I really like the separating between hub and level in Mario games, for some reason. I really like how the hub is just a really interacting menu, and the game designers can do a lot of fun things with it as seen in SMG1 and SM64

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Commercial 3
This is only the second one on the Wii Youtube account, but it's very different from the two we've seen so far. It really reminds me of how Nintendo used to advertise their games, even the commercials for this game are amazing.

Has there been hate for them? I've only seen people that like them, but I haven't been following this thread closely. Personally, I really like them. If nothing else, it's much better than 'We would like to play'.Kandinsky said:
I am trying to avoid spoiling the game for myself. I have only watched one preview and I only skim these threads. I can wait another five days.
I preordered the game at EB today using three crap $10 games purchased at Walmart and Best Buy. It turned into $70 credit thanks to a promotion, which means I ultimately got SMG2 for a measly $20. That's some crazy shit.

So am I the only person who hated Bee Mario in Galaxy? I thought it was the worst suit he's ever had. For me Mario games, especially the 3D ones, are all about agility. I feel that the hover in his bee suit form is so sluggish and boring that it clashes with the greatness of the rest of the game.

Nope, pissed me off even more when Miyamoto said taht that was the reason for no Yoshi. :/Taxman said:
Don't know why they brang it back instead of using another fit like hammer Mario or Cape Mario . . .
Taxman said:
I didn't much care for ANY of the suits in Galaxy. They were gimmicky and only ever interesting for a few speciailized stars, but compared to the older Mario 'suit' powerups, none of them really had any beneficial quirks outside of their specific course runs.
Same goes for the new powerups. Would be nice if there were more utilization to some suits than the confined spaces they are designed for. Think of the Cape or P-wing or Tanooki in past games.

I liked Bee Mario. Sea Slide's Purple Coins was fantastic.

We took another one with him dubbing a play in 'real time' and some stuff from the 1UP duet mini-concert. I'll share when it's done

Wish Nintendo would stop releasing there games and hardware on Sundays. I want to play it now.
Eh, SMG isn't even my favorite Mario game. Maybe my favorite 3D Mario but that would be a close call.

Anyone saw the Full list of galaxy names in the guide's table of contents ?
It shows the explanation of the 120+ thing :
The kotaku quote of the "Mario Galaxy's Secrets have Secrets" is a little .... underanalization xD

" Find all 120 hidden Green Starsyou cannot unlock the last galaxy without them!"
120 HIDDEN stars !!!
*heart atack*
... is "last galaxy" the "Grandmaster Galaxy" or all of the "Special World" ?
talking about the special world... "Mario Squared Galaxy" has awesome retro possibilities"

The only reason I didn't like the bee suit was because for the most part it felt like it took away from too much of Mario's standard mobility instead of simply adding to it. Couldn't you not long jump or backward-somersault while you had it on? It never felt like a power-up that was genuinely more useful to have than the standard Mario unless there was a specific need to use it (i.e. tall cliff that can only be accessed by hovering), and I think that's why it doesn't endear itself to people. I hope that rock and cloud Marios feel like they have a bit more utility to them.
This really shouldn't surprise me I suppose...but it kind of does anyway. I hope they recorded an awful lot of stuff if they don't plan to retouch Yoshi's voice for another ten years.EatChildren said:

Both purchases are legitimate, as the first game is great and the second one is going to be great.Eric WK said:
You can choose either game and you'll win out, regardless of the price tag. And, when you've saved up enough money again, you can jump into the next one.
I'm against the idea of games maintaining a single price point over a span of a couple of years, but if there's one game that's still worth the money, it's the original Galaxy. That said, if you're prepared to spend $50, nothing's stopping you from jumping into Galaxy 2 first and just getting the original Galaxy down the line. This sequel may end up more refined or creative or something, which may potentially dampen the experience of the first game, but that's it. Otherwise, they take place in alternate universes, so in terms of plot connection there really isn't anything to be concerned about.
Galaxy 2 was originally going to be called "More Super Mario Galaxy," after all.

If it wasn't *that good* it's used price wouldn't still be so high after so much time with that many copies sold. If they stopped manufacturing new copies, I think the used price would be at $50 or more. It's just that insane.

Think of it this way, you can buy a copy used on half.com or ebay, and then sell it back for about the same amount of money. Or just keep it, since it is worth keeping.
