Foreword by MisterHero


When the above quote by Reggie was stated, the year’s E3 belonged to the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight
Princess and the Nintendo DS. Super Mario Sunshine was out for almost 2 years, and yet, Nintendo was still not getting the
market to connect with GameCube on the scale of even their own earlier console efforts. To turn the tide, everyone knew
Nintendo had to do something drastic. I was mostly concerned for Nintendo’s continued ability to create the games with the
unique-yet-broad appeal they’ve always made.

Sure, the games sold and they had the money, but would they know what to do with their characters in the future? Would he
and characters like him become “more realistic” as we saw in Super Smash Bros. Melee? “Cooler” as we witnessed in the
evolution of Sonic post-Adventure? “Tougher” as depicted by his stern visage and rolled-up sleeves on the cover of Super
Mario Sunshine?

The answer came in 2006 perhaps, with the release of New Super Mario Bros. on the DS and the announcement of the first
Super Mario Galaxy. With these games, Nintendo demonstrated that Mario doesn’t need to be anything more than be what he
always was: a fat little plumber that jumps around for our mad amusement. The jumps might get more treacherous, the
enemies might get meaner, and the princess might always get kidnapped, but in space, Mario will continue to jump but never
have to fall.​

[noisome07]

Nice OT, don't have a wii

 

[SpanishExplorer]

YESSSSSS. Can't wait!

 

[Costanza]

Might get.

 

[Mutagenic]

Day 1.

 

[Morbid Angel]

Oh hell yeah!

EU: June 11, 2010

Booooooooo

 

[AceBandage]

That Transmission image is really well done.

 

[GK86]

Buying a Wii for this. Already have it pre-ordered. Can't wait.

 

[Scribble]

Cute.

 

[braves01]

Already pre-ordered at Amazon with $20 gift card bonus. So excited!

 

[Ushojax]

Already pre-ordered my US copy (screw waiting till June the 11th). Shame the US didn't get the bonus DVD though.

 

[Lamel]

Finally Good thread Willy.

Can't wait for the game; won't be able to buy it Day 1, but definitely will buy it within the first few weeks. Looks so friggin' insane.

 

[VeryGooster]

Damn that box art is colorful enough to get me to actually buy it day one.

Edit: Actually, I may actually use my $20 gift card from my Amazon Red Dead Redemption order on this game.

 

[Rctdaemon]

Awesome. My copy's going to arrive a little after the release date, but I'll be plenty busy until then.

 

[Frillen]

Hell month for me. Got Alan Wake yesterday, then Red Dead in a week, then Galaxy 2 on the 11th of June. Then there's two exams in the middle to fuck everything up!

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Already pre-ordered my US copy (screw waiting till June the 11th). Shame the US didn't get the bonus DVD though.

That's what youtube is for.

 

[No_Style]

I have a Wii and will get this.

Spoiler

I just don't know when.

 

[EatChildren]

You did well guys.

 

[pirata]

*sigh* Despite telling myself that I was going to sit out Nintendo's current console generation, this, alongside the other Mario platformers and the inevitable Zelda, will probably force me to pick up a Wii. I wish I had a PC that could run Dolphin

 

[r3n4ud]

Might get.

Uh, might get? This is not a "might get" game is you own a Wii, it's a must get!

 

[Majmun]

Buying a Wii for this. Already have it pre-ordered. Can't wait.

Make sure to play the original also.

Great thread. SMG is still my GOTG. I wonder if this one will surpass it...

 

[Ushojax]

That's what youtube is for.

Oh, I don't really care, it's just annoying when one territory misses out on a bonus like that. I'm sure they'll put the videos on the US Nintendo Channel (thereby completely defeating their purpose).

 

[GK86]

Make sure to play the original also.

I'm looking around, trying to find it on the cheap. I played through most of it last year. Never got around to finishing it though, since my brother sold his wii.

 

[webcivilian]

Nice job on the thread.

 

[Kaldea]

Awesome looking thread. I completely forgot to preorder this until now. Thanks thread!

 

[camineet]

Nice thread!

Cannot wait for release

 

[Empty]

given that galaxy is my game of the forever, i'm pretty fucking stoked.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Excitement for this game is based upon how tingly my balls are. And right now, they are a tinglin'!

 

[geeko]

Can't wait, anticipation is peaking!

 

[MisterHero]

Thanks Willy

 

[Magnus]

Can't wait, hopefully I get my grubby paws on this by Thursday.

 

[civilstrife]

I think this might be a really great videogame!

 

[hiryu2015]

Already pre-ordered at Amazon with $20 gift card bonus. So excited!

If you pre-order from Amazon, how soon can you expect it to ship? seriously thinking of ordering for the bonus card.

 

[Crash Station]

You're not bad at making threads, Willy

 

[ampere]

Nice thread, I have my Amazon preorder with $20 gift card

 

[lordoftherink]

Looks awesome, will be getting, currently playing Super Luigi Galaxy in anticipation, (around 50 stars) which I will hopefully finish before 2 comes out.

 

[Weenerz]

No preorder bonus for US =(

 

[EmCeeGramr]

oh god that ultra-fugly "the thread" image is polluting our sacred realm

 

[bounchfx]

GOTY. Can't wait for my copy to come in.

 

[ZeroRay]

Woo! Mario!

 

[smokeymicpot]

Last episode of Lost and Mario Galaxy 2 the same day. How awesome is that.

 

[Sadist]

WANT.

Just 27 more days.

 

[Miguga64]

I just bought the black wii last sunday just to play this game! I think Mario Galaxy 1 was a MAGICAL game... and I wait the same for this.

 

[Salsa]

Good job OP, most hyped game ever for me. I know its not going to disappoint.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

GAME OF THE FOREVER

part 2.

 

[Haunted]

I hear this game is going to be pretty good.

 

[Oli]

Still looking forward to this, and I shall not permit myself to spoil every inch of it despite the temptation. So until the game comes out I bid this thread farewell.

Great OP though

 

[TreIII]

I'm surprised I haven't gotten a call from "Mario" yet. That was something that made me smile when NSMBWii was fast approaching.

"I'm waiting....!"

Ooops, wrong franchise! :lol

 

[Pyrokai]

Yay! I made the front page!

Can't wait for this game. Gonna be the best thing ever!

 

[Haunted]

oh god that ultra-fugly "the thread" image is polluting our sacred realm

Someone should've told the OP how to round the corners of images in PS.
