Aww....thanks! This is genius, almost forgot about it!
So, like, I can't even hold in my excitement for this game but.....am I the only one who didn't pre-order the game who is going to Walmart at midnight to get the game? I feel like no on eis going to do that so......I'm going to do it. I can't even possibly wait until Sunday to get the game. I need the game as SOON as I possibly can get it.
How are some of you getting the game so early? I don't understand; I'm super jealous.

Man, this fucking GAME. THIS FUCKING GAME. So fucking good! Every time I see a new galaxy and think, "man, this might be the first boring one", it stuns me. Wow. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
I'll say this though, the overall reactions to the soundtrack are a little overrated -- I mean, there are some amazing, amazing pieces, but a lot of mediocre ones too that I don't think warrant all the spooge. Granted, I'm only like, 30 stars in and only listened to a couple on youtube. I'm sure there are many amazing epic pieces to come.

Yea so far part 2 seems to have more "happy" tunes which isnt really my preference, such as Puzzle Plank Galaxy, but at least they arent completely annoying or bad
I wanna hear more tunes like this one from Galaxy 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et4JXYP8r1E

Those American award show only focus on Western games. Just like Oscar, you don't expect them to give a fair share to a Brazil or Hong Kong movie.
Also, as much as people mock Mario for 'another one', it was the first time since SNES that a true proper Mario sequel is release for the same platform. Compare that to games like Ratchet & Clank and Call of Duty where they have like 5 games a generation.

SMG1's still a more standout collection of tunes in my mind right now, but again, I'm only like 30 stars in here.
Puzzle Plank was cool, but again, a little overrated.
I actually dug the shit out of the galaxy whose music sped up or slowed down in tempo
based on your movements and the speed of your motion-controlled ball
Was really surprised to see a commercial for this just before Prince of Persia's Cinema showing yesterday, was a bit cheesy, but otherwise good work Nintendo. (movie was fairly good btw)
Am going to put down a pre-order later, sucks UK has to wait so long, my sympathies go out to the aussies too.

Oh, and while I had some friends over tonight, we tried out the 2-player option.
My god guys....this game's fucking brilliant in co-op. I really hadn't seen shit about SMG2 ahead of time aside from the E3 announcement trailer last year, so this was a great surprise to me.
The incredibly hectic pace of some of these levels almost demands this kind of aid from the second player. It hardly feels tacked on, and yet, it's perfectly playable alone as well.
Magnificence!
Oh, I don't remember it. Guess it must've been in SMG1 too, then. Sorry, been two and a half years. :lol

The 2nd player can grab items for the main player, and freeze obstacles and enemies in place nearly indefinitely, sometimes causing chain reactions of events to occur!

People who complain about too many Mario games don't know the difference between a spin-off and a MARIO GAME.
The time between Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine was soooooo long. Sunshine to Galaxy was pretty big, too. I'm frankly quite thankful that I'm not going to have to endure another drought before playing the next entry in the series.

So happy to hear Mario 64 remixes... it's just old enough that they trigger super-nostalgia at this point.Mejilan said:
edit: a youtube comment says this tune was in Galaxy 1 as well? I don't even remember it @_@

If its got Super Mario in the title its a main series title. Or at least thats what I think.

The original version (N64) was in Galaxy 1, not the one with the vocal choir.

It's not the great reviews scores, the great impressions, or even the great gameplay footage that makes me want to get a Wii (AGAIN) just to get this game...
It's the music. The wonderful soundtrack is pulling me in. I knew I would feel like this when SMG2 was announced...
Gotta find a way to play this.

Impressions - 2 hours in (got 10 stars, beat World 1)
Pros:
- Incredible controls, gameplay mechanics, level design
- New power-ups are awesome (cloud mario, drill)
- Yoshi is really fun to use (which I always had him!)
- Don't mind loss of HUB, ship is good enough
- Same great music, graphics.
Cons:
- Boss battles are far too easy

It's really unbelievable if you think about it. Mario is the one of the most recognized brand names on the planet, and yet despite all his spin-offs, this is the only the ELEVENTH true Mario title. And what a spectacular eleven they are. There isn't a single game in that list that isn't fucking fantastic, and no fewer than four of them completely altered the course of gaming history.
Edit: Included NSMB and NSMB:W

And if you're counting NSMB you have to count Mario Land 1 and 2 as well.RagnarokX said:

They're good though.Feep said:
Just consider them modern day counterparts to Super Mario Bros. 2 (Lost Levels). They don't innovate all that much, but they continue a winning formula... and frankly they do more than even that comparison.
Allan Holdsworth said:
Yoshi's Island must be there... it's Super Mario World 2 man! (officially in the west... unofficially in Japan)
...actually, nice thesis.. but there are more than 9 true Mario games no doubt.
And I think there is merit to including Mario Land games... but then do you include SM Land 3: Wario Land? Or Wario Land 2, 3, 4, Virtual Boy, and Shake It?
Mario Land should count, after all it is a mainline Mario game.
I've finally came home and started listening to the soundtrack OH MY GOD
Melty Monster Galaxy theme is spectacular, I'd go as far as saying it is, along with final boss theme better than anything in the first game. And that's saying a lot.
