Looks like the contents of the "how to play" dvd are on the site, under "new to Mario games?"
Hum, I don't remember Gusty Garden from my playtime, but some awesome, epic new tunes.
Here's the other Martinet video, voicing some boo and bowser parts while other was playing:

Second half of the video is for that '1Up duet', they closed the event with some classic Mario in violin and cello.

The only reason I regret buying this game on Amazon is because I'll have to wait longer to play it. I want it now!!!

Go to best buy the day it's released buy it and keep the receipt.Scythesurge said:
When amazon finally delivers yours return the unopened copy for a full refund..use the I already got this as a gift. Just make sure you keep that receipt otherwise you will only get store credit. Also don't wait a week to return it. Do it right away.
I've done this several times to get the best deal online as well as getting the game on release...

This game looks absolutely fantastic. Seriously, how is Nintendo ever going to top Galaxy 1 and 2 come next gen? They're going to need one hell of a concept.

I can only speak of the DS version though. There the textures look as if the walls are composed of many small bricks. But it looks way more greyish. In SMG it looks more like beige and brown.
Edit: Just getting back to SM64DS, I remember why I hate the game...the controls are awful.
I absolutely refuse to discuss this question in this thread -- I've certainly had my fair share of discussions about this on GAF in the past year -- so no need to stress (I won't go there), but perhaps it's a fair question to ask this:civilstrife said:
As Super Mario Galaxy 2 impendingly comes to a close, is it not worth in the very near future starting an all-purpose discussion thread on future mainstream Mario game ideas/preferences etc? This, of course, presumes that E3 2010 reveals nothing about SMG2's successor, or rather, presumes that the inevitable Mario 3DS is not considered the spiritual successor.

I can attempt to explain it.Kandinsky said:
spoiler'd in case someone is still on media blackout :lol
Super Mario 64's camera is automated to a certain point but when following Mario, is usually closer to the ground than in Galaxy. SM64's camera controllability including being able to scale really far out and simulate the feeling of depth, while also being able to focus on action more than SMG's camera.
SMG's lighting is more complex than 64's, and every now and then while everything is illuminated in 64, have actual lights/shadows in SMG. Whomp's Fortress as redesigned doesn't look like it work the way SMG creates its environments, unless they wanted to add more light sources.
The scaling of the objects is different. In SM64, the coins are smaller and the environment is more rigid, which creates the feeling of more space. Some of the platforms are larger/smaller.
SM64 plays more on the concept of weight. Mario can get hurt from falls, playing the game feels like it has more weight, whereas in Galaxy Mario can jump into orbit and control his jumps even more with the spin move.
All of these in combination would make any SM64 environment feel smaller/more archaic/otherwise "off" when given SMG's gameplay/presentation.
I can't really explain the choice of the background though. Probably just to have that retro feel. Though yeah I can understand what you're saying.
Here's a comparison pic if anyone wants (forgot to shrink N64 pic to respective resolution).

Let's get this console bullshit out of a love and peace thread.
What a completely childish thread title change. It's basically asking for drama and arguments to be brought into the thread. That's the type of troll baiting that would either get someone banned or at least get a mod to change the title.
But yes, it's okay for certain mods to troll, apparently.

Wtf at the title. D;
It's kind of funny that no one has problems with direct sequels as long as it isn't a 3D Mario game that gets one. I've never heard so many "too similar"-saying people just because a new game is a direct sequel. Normally people don't have a problem with that at all or at least not to this degree.Cosmozone said:
