Famitsu scores stopped being relevant when they gave FF12 a 40/40, if not before.

You are forgetting Nintendogs.

Nintendo's bursting bubble all started with DS.

Well guys I DID get to play Mario Galaxy at Gamestop, with that said I didn't play much of it. Really this is a game that I would feel much better playing at home, I felt awkward making quiet but perhaps audible sounds of joy while playing it. Heck I didn't even get to see what what you use the star shooting for. It was also quite embarrassing because I was trying to spin and was getting frustrated it wasn't working, until I found out I hadn't gotten the move yet. Anyway shortly after getting the spin move and using it to break a few crystals, I quit. Really though I was afaid to spoil too much of the experience and in turn only played for 10 minutes or so. So yeah all I can say is the following:

-The controls are flawless
-Once you get the spin it is so easy to do
-Visuals are great
-It looks like you can control the camera too with the d-pad, though I can't be certain about that

I played the demo at a Gamestop here in Chicago today (the Gamestop on Fullerton by the Chuckie Cheese, if anyone cares). I found the game to be very fun. There were 2 selectable worlds, some "Egg" galaxy, and the "Bee" area. I played the Egg galaxy. I'll keep my impressions short. I played a round of Mario Sunshine last night, and I found Galaxy's controls to be dumbed down a bit. There was no quick-jerk side jump backflip move, which I apparently used a lot, because I was constantly trying to do it in Galaxy. Otherwise it feels great.

-Mario seemed a little slower than in Sunshine.
-Blasting from planet to planet is a serious joy.
-The TV at Gamestop made the game look terrible and pixely (I can't wait to play it on my low-def set at home).
-Secondary Wii-remote functions (gathering star bits and shooting them) were totally intuitive and fun.
-The game is action-packed. Finish one task, move on to the next. Really fun.

Are you talking about the move where you run one direction, then turn the other direction and immediately jump? I've read elsewhere that that move is in Galaxy. If not, I'm disappointed. I use that move constantly.

That's the move I'm talking about. Maybe I just wasn't doing it right? But like I said, I was playing Sunshine last night, so the move was fresh in my mind.

I just found a video on Nintendo's Japanese site showing that move: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rmgj/action/jump_variation.html

It's possible that you just hadn't learned the move yet...

IceCold · « **Reply #460 on:** October 26, 2007, 11:10:10 AM »

well it was in 64 and Sunshine, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be in Galaxy..

You know I hate when you already now a move and you have to wait to "learn" it. I understand when it requires a new piece of gear but, if you now it then you should be able to use it.

The shines stole Mario's memory of his moves, so he must replace it shine by shine.

That's funny that you have to "learn" moves. Phoenix, you said you hadn't learned the spin attack yet. the demo I was playing had it (maybe someone already "learned" it), but I didn't have that jump move. Hmph. Anyway, the game is awesome. I can't wait.

You learn the spin move near the beginning, though when you only play for 10 minutes you can't get that far.

Just played it today at Gamestop when picking up Zach and Wiki. . .

Only played it for 5 mins or so because I've spoiled the game enough watching trailers but all I WILL say is that the gravity is AWESOME and Mario moves FANTASTIC.

Music spoiler I caught in one of the trailers!

Well it looks like the game has been leaked because there's already video's of people playing the final game. I would post the links but I'm afraid Reggie will burst through my wall as soon as I hit Reply. So anyone that's trying to avoid spoilers should be very careful.

Not so much leaked as Gamestop employees taking the Mario Galaxy disc back home with them... =\

It's the Halo2 leak-game tactic.

Beyond that, the game is already being pirated.

I played Galaxy at Gamestop today, and it's f**king awesome. I really didn't like Sunshine all that much, and I never played Mario 64, and this is just brilliant. The colors are vibrant, and I love those shiny stars like you wouldn't believe. The controls are easy to use, simple, and fun. Flying from planet to planet is awesome, and looks amazing.

God I need this game.

It actually hasn't been leaked online, it was all a hoax, though I'm sure with the final copy being in Gamestop kiosks all over the US, it will be leaked very soon.
