one. Are you feeling well?

This is going to be the SMB3 of 3d Marios.

Thing was, didn't really cared that much with SMB3, sure it was a good game, but not praising it as the best NES game. That goes toward Megaman 3.

Though, I did enjoyed Super Mario 64 far more. :)

I can almost agree with ya on Megaman 3. Although I put 2 before it MM3 definitely follows closely behind. And both of those games rival SMB3 for my best Nes game.

And have you seen the videos my friend? Galaxy looks like it plays just like SM64 minus the camera issue and double the innovation.

Blasphemy! And yes I think you're the only one. Are you feeling well?

We hope anyway :D I'm just hoping for something to equal Super Mario 64 and better Sunshine.

The only reason that SM64 camera had issues because they didn't have anything to based it off. :)

Oh and I watch any Galaxy video that Gametrailers get their grubby hands on.

Come again? Sorry didn't make sense to me, don't know if its you or me :). I thought it was just because of collision issues in the indoor environments.

Hmm, sorry, thought that might of been clear. Excuse me as I am not quite awake right at the moment. :D

Anyway, in short. This was the first game to have camera controls that SM64 had, and it's kind of hard to improve what has started. Someone could prove me wrong. :lolo2:

:lolo-spin:talking about being excited the shoemaker owes me my super mario sunshine k)

:p Oh I thought you forgot! And well I'm trying not to look at any videos. But I do look sometimes. But when anything that will spoil the story line comes up i close it right away.

Once again, it is a great thing to have a game shop across from work. Why? I got to play the SMG demo, which they got in just this afternoon, today. Looks great, sounds great, and controls great, too. ;) I was wondering how disorienting it would be to run around upside down and sideways, but it only took me about a minute to get used to it. I really like the way the "star bit economy" works. If you get multiples of fifty it'll give you a life, but quite frequently you will need them to fling at enemies to stun them. It sure looks like it's going to be quite a bit of fun. Only three more weeks! =)

sweet i`m gonna get smg on the first day.

I can't wait, it's the Wii game I bought the console for :)

The suits look awesome. I can't wait to try out the ice suit.

The suits look awesome. I can't wait to try out the ice suit.

Yeah that one in particular looks amazing, you can freeze water to make platforms with it on too:) And I'm happy the fire flower power up is finnaly on a 3D Mario game; looks more powerful as well.

O yea i got it preordered.

Lucky you. Must take real power to walk away from the demostation :P

Nope. It takes a store employee to tear the controllers out of my hand. =D

I'm going to the local game stores on Thursday in a search for the SMG Demo.....I have to play it!

Nope. It takes a store employee to tear the controllers out of my hand. =D

Hehe, try take some of the duckttape from the console and tape it to your hands.

Haha, has anyone else noticed the Jethro Tull advertisements on a few of the threads where Tull has posted? Originally I was confused as to why they would advertise music on a gaming website, especially something as random as Jethro Tull (heeeey aqualung! anyone? no?).

This will change it i think smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley :)

Played the demo tonight when I was picking up Mercury Meltdown. Man im in love already. Although it was kinda of disappointing because the tv at my gamestop wasnt displaying it correctly and it looked like ****. So I didn't really get the full experience but it was still amazing. It controls like a dream and even though the aformentioned tv issue was annoying I could tell it still looked great. Most importantly it was fun as hell. I played it for almost an hour and didn't even realize it until my girlfriend called and was asking where the hell I was (I told her I was stopping in at gamestop before I got to her house and would only be a few min extra :).)

They let you play for an hour? Lucky son of gun. =P

ONM gave SMG 97%... well that was expected really considerring they're the UK's Official Nintendo mag.

They let you play for an hour? Lucky son of gun. =P

Yup no one stopped me :). They either didn't know there are supposed to stop me after ten minutes or they just didn't care. I've been debating on whether or not to go back and play more but I really don't want to spoil the first few hours of the game for myself. I even tried to bribe the naive girl that was workin there into selling the "demo" to me,fully knowing that its the entire game. Unfortunately she didn't bite.

My friend told me he's off to the mall on a job hunt later on, he said I can come with if I wanted. Hopefully one of the three Gamestops in the mall will have the Galaxy demo out, and also not a pack of Asians waiting to play it.

I actually don't want to play it until the glorious release date :)

I actually don't want to play it until the glorious release date :)
I don't understand why people do that. It's like if someone offered you a free sample of chicken nuggets while you're on line to buy the same chicken nuggets. You take the fecking chicken.

What the hell am I even talking about.

I would play it if I could. My local EBgames and Gamestops always have the demo machines turned off and are jerks if you ask them to turn them on....but that is why I don't buy anything from them.

It's just when I buy Galaxy I would like to have seen as little as possible. I want the gameplay to be all new when I get it.

I don't know what you're talking about, do you just really like chicken or what?

Thought you get more hungry then.

12/16 days togo.

Just got back from Gamestop while I was on my break from work. Started playin it again and man....I won't go into details but I love this game already. Anyone else been trying to play the demo as much as I have? I've played all the way up to what I have seen from videos and refuse to play any further, so I've been playing the same hour and a half of gameplay over and over. And yet, it still hasn't gotten old. I'm sure I'll do it again once or twice before its release as well. Believe me when I say this, as I am a hard person to truly impress when it comes to games, this may be one of the best mario games I have ever played.

Sounds amazing, I can't wait for the 16th. For once we don't have to wait months after the US :D Only 4 days :)

so... I have a problem, This or Metroid Prime 3?

I canceled my reservation for Metroid Prime 3 and get Galaxy instead.
I'm gonna buy MP3C later.
Really, there's Endless Ocean released tomorrow,
and Link's Crossbow Training coming this month too, so MP3C has to wait until next month.

There is no way I would get Endless Ocean or Link's Crossbow Training over Metroid Prime 3.

However, if you can only pick one of the two (Mario or Metroid), I don't think you could go wrong with either so it's more of a matter of which game would you rather play now rather then later. In the US we were lucky because we got Metroid earlier and it helped that there is a bigger window between the two.

Yeah, MP3C is most likely the better game.
But I have MP1, MP2 and MPH, so Endless Ocean and Link's Crossbow Training is something new for me. And I'm in for something new right now.

well, theres a few wii games i want right now, but i'm gonna wait till after the xmas time to get some of them, I'm buying my gf a Lumix fx 33 camera, and some other pressies so, my gaming needs go on hold, but i am plaining ot get MP tomorrow, yay!

I'm glad to hear that most of you are buying Endless ocean.

Mario Galaxy
zelda:phantom hourglass
Endless ocean
Resident Evil: UC
Link's crossbow training
Mario and sonic
Wii Fit
Smash brawl
Rayman: raving rabbits 2

Are the games i want, i plan to pick a few up before cmas.(I know most aren't out yet,or before xmas) and then theres a 360 with some games i wanna get, Eternal Sonata looks awesome.

so... I have a problem, This or Metroid Prime 3?


As good as MP3 is, and believe me it is amazing, Galaxy, I believe, is the better title. I've played through MP3 almost twice now and only played about two hours or so of Galaxy and my claim still stands. MP3 would make a great Christmas present though!

MP3 would make a great Christmas present though!

And thats what I have to wait for, I only have enough for one of the two at the mo :(

What is the aim of Endless Ocean? I cant find it anywhere. I saw a vid on gametrailers where it shows how you can communicate with each other online - use the d-pad on the remote to flick between pre-made messages, or draw a message on the screen with the remote using it like a pencil - similar to what you can do on zack and wiki when you have 2 remotes.

But like I said, I dont see what the aim of the game is.

Also on Link's Crossbow training, are you European? the game doesnt come out untill December 7th over here :mad:

Heres a little on Endless Ocean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_Ocean

I played the Galaxy demo today for about 15 minutes, it was pretty boss.

Just 10 more days. I've figured out how to get the money for the game. I lost all of my game boy games and DS games, But My aunt just found them!:):):) Thats about $400 worth of games so I'm quite happy. and at a store called EB games, there's a deal where you can trade in three games and get ether Mario galaxy metroid prime 3 or smash bros brawl. So I'm gonna trade in Yoshi touch and go Yoshi Topsy turvy and Mario party advance and get Mario galaxy. At first I was gonna get Metroid but I was to young to trade games so I left all of my games at my aunts and four months later I get the games back:D Whitch means I finally have something to look forward to because now I can get Mario Galaxy the day it comes out!

Are you sure you can trade in 3 gameboy/DS titles in for a Wii title? Usually EB's deals consist of trading in 2-3 games for the same system to get a new game for the that same system. I'm 90% sure about this, as I usually trade my games in to get new games. If I'm wrong, please let me know because I have a ton of PS2 games that I could trade in.

Hi, as many of you know I really don't want this game as I don't like 3D Mario games.

But... GAME have a good offer on for when you trade in one of five games, you get it and Olympics cheap. So I was contemplating it for my kid bro and myself.

Basically I'm here to ask a favour.

When you guys in the U.S get it. Is there any chance that someone who doesn't class themselves as biased towards Ninty or Mario. Could PM me or post here. Telling me approximately how long the game is. How hard the game is. If the game seems replayable enough to... *spoiler White text finishes this sentence* play through it again With Luigi. And what the camera is like.

Because I cannot stand the camera on SM 64 yet everyone raves about it. Which is odd because Ninja Gaiden on the X-BOX got slagged off for its camera and it's one of the best camera systems ever.

Full 360 movement with centering buttons and it never gets stuck. What's not to like?

I'd be more than happy to if you trust my judgement. Even though I love SM64 I'll give you an unbiased opinion of it as much as I can. Here is a question though, who the hell raves about the camera in SM64? Its the only thing that holds that game back in my opinion although its excusable because it was the first of its kind.

I've played through 6 stars of SMG and I can tell you there is a vast improvement. There are some instances where the game lets you have complete control of the camera just like in SM64. Only this time there are zero collision issues thanks in part to the spherical layout of alot of the levels. When full control isn't available SMG employs a "smart" camera system where it seems to always know where the camera should be pointed based on your given situation and surroundings. It seems to be pretty advanced as I haven't had a single issue through the two hours of play I've experienced. Also I have read about 5 reviews for the game who said they never once had a problem with the camera throughout the entire game. So expect a huge difference. I'll PM you with more info when I actually get the game next monday...I hope (but hopefully not tuesday).

SM64's camera isn't necessarily raved about, it's just said to be the first camera system in a game.

I've read the spoilers, this game will be the best ever :D

I've read the spoilers, this game will be the best ever :D

Yea I already know it too. OH well, its not game breaking or anything but I'm happy to hear about it cause its making me more pumped for this game than ever before. Although I've had to stop myself with watching all these videos on gametrailers. That was starting to get out of hand.

However its not nearly as bad as to how I spoiled myself for Mario 64. I was 11 or 12 at the time and I remember getting a special Mario 64 issue of GamePro that detailed like all of the ways to get each star before the game had even come out. It was impossible to look away because seeing screenshots of Mario 64 for the first time was probably like seeing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for the first time.I read like half of them before I realized that this would probably taint my experience of the game. Luckily the game was so incredible it didn't matter how much I read cause I immediately forgot about it once I was running around in 3D heaven for the first time. Although the challenge of the first few worlds was substantially cut in half. So for Galaxy even though I've seen more than a few videos, it only adds up to maybe 20 minutes of gameplay. Plus I've already played most of what I have seen at Gamestop. I've played 5 out of the 120 stars so I'm pretty sure my fresh experience is still preserved.

Yeah, I do trust your opinion, so I'd be very appreciative :)

It's sounding good with the camera, but lifespan and challenge are still big factors. But obviously it'll take you a while to find those out.

Any chance of the links to the reviews?

'cause I've been waiting to see if they mention things like that too. But IGN haven't done one yet.

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/915692.asp It's been reviewed by nine sites and still retains a 97% average http://wii.ign.com/articles/832/832465p1.html The above is a podcast done by IGN last Friday where they go into fairly good detail about Galaxy. They said they are 60 stars in and the challenge is ramping up. When I played for the first 5 or 6 stars it was no easier than Mario 64's first set of stars. I've also heard many people talk about an adequate challenge later on in the game. The guy who talks in the podcast who will be reviewing the game has alot to say about it so check it out. He also mentions a few thing on the challenge which gets me even more excited for this game because its good news.

It certainly does seem that the game has been very well received so far. Next week can't come soon enough.

After going over several reviews and commentaries of the game, I had to dig up this orchestral semi-"making of" video (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26599.html). It's without a doubt one of the few scores for a game I would categorize as spectacular. I hope there is a way to access music tracks from the main menu, as a reward or otherwise.

I'm going to try to resist reading any reviews of this game, with a big game like this I don't want to know what's in it, I want it all to be a complete surprise when I get it.

I'm blocked at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::ma d:
......but the admin people can shop for clothing all day!

Tried an EB Games store over lunch. They had the demo Wii turned off so I asked the guy working if they had the SMG demo and he told me that they did but their nunchuck and wiimote were not working........so we played guitar hero on the 360 for a half hour.

I was a little mad becaue I was kind of hoping on trying it before next week. Oh well, I guess I'll try it when I bring it home.

After reading like 10 reviews I think its safe to say Mario Galaxy will be blowing our nostalgic socks off. Its release is only days away and in honor of all good things Mario I present to you this video I recently discovered. Many of you may have seen it before but for those who haven't I hope this gets you excited for a new Mario as much as it did for me. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neAiLZcy8Qk

The Mario play is better. Some colledge kids done a fake level of Mario Bros.. It was brill. Music guy was dodgy, but the thing was mint.

On Wii, can't link it, but it's the "Mario Brothers Skit For The Gorden Colledge Talent Show"

Enjoy 8)

I'm going to try to resist reading any reviews of this game, with a big game like this I don't want to know what's in it, I want it all to be a complete surprise when I get it.

Hence why I hate the SSBB daily update, because loads of people post them all over and it really annoys me.

By the time it comes out no one will enjoy playing it. It's like going to see a film for the first time, having had someone read you the script.

And Darth turned to Luke and said "No, Obi Wan killed uour father". That was the original line, George changed it on the day of shooting it.

Hamil's "NOOOOOOO!" was actually to that. Because he didn't tell him or Prowse. So Prowse read the above. Then of course James' voice was dubbed over it saying the now infamous line of "..." like I'm gonna spoil it for the kids who've never seen it :rolleyes:

Saw that on a SW docu and was gobsmacked.

that's why I'm trying my hardest not to look at the daily website. but when i do i never look at videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFc8EFUm8kQ

Here is what Demon was talking about. Haha just got back from a nice little night of slammin some drinks and that put a huge smile on my face. Must have taken a while to choreograph something like that. Mario got a little tired by the end of it though.

I still find the piano man more impressive however. He does other video game renditions as well. www.theblindfoldedpianist.com (http://www.theblindfoldedpianist.com)

Check him out. Well designed site and chock full of talent when it comes to the piano. I'm partial to the Sonic tracks.

Has anyone seen the side-scrolling levels in Galaxy? They look like great fun :D

I just watched that video and whoa, that guy rules at the piano! Everything sounded so clear and crisp when he was playing.

I just got a good laugh out of the tomorrow's Gamestop pre-order pickup notice, which was announced by none other than (a recorded message by) Charles Martinet. Sillyness.

Too bad I can't pick up the game until Tuesday, seeing how I'm working somewhat late tomorrow, which won't leave me enough time to ferry out to the store and back home.

I feel so bad for watching a video review of Mario Galaxy now. They spoiled the fact that there is a (...) and a (...) which looks so awesome I can't even put it into words! And that (...) didn't look too hard but looked really fun!

I think I know them.

But having watched 3 reviews now, there's so many things that those 3 could be. PM me them :)

Well, it's past 5 am, and my Wii has lit up.

It was to advertise that Mii channel. Anyone bother to DL this gimmicky waste of time? (Time that should be spent making games! :x Well, time Ninty should spend... :lol:)

No, I'll have to wait to later to download it. It looks terrible anyway it's not too much to think of a useful channel, is it?

Yup.

Well, GAME told me that I pre-ordered in time to qualify for there "1st To Play Pre-order" service. So I should have it on Thursday. So VC won't matter this week. So Elevator, Kage and NES U.S Football will hit :)

Getting a tooth out on Wed, so it'll be something to look forward to :)

So, Super Mario Galaxy.

Been playing it for about two hours now. It is really, really, really awesome. Like, it makes you go "Oh crap! This is awesome!" about every thirty seconds.

Also, the music is fantastic.

Just got it today after work. It's taking me a little bit to adjust to running around the planets but so far it's awesome. Now back to playing.

Just got it today after work. It's taking me a little bit to adjust to running around the planets but so far it's awesome. Now back to playing.

I'm glad you said that, because this is something I've been meaning to mention for a while now.

Why is it called "Galaxies"?

All the footage I've saw from all the reviews I've watched, they say that you have "Solar Systems" that lead to "Galaxies" (According to the correct terminology of the game itself). But in actual fact, you have "Solar Systems'" leading to "Planets".

You can't have Solar Systems leading to Galaxies. It doesn't work like that. Galaxies lead to Solar Systems and Solar Systems in turn lead to Planets.

The, uh, astronomy of the game isn't intended to reflect real life.

A "galaxy" is, for the purposes of this game, what a painting was in Super Mario 64. It's a level, and you'll return to it a few times to perform various tasks and collect golden stars. I'm still at the beginning of the game - I'm taking it slow because there's so much to see - but the first galaxy consists of many small asteroid-size planets that you can travel to via launch stars, and the second is one larger main level with some small asteroid-sized ones hanging off of it.

A few different "galaxies" form a "solar system," and you access each system from a door in the observatory starship, which is essentially the hub world that the castle was in Mario 64. So far I've only seen the first system, but it seems that you have to visit a certain galaxy within that system first, and once you acquire so many stars you can access the next, and then the next, etc.

Hope this doesn't spoil much but I'll explain the best I can how the galaxy system works.

Well, for starters, it's sort of like Mario 64s paintings. The paintings would be the galaxy in this game. Each unique in their own way and each containing X amount of stars and planetoid masses for Mario to run around on. Before you get to the individual galaxy though, you see a map screen that shows all the different galaxies in that particular section of space and how many stars it will take to unlock the other galaxies (sort of like the stars on the doors to the painting rooms in 64.) I wouldn't call these areas solar systems though. It's more like a region of space with several galaxies in each region.

Demon, I also remember you being concerned about the difficulty. I consider myself somewhat of a hardcore gamer and I've died several times by either falling into a black hole or just getting killed by Goombas. Mario only can take 3 hits before he dies unlike previous games where it seemed losing a life was impossible. I'm sure as the game progresses the challenge will pick up as well, which I look forward too. I think most reviews stated that you can get the required number of stars to beat the game fairly easily but completing the game with all the stars takes dedication and skill. So far, I could see that being the case. It's a game I think both the casual and hardcore crowd can play, enjoy and appreciate for different reasons.

Super Mario Solar System sounds dumb. Super Mario Planets was taken already by Super Mario World. And if it wasn't Super Mario Galaxy there would be no U R MR GAY jokes.

I knew it'd do that -_-

And BTW, before anyone rips it out of me for not knowing that, up until a week ago, I had no interest in SMG. Because the questions I had, couldn't be answered, until now.

I agree about the difficulty. It's not the hardest game by far but I also died a couple times already.....the same ways.

Shame on you for having no faith DEMON :rolleyes:

This is Ninty. Makers of Starfox Assault, Adventures and Command (Although I liked C). Sunshine. Mario Parties 1-8. And many more recent stinkers. NGC killed my faith in them. DS somewhat restored it. But a year of crap for Wii has killed it again. I hope that this is the turning point :)

BTW, it's gonna take a while getting used to that new Av. Saw hippiecrite and thought it was you again :lol:

Could be worse though, antster's, has been done 8 times, not including him.

I'll just have to remember that you're DKC 2 now :)

I would tell you that this is THE GAME for the Wii but you're really tough on games. You'll have to play if for yourself.

I always just say GC....but hey, you're the over critical one, not me. I guess you have to add Nintendo in front of Gamecube because we don't want people to get it confused with the Sony Gamecube, Microsoft Gamecube, and the Sega Gamecube.:p

I can vouch for this. I'm about 25 stars in and the difficulty is no easier than when I played SM64 for the first time. Theres something to be said of a difference between a game being challenging and frustrating. Sure there are some cookie cutter stars but SM64 had those too. Even the easiest of challenges are still rewarding because this game just makes it so fun to do it. But I can see the challenge significantly increasing as I go along. I can get 120 stars in a matter of hours in SM64 and I have died a fair share of times in Galaxy. So there is definitely an appropriate challenge level here. Besides even if something is a little easy here and there the game is always engaging and just a blast to play.

Nope. I beat most of them. Games are getting easier. Vania 1 is nightmarishly hard. On last level and can't beat the first section. Wheras TP, I didn't die. WW I died a few times, but it was to short and to easy. Sidequests stunk too. Starfox Adventures just lacks something. It just doesn't grip you. Assault, the walking was terrible and the flying had been changed. Pikmin 2, inf time. It killed the game for me. Sunshine, short and easy. Repetitive and stupid (F.L.U.D.D and Yoshi fruit need + alergin to Water). Jungle Beat was gimmicky crap. My head's pounding, I'm really struggling trying to think of games for it, help.

Excitetruck = Crash To Win. Rabbids was great, so was Wario. But both were pathetically short and had no replayabillity (Usually I would play a Wario for months. And this, I didn't even get all the games). But Rabbids wasn't Ninty, so no idea why I added that.

I just prefer it. Same with the SNES. SES sounds stupid ;p

Gonna go now, head's really bad. Painkillers and balms haven't touched it :cry: :cry: :cry:

So for you to like a game, you must die in it more then 3 times?
You're the one person on this forum that I can't figure out why you even waist your time with this forum or video games.:mad:
I think Wario and Rabbids were meant to be played with friends.

So I managed to snag the first nine stars last night. Pretty fun so far.

Well there is a reason why I never come here. The Metroid post was the first time I'd posted here since it was open. Then I spotted this post and realised that it was out soon, so someone might be able to help me.

And it's not new games that I dislike. It's new Ninty games. X-BOX, 360, PS2 and PS3 all have some truly amazing games for them, and they're new. NGC just had nothing. I think I liked 4 first party titles. SSBM, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin and... The OOT bonus disc :lol:

Dying doesn't make a game good. But not dying doesn't make it good either. Would you honestly prefer to be able to go through every game without ever failing a section?

Because if that were the case, then what would be the point in buying it?

I like to be challenged by a game. I like to be made to think or be made to alter my tactics or something, that makes me stop and think "Running forward pushing attack really isn't working here".

It's why I dislike Heaveny Sword. Because you can beat the game by just running around pushing Square.

Ninja Gaiden however. You have to use some tactics to your attacks. You have to block and dodge everything. You have to use Ninpo's wisely. You have to upgrade your kit and use your side arms carefully.

Twilight, I just ran around waving my arms and I managed to beat the game.

Ninty just don't do it for me anymore. It's a shame, because I play the likes of OOT and ALTTP, Bros. 3 and World, and then I play Sunshine and WW and it's like "Where did it all go so wrong?". It boggles the mind.

And the best thing about old games is, that different levels can be challenging at different times. I usually breeze through W6's ship, but I've just died about 10 times trying to beat it. Then W7-1 where I always die alot, I've just done it in 3. And as Small Mario.

Because I love playing games. I've always been a die hard gamer, and I probably always will be.

I guess Luigi's Mansion was a lot better game then all of the games you bashed:roll:

I don't recall losing once in Luigi's Mansion and the puzzles were very easy.

I leave you with one word to think about: Consistency

Now I'm done......................

Sunshine, short and easy.
You did beat all the secret levels too right.

Under 2 days ! :D

Less than 2 days to go! :D I pre-ordered it today in GAME just to be safe and guarantee myself a copy on Friday, in GAME you get double reward points if you pre-order anyway...

I really want this game I hope I get it for Christmas.

I understand. Nintendo is making a lot of easy games now. Their trying to make games for everyone, but everyone includes us hardcore gamers. they mostly focus on makeing games 5 year olds can understand, but that's not good for us because then they make them too easy or to kiddy and playful. But once and a while Nintendo dose make a game that is good for everyone. One of them is Galaxy. it's meant for all. it's easy at first and you can beat the game without getting all of the stars (so Nintendo says) and its a challenge for the people who are trying to get all stars, and it's not too kiddy and not too playful ( I think because i still haven't played it). and yes twilight princess was really easy. I never died all of the special moves you get you barely use, and the puzzles weren't to challenging. But still I loved it. sometimes it doesn't matter if the game is too easy, it's how it's made and how cool it is. twilight princess has really good music well made dungeons and nice new graphics. and the story is really good.Plus I loved it when link put his sword (I don't know if i spelled it write.) away all cool. Same with wind waker. Honestly wind waker may be my favorite Zelda because i love sailing on water and finding treasure. but Phantom Hourglass I love. It has a nice story funny and a well made controlling system. But it's being a little short and a little easy. sunshine was not an easy game. unless you went for all the cheep stars (shinesprites) it's not easy. have you gotten all of the shinesprites? But ANYWAYS what I'm trying to say is a game being easy isn't all bad unless it completely sucked. But being a challenge is a good thing to have. Because all games to me seam to be getting easier and easier. And I think just maybe Nintendo is starting to get that. Oh and I meant to quote DEMON212

LM was a launch game, it was fresh and new so I enjoyed it alot. I tryed to play through it again a couple weeks back and wasn't enjoying it anywhere near as much as when I first got it.

Consitency. Maybe you should be telling Ninty that word.

Metroid's the only Ninty series (I think) where they haven't made a stinker. Sure the controls sucked something rotten in Prime's 1 and 2, but you could persist through them because of the games greatness. Unfortunatly though, 2 did finish me.

Ratchet And Clank has consistency. KOTOR has consistency. As much as I hate Halo, it has consistency. It gives the fans what they want. It gives the fans what they love about the game. But rather than doing a million sequels so that the game gets boring. They kill it off and start again with something else.

Quite frankly, if Sony do another RAC then IMO they'd be mad. Because people will start to get sick of it.

Ah, just thought of another series. SSB. So far they've yet to kill SSB, although they're trying. I cannot stand this Snake and other non Ninty characters thing. What's next? The MC? Gordon Freeman? Dante? Marcus Phoenix? Cloud and Sepiroth?

But, it might work. Although I personally think they'd be mad to do more than 4 SSB's. But knowing Ninty, SSB will have about another 10.

The thing I love most about the whole Ninty argument is this. "Oh, so you don't want games to ever change? Ninty are changing games with the Wii, they're giving games a new life". Exactly what part of Galaxy is fresh?

For the third time you have to collect 120 things. For the 700th time Mario has to rescue the Princess. For the 700th time Bowser will think he's unbeatable.

What the hell is new and fresh about that? Other than waggling your pad, nothing much. Gravity has been done before. Planets has been done before.

And yes, I am now looking forward to it and I hope it arrives tomorrow. But come on. "Ninty are changing the way we play games" How?

Every Wii game is played in a VERY similar fashion. And all of Ninty's first party titles will not only be controlled in the same manner, but they'll feature the same damned faces we've seen a million times before.

Real fresh :rolleyes:

Guess I've just shot down my own consistency arguement there :lol:

But I mean in gameplay terms. They're just making things too damn easy and similar, compared to what they used to be. And people are slowly getting sick of it. I think the NGC kinda proved that.

Under 2 days ! :D

I needed 11 Blue Coins for total 120 Shines completion, and then I just got bored with collecting them. It didn't help that (I think it was Deus Ex) a great game came out and I was on it solid for ages. And by the time I got back to Sunshine, I couldn't remember where the coins I needed were.

Unfortunatly though, I didn't like the reworked OOT music. I didn't like the story. I didn't like the new art style. And I didn't like the overly simplistic gameplay. Nothing about it was particularly fun. IMO.

WW I hated the sailing, I actually had ALTTP in Sleep mode all the time I was playing WW. Because as soon as I had to sail, I'd just set it in the direction and bung the GBA one. I got ALTTP 2 days before WW and I beat it through WW. The treasure hunting was pathetic "Oh, go hunt for 8 triforce pieces" why not "Go and do 8 dungeons for 8 triforce pieces"? And again, I hated the story and the music. But the art was mint.

Wow, long post.

BTW I'm not having a go at anyone here. Just clarifying that :)

Haha okay first of all, longest post ever. Now Demon I'll reserve my judgement for now on a few things you've said because I don't have alot of time at the moment. I agree on a few things and strongly disagree on a few others. I'll toss in my copper later. But I do want you to reconsider your perspective of Galaxy and freshness. Sure all those things have been done before but definitely not to this degree. Its different I just can't explain it. And for someone who hasn't played the game you really can't make that call at the moment. This is one of the most refreshing gaming experiences I've had in a long long time. Last generation seriously bored me. This generation was starting to do the same until now. This game is setting the bar for the Wii and Nintendo itself. Once you see the level design in this game youre going to be screaming FRESH.

Unfortunatly I've worded it very badly. I'm having one of those cases where I know exactly what I mean, but wording it coherently is a different matter.

I mean in general, the Wii isn't offereing anything particularly new anymore. It's always the same old same old now. Even the reviewers are starting to get sick of waggling on every game. Several times I've seen the ports described as "It's the same PS2 game you had last year, but now with added waggle".

I know though, long post. I've tryed shortening it. I have edited it because I had repeated myself without realising it. So believe it or not, but it was longer :lol:

I'm just sick of always hearing that Ninty are doing all these special things, and they're, well, they're not.

10 years ago, yeah, they were breaking boundries. But since then, it's been a slow steady decline. Whilst people like Bethesda, Bioware, Insomniac and many others have been coming up with fresh new games.

Unfortunatly, Ninty are now catering to a different audience. It's clear that they're trying to cater for both. But so far, they're just not managing it. I know I've yet to play Galaxy. But everything so far, has been simpled down for a non gamer.

I think, well, I hope, that they one day will find a way to cater to both. But it's clear that it's taking a while for them to do so.

Personally, I think they should start releasing 2 versions of every game. A casual version and a hardcore version :lol:

Would it not be easier to add Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardcore difficulties to EVERY game?

I've edited my post so that I can correct spelling and just bung it all in one. Again, may contain spoilers!!!

I say may, because it depends on what you class as a spoiler. I've heard some basic stuff that had people going mental on the poster for not warning them.

Anyway...

This is basically everything that I can remember, that I've felt about the game so far.

Wasn't really dissorientated at the start, but getting used to what did have gravity and what didn't took a while. Dove into black holes many a time at the beggining. Still do to be fair and honest, lol.

The camera is the best in a 3D Mario, but it's still not perfect. It can be dicky/dickie at times.

The music is fantastic, even on our crap sounding T.V (Soon to be repaired hopefully).

The graphics are alright. Great for Wii, but nothing compared to Heavenly Sword, Bioshock, etc... Some set pieces do look fantastic though.
Some parts however, look soooo hard, but then just aren't. Which is dissapointing. Quite dissapointing. I haven't been majorly challenged, but I have been challenged at times. I can see it getting harder after the first 60 though, because it has been getting harder (at times) as I've gone on. so no complaints about dificulty... Yet *twisted evil smiley*

Having so many Galaxies/Levels is actually making me want to play it non stop (Although I have had to stop from time to time. Was shattered at one point, so I tryed to wake myself up a bit before continueing).

I'm really enjoying playing it and I'm wanting to play it as much, because it's not getting boring! You barely have to replay the levels.

The maximum amount of Stars per Planet is 5. And even when you are replaying them for other Stars, they're totally different. Sometimes the only similarity is your starting point. And I say sometimes, because othertiimes nothing is alike.

I'm a little dissapointed at the checkpoints. Sure it makes it less irritating, but it also makes it easier. SM 64 made you start again. And while in 64 it was a pain. Galaxy, the levels are about the right size to have that punishment IMO.

The gameplay is amazing at the moment. Really enjoying it. REALLY! Enjoying it.

The time trial comets though... suck. I've had 2 of them now and I've had over a minute of time left on both.
The speed up enemies comet. Well, on the level I've had it on, it actually made it easier.
The dare devil comets (The 1 hit and you're dead ones) though... Nice *cool smiley* I've yet to have a race shadow Mario comet.
I'm a little dissapointed at the motion controls on the Manta Ray. Considering how sensitive Wario Ware was, I was expecting better. The Ball is alright, but the Manta is a lil sluggish IMO.

The co-op mode... Is so bloody ANNOYING! Because it IS so bloody ANNOYING! To have a Yellow star waving infront of you all of the damn time. And while my lil bro did save me once or twice, he totally screwed me over on a Bullet Bill puzzle section *mad smiley*

Speaking of which, the first true boss. Is so pathetically easy. I accidentally cheated my way to a win. I won't say how, but I will say that there's a much easier way to do him in. I really wasn't trying to do what I done though, not at all. I was trying to do it right and... Poof.

The game is slowly getting more challenging though, which is good.

At 40 stars now, fully completed the first 3 "Solar Systems" (-_-) now. Taking a break for now, letting Panda do some Duty while I come here.

Oh, anyone not believing that I'm at 40 after 6 hours and 50 mins...

Add me and I'll send you a screenshot *cool smiley*

No idea if it tells you the time though *lol smiley*

The way I have been playing Galaxy reminds me of how I played 64. I remember having fun just moving around with Mario on the 64...swimming, running, jumping, ex. I find myself doing kind of the same thing on Galaxy. Not performing jumps, or running, or swimming but exploring the physics of space. I've owned the game since Monday night and I only have 3 stars to show for it. Its because I find myself just moving around and looking at everything. I love jumping off of planets to see what happens. Do I fall into a black hole, does Mario jump higher, or does gravity pull Mario back onto the planet...or does Mario land on the other side of the planet?

Simply put......I'm having fun and I can't wait until I get home late tonight to play it again.

I'm getting this tomorrow, Should be GREAT!

I got the PAL version today... Quite a nice game, and one day earlier than expected. :P

Also, I can't believe this game is cheaper than, say, Super Mario World back when it was released.


EDIT: By the way, it updates the firmware yet again, even if you had updated it with Metroid Prime 3. No idea what the changes are, though.

Would it not be easier to add Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardcore difficulties to EVERY game?

Yup, it really would be. Better too.

In regrads to the difficulty: There are times when I finished a platforming sequence and thought to myself, man I wish that was just a little bit more challenging. And then there are the Luigi assisted stars. Cute idea for the beginners but they really bugged me. Hmmmm look at this picture and see if you can figure out where Luigi is? Kind of defeats the purpose when you show everything around where Luigi is too. But there are only like 3 of these so its defiinitely forgivable. However, when I wasn't being as challenged as I would have liked ( which doesn't even really happen too often) the game never seems dull because of it. When it happens the main thing that I think of and really forgives it in the first place is that its still just so much fun to play. I can say with no ego that I'm a fairly seasoned SM64 player and I have died more than just a handful of times.

Demon: how many of the speed up comets have you played? I imagine they get more demanding on the harder levels. I only played one or two of the speed up comets and I too had like a minute leftover on each. Hope that changes.

One thing I would like to mention is that the Purple Coin challenges are more than just filler stars and they certainly surpass the feeling of being a chore (like the 100 coin stars in SM64). There are some design changes in each level and they really make you explore and utilize all that the level has to offer. It makes you use more demanding techniques as well. The perfectly timed triple jump and Backflip + Spin are essential to getting some of these coins.

Possible Minor Spoiler: For example in Beehive Galaxy things get much harder right off the bat. For one there is no more Bee suit to use. Some things that assist you in getting to hard to reach areas are removed, such as the flagpole. So its a challenge just to figure out how to get to some places that were previously easily accessible in the regular form of the Galaxy. The coins are also laid out in a very clever fashion. At the highest part of the level there was a ledge about the width of Mario himself that had two coins resting there. It was too dangerous to Triple Jump cause the ledge was too thin for error. So I had to put my back agaisnt it and backflip and then spin right after. Took me a couple tries but I finally landed safely on the ledge. And then and only then,once I collected the coins the camera shifted and showed the backside of the top part of the level. I could then see that the bottom half of the level was right below me and an area that was previously too high to reach (which had more coins to collect) was now just a long fall away. This was one of two Purple Coin stars I tried and I hope the rest of them are just as clever and rewarding to do. Also I should note that it took me like 20 to 25 minutes to find them all so there is plenty of challenge and plenty of length. These levels really seem to push the boundaries of all the obstacles present within each area. Try em out let me know what you think.

How does having infinite time kill the Pikmin 2 expierience? Too lazy to find the quote. Anyway, Galaxy isn't too hard. It gets annoying that you only have a 3 health pieces and coins are so scattered.

Is this the easiest of the 3D Mario Games?

Is this the easiest of the 3D Mario Games?

Its no easier than Mario 64 in my opinion. I think some of the things that made SM64 hard were just design flaws/oversights (the lift platforms were buggy at times, the camera, and Mario not turning in correspondence to the way you are pushing the joystick when Mario is facing a certain way, etc....).Also Galaxy boasts better control of Mario and better overall responsiveness. Being able to control your long jumps make things a little easier but it feels alot more intuitive.

I'm on wii right now so I'll say my little review of the game later. Just one thing I'm gonna say It's like Im experienceing the new feal of the n64 all over again.

I'm on star twenty now. Still waiting on the difficulty to ramp up a bit. That doesn't mean I haven't died a few times here and there. It's fun, though, to go through all these highly creatively designed levels, so I have no complaints. I'm still not tired of being able to jump around a platform one-and-half times via long jump. Neato.

Blocky graphics and blurry textures? :P

Just kidding, this game really feels more like a sequel to Super Mario 64 than Sunshine.

How does everyone like Ray Surfing?

Because in Pikmin, it made you want to play. Pikmin 2, I just didn't want to play. Because I knew I had time to mess about. I'd do 1 in 20 days. 2, I was at about 30 and was only at 7 K.

The wall jump is sooo much better too. Some prick was actually slagging SMG off because of all you just said. And what's worse is that he's a Ninty fanboy 0_0

How does everyone like Ray Surfing?

I said above, it sucks :lol: Controls are too sluggish.

I'm only about a half hour and 2 stars in and it's a really incredible game :D The wait was more than worth it.

Well it arrived today.

First of all, credit where credit is due, it is very similar to those space-themed gravity-changing levels in Sonic Adventure 2, only better and much less frustrating. I can't believe that so few people have mentioned the similarities. And that's
