Super Mario Galaxy

[Team Andromeda]

When SMS was released and the backlash begun I thought it was because the game wasn't really like Super Mario 64. I wondered if people would have complained if they'd made it too much like SM64...

I can only speak for myself , I didn't like the game becasue it wasn't for me fun to play and it got boring . Now when you're enoying a game you can overlook flaws and camera problems , But if you're not, then they make you hate the game more ( Yes I know thats why people hate Sonic before anyone starts ) . I just Found Mario SS frustrating dull and boring and poor , Mind you I did love the Roller coaster boss battle that was awesome .

I don't think it never helped that the Mario Team had this amazing record of every Mario game getting better and better and each one AAA , so people's expectations are raised. It was similar when I was getting ready to play Daytona USA II, Daytona AM#2 , Nagoshi = how can the game fail, But to my utter shock and disappointment the game was poor .
It was a bit similar with the CS Team and Daytona CCE I guess they were both decent games in their own right , but after what had gone before they was disappointing and letdowns and didn?t feel Daytona games, It was the same for Mario SS (if that makes any sense)

But enough of Mario SS, At least the Team got it more than right with the next game and thats all that counts now , and show the mark of a good Team and producer

I got mine on Monday from VG+ all I can say is Mario Galaxy is just video game perfection. My only problem is that I can?t play it for long due to the Wii mote making my wrist hurt. It?s never been right since I broke it playing football a few years ago I?m ok with joypads tho.

I found sunshine Challenging, exciting, and fresh. I also hated the roller coaster bit.

It looked fantastic (it still does actualy, its one of the most coulourful and sharp looking games ever made) and to me it was an extention of mario 64, which even if it was never gonna be quite as well loved as that game, certainly had as much effort and content put into it. Plus you mention the camera, the camera in sunshine was fantastic, like someone else mentioned on here it was as vital as controling mario himself... Galaxy's camera is the one thing thats wrong with it really, its killed me a few times now and its just plain annoying in some places when you want to control it and cant.

I've been playing this for the last couple of days. Halo 3? **** off! This is what videogaming is all about mate! There are people who like to play games and there are people who like to play GAMES.

It's Mario and Nintendo have done it once again!

PS: Aren't we lucky to own a Wii

Mines been packed away with the Wii for sometime now.

Can I hold out until Christmas????

Really want to.

Mario at Christmas, even though it will only be an hour or two, it's just special.

We've had so many AA games this year, I think saving up an AAA game for the 25th will be wonderful for the soul!

Me wants it so bad. You have to be club nintendo member in japan though.

Rather unfair Nintendo are only giving this to club members in Japan, when the Japanese gaming public has so inexcusably ignored Mario Galaxy's existence.

[djjimbob]

WTF are they all playing then?

Playasia will be taking preorders soon.

[Mayhem]

Interesting... I've not seen PA do pre-orders much on Club Nintendo items, they usually stock and list after they are released.

Playasia will be taking preorders soon.

You rock sir!
