    Game: Super Mario Galaxy

    This game was just released today, and it's actually pretty good.

    Anyone got their hands on this game today or planning to at all? The game is a mix of the old -n- new, from Super Mario 64 to Super Mario Sunshine. The Wii-mote control set up is nearly perfect, if not perfect, and nothing goes to waste. It's Mario, what more can anyone say?

    Was interested in this game, if the controls are good I'll try and get my hands on a copy but I don't play video games much and with the frenzy over 360 and the abundance of good games it has, the Wii and this game especially has really gone under the radar even is more interested in Brawl, I haven't even seen a commercial for this game yet there are commercials for Mario and Sonic at the Olympics to get back on topic, I'm not a fan of Mario games but I can't see how it can go wrong if its a mix of Sunshine and 64 besides I need a light relaxing game to play so I'll try and snag a copy from someone this weekend.

    That's rather impressive.

    I only have 28 stars at the moment, and I've probably spent more time than anyone. Only 92 more stars to go..

    Would the game be enjoyable for someone who hasn't touched a Mario game since Super Mario World on the SNES?

    It's a little difficult to say, since basically the mechanics of the game are no where near similar to the Super Mario World for the SNES. It's somewhat an entirely new experience for someone who hasn't touched the recent titles up to this point, but it should be pretty fun and a good gamin' experience for new comers and old comers. So, you should pick up a copy or at least rent it.

    Just reached 44 a few hours ago.

    Oh, I beat the game a few days ago. I think I'm in the 70s now though.

    RyougaZell, if there was any reason to not play a newer game within a series (the two of which I could imagine being plot or nostalgia oriented), it wouldn't apply to Mario Galaxy.

    There's plenty of nostalgic references to earlier games, but they don't serve any more purpose than to just be fun little visual/audible elements.

    I never played Mario 64 or Sunshine because I didn't buy a N64 nor a GameCube. But I do own a Wii.

    The thing is that I haven't played a game like this since the SNES, and have sticked to RPG, Survival Horror and somewhat fighting games.

    I'll think about it. It looks good, but I somewhat have too many games unplayed currently.

    You can always buy Mario 64 off the wii shop :]

    Mario 64 is still the most unique experience I've ever had with a video game. But I'm sure that sentiment wouldn't have the same effect nowadays, since it was the notion of fully immersive, 3D environments that gave it a lot of appeal back in the days when the only competitors were games like.....Croc....and Kid Chameleon(?)

    The great thing about Mario Galaxy is that it holds true to a LOT of the original gameplay elements of Mario 64.

    Well, I rented the game for 2 weeks, only have 57 stars so far, I'm at the toybox galaxy.. I hate it. Should have the game finished in about.. 2 days or so. (Not 100% completed, but main story done at least)

    Does anyone know where the hell Luigi is on the third picture?
    (He's climbing on a Tree of some sort.. there's a fountain behind him.. I know this is not much..)

    Toybox Galaxy was awesome or maybe I just liked the remixed theme too much.

    AssertnFailure: Send me that PM as well, because I don't have a clue either. Thanks in advance.

    Hmmm, so I take it from the general enthusiasm in the posts that this game is worth getting, am I right? Is it "super mega awesome pop-tarts marshmellowery goodness" good, or just pretty good?

    Its Mario, its not a must have game and I won't consider it worth getting especially if you're short on cash, its just a fun game but that is just my opinion.

    Most certainly is just your opinion. Let's see what professional game reviewers have to say about it....

    Hmm....98% average score after 53 reviews....

    Hmm....beat the previous all-time 1st place game of all platforms, which was OOT?
    Yeah...it is just a fun game.

    I think it was just the person who did the logo playing tricks on us or Nintendo is calling all Wii owners gay.

    Wow Assertn! You certainly take your Mario games seriously. I don't care about a trumped up rating its just a Mario game, hardly consider it a necessity.
