Mario Galaxy Looks Way Awesome

**Wyborn** · 11-05-2007, 02:27 AM

YouTube - Super Mario Galaxy "experience" trailer

Ignoring those goofy players in the commercial, this game looks great. Incredible, even. Damn.

And it comes out in about a week.

**NintendoNut** · 11-10-2007, 04:00 PM

Well it's supposedly the best Mario adventure in a long time. I'll certainly get it but not until Christmas.

And I'll avoid all topics about it until then. Games like these are just supposed to be left to you to discover all of it.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-10-2007, 04:40 PM

Hopefully, I can:

A. Afford it

B. Find it

X-3 · 11-10-2007, 11:20 PM

It doesn't just LOOK awesome: it plays awesome. I played it in GameStop. Damn, that was kickass. It's on my list of games to get. Hopefully I WILL get it, unlike all of those other games I thought of getting, but never went through with it...

The Big Boo · 11-11-2007, 12:34 AM

I agree with this topic.

Two Player possibility??? I'd love that!!!

I was talking to a friend about this game the other day and even though I had my reservations (as some of you might remember) it's looking better each time I see or hear more about it. It seems they fixed a lot of things that were wrong with Sunshine: varied worlds (I've seen Ice, Desert, Water and Lava worlds for example) full 3-D swimming and flight (I imagine that's possible as a bee), no Fludd, cool power-ups (I heard the fire flower is back as well).

For the longest time I thought I'd never get a Wii, but with this one, Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros. coming out I must say I'm tempted. I don't have any money or time for it now, though, so it'll probably still be a while, but at least now there is a possibility that I'm getting one.

Darunia00 · 11-12-2007, 03:56 PM

I'm just excited to have a reasonable platformer out on the market. It's been so long since there was anything to get excited about in that genre, maybe the Jak games. Certainly nothing from Nintendo since Sunshine, and I guess that's OK because they sort of devolved into collect-a-thons during N64s later days. Regardless: jacked up for this game.

**Wyborn** · 11-12-2007, 04:04 PM

Yeah Koga, I remember a lot of lukewarm reactions around here.

Hopefully the game stands as its own testament.

**BEARD BURGER MASTER** · 11-13-2007, 05:56 PM

Getting this game as soon as my brother beats it. Huzzah.

**Cravdraa** · 11-13-2007, 06:19 PM

Picked it up on my way home from work today. It's pretty awesome, from the few levels I've played so far.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 11-13-2007, 08:40 PM

^Yeah, I've seen several great reviews. I don't have a Wii with me right now, but maybe the 'rents will pick it up for Christmas for my siblings.

**Wyborn** · 11-13-2007, 09:09 PM

I'm ten stars in.

It is...pretty great. I'm playing it with SilverWind. Haven't had this much fun in a while.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 11-13-2007, 10:43 PM

^I have jealousy.

OMG SAY 'HI' TO SILVIE FOR ME!!!

**Wyborn** · 11-13-2007, 10:49 PM

She's my 2P. I'll be hers when she plays her own file.

The longer I think about it the more awesome this game is. It's....wow.

I want to dance around and point and laugh at all the naysayers. "Hahaha, I told you so" I would say.

What it does with gravity, the art style, the fully orchestrated soundtrack with some tracks being remixed from earlier games in the series. It's all so great. This game is fresh and wonderful and absorbing.

To anyone in here: when you get it, play it with someone else. A friend, a significant other, a sibling, a parent, it doesn't matter. It enriches the experience even further to be able to share this with someone.

Edit: Oh wait I know maybe you guys could let me in on this little AIM/MSN circle I'm not in on anymore and you could say hi to her

Swear, go away for a few months and everyone leaves you behind

DO THE MARIO

***ZeldaGirl*** · 11-13-2007, 10:56 PM

^I wasn't aware we had an AIM circle.

But, if you want it, I'll send it your way anyway.

**Booyakasha** · 11-14-2007, 12:29 AM

So it's good, then, is it? Typical. I buy a Gamecube, they put out Goddamn Mario Goddamn Sunshine Goddamn (that's a Mario Sunshine club sandwich on Goddamn bread, in case you were wondering); I denounce the Wii, they put out the apparent spiritual successor to SM64. Just another of the odd quirks of fate that makes life such a wacky series of misadventures, I guess.

**Cravdraa** · 11-14-2007, 02:33 AM

Check out this video. It's kinda cool, plus I got a few laughs out of it because of how seriously it was presented.

**Booyakasha** · 11-14-2007, 09:58 AM

^"The Jumpman has leapt a long way. An icon like Marilyn...yet, not like Marilyn. Undaunted, no matter how often he's battered. Mario the magnificent...resurrected...again."

Honestly. What in the name of bleeding Jesus were they even thinking? I mean, I know 'interest stories' like this require a little bit of presentation and drama, but were they trying to come off like a bunch of pretentious jackasses?

You think about it, this is the kind of thing you'd see on the Daily Show circa 1998, back when it was a clever parody of establishment media and not a soapbox for hateful apolitical snobs.

X-3 · 11-14-2007, 05:30 PM

For some reason, I think that guy sounds like the Colonel from Metal Gear. I dunno why. Maybe it's how they say, "Mario".

I plan to rent it to see if I like it before buying it. From what I played of the demo, I should like it.
