The TWW and Metroid Prime commercials are much worse because they're supposed to be taken seriously.
So obviously, I don't live in the USA. But I want Mario Galaxy 2 asap!
Cheapest place I've found to import it is this site: http://www.gamesbasement.co.uk/games-platform/nintendo-wii/super-mario-galaxy-2-wii-PD-555.html
£35. Which is the same price it'd cost retail over here anyway. But there's no point me ordering it if it takes two weeks to arrive. :lol
If I did order it from this site, does anyone know how fast delivery would be? Would I have it by mid-next week? Hm. The release date is also wrong on that site, so uh yeah.

Yeah that Sunshine commercial totally flew over everyone's heads. It certainly didn't help with Nintendo's image at the time, though.

I don't think it was over the top enough to let people know it was a parody.Crumpet Trumpet said:

This is because the game is so hot that we don't need to help ourselves getting hyped.
We are actually trying to settle down so we don't bust out our heart before the release.
I am in bed right now with my laptop. Fever, cold towel on the forefront and everything.
For the moment, I'm chalking it up to a combination of people on media blackouts and the fact that it's not out yet. What exactly is left to discuss when we already know what the power-ups do, but nobody wants to be spoiled on the rest? We're in that period of time between giving speculation and impressions, but that'll be over soon enough next weekend.autobzooty said:

I don't believe we've had a word about the game since Totilo's abstract impressions, have we? Not much to go on.
"Super Mario Galaxy 2's secrets have secrets." Discuss!
EDIT: Or maybe everyone's going and getting 9,999 Star Bits on their SMG save files like I suggested in the last thread.

Because it works better that way, and gets more notice. It shows the audience the game is for. Showing adults will help adults feel that it is OK to play the game.
Lkr said:
Because this game was meant to be Q4 of last year, but was delayed to allow NSMBWii some room to breathe.
No reason to push it back a whole 'nother year.
Because Nintendo realized games can be sold on Summer. See Brawl, Mario Kart, Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort.Lkr said:
Also it was pushed back.
Anyway, just saw the second TV commercial and my hype meter exploded. Not because of the footage, but it's such a well realized commercial.

True enough. My hype for this game is low, but only because I'm forcing it to be that way. I haven't seen any of the game apart from the very first two trailers that were shown. I was really disappointed with how much of Galaxy 1 I spoiled for myself before it came out.
Someone tell me if my media blackout so far has been worth it. Am I to believe that this will, in fact, be the shit?

It was originally planned as an expansion, but a few months after development began, they found they had too many ideas they wanted to include, so just made it a fully fledged new game.
When they finished the first one, the team had some cool ideas they didn't implement or thought about too late. So they began working on them on a project internally known as Galaxy 1.5. The ideas grew so fast and so many that they decided to create a Galaxy 2. They thought they could finish it in one year, but took them 2 and a half years.Lkr said:

The joy of Galaxy (and Galaxy 2) is seeing a new galaxy for the first time and hear the gorgeous music.
Take everything you loved about SMG and multiply by 10, then add in rainbows and unicorns.

To me, Galaxy 1 was a game all about its magnificent setpieces and the surprises that came from exploring the world. I spoiled just about every galaxy in the game for myself before it came out, so when I finally arrived at Gusty Gardens, it was much less special.
I'm on media blackout for the same reason I was on media blackout for Uncharted 2. I wanna experience that shit for REAL. It doesn't really have anything to do with the plot in either of these cases.
Power-ups, level designs, music, unlocks (SOMETHING happens when you get 120 stars, hell if I know what it is yet), puzzle solutions to a few stars....there's plenty outside of the game's plot that you can spoil yourself on.Lkr said:
I said it in the other thread at one point, but I slowly wound up spoiling myself on nearly every "main" (multi-star) galaxy in the first game and definitely regretted it. I haven't been on TOTAL blackout this time around either, but I'll say I've done a much better job. It'll make the experience all the sweeter in the end.

I think the commercials are fine. The first is a lot better then the second though.
Both are very Disney!, which is a good thing.

It doesn't matter who does it unless it totally sucks and then it still doesn't matter because it'll just be a distraction from the game itself:lol
But you did a more than adequate job on the thread.

Both the commercials are a marked improvement on even the original SMG commercial
Let alone the always embarrassing SMS commercial. :lol
It's like they wanted it to fail.

Anyway, I said this in the hype thread, but I'm getting a Mario 3 vibe with the SMG2 commercials.

I guess back then Mario didn't even need game play in his commercials. lol
