I would like to see a "special" kind of leak deliberately released by Nintendo to brick Wii systems before the game's release date.

That would be pretty crafty. Some people have bricked their modded consoles by updating an NTSC system with an update on a PAL disc, and visa-versa, but what's kind of ironic is that the system can be un-bricked by running an update off of a disc from the proper region.

I think that may actually be why Nintendo has started adding that "this update may break your sh*t" warning to their updates. I think they secretly love pirates.

Watched someone play at a store for about 10 minutes tonight. It looks amazing. I'm getting anxious.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #478 on:** October 28, 2007, 04:44:43 PM »

Now, it's *really* been leaked

. It's the first anti-modchip Wii game apparently, but at least one of the chip makers has already figured out how to make anti-mod games work. I don't think piracy has any real effect on the Wii though, I mean sure it hurts Nintendo a little bit, but I imagine it's a very small group of people that do it, especially when compared with PSP or XBox 360. At least Guitar Hero 3 and Manhunt 2 can hold people's (read: mine) attention for the next couple of weeks until the retail release.

Piracy (which is quite cumbersome and not worthwhile on Wii) is actually a marketting tool. Creates a little extra spark of buzz for a title which would accompany all the other news/previews/demos bits we're already seeing.

IceCold · « **Reply #480 on:** October 28, 2007, 06:12:31 PM »

That's quite true - all the forums with the buzz about Galaxy are sure to induce more sales just through the hype factor. Most members probably don't have modded Wiis anyway.

they have galaxy at gamestops and ebgames. go play it. this isn't a demo, this is the full game. here are my impressions:

first off the game is great looking. the upgrade from 64 to sunshine was good, from sunshine to galaxy is great. from the cut scenes to the actual gameplay it was a great game to look at.

gameplay. three-dimensional platformer. the first planets you come to are small. really small. like fit in the whole screen small. and the camera doesn't shift view to account for where you are. oh sure it follows you, but if you are running upside down chasing a jack-a-lope the camera doesn't turn upside down.

pile-driving through planets and coming out the other side is cool, btw.

the first move you get (WARNING: this may sound familar) is a spin attack. simply shake the controller and you spin, knocking enemies over. then you just run into them to finish them off. there are still gumbas.

bowser's airships are bad-ass.

the controls are easy so far. the stick for motion, the A button for jumping, the B button to launch these star thingys, which admittedly i hadn't figured out what to do with yet (I was too busy chasing bunnies). you can push down on the d-pad to get the first person look around view.

for the most part, i can't wait for this game to come out.

Looking at the trailer video the game looks a lot better then it does at one of those Demo Kiosk where it looks blocky and jagged.

IceCold · « **Reply #483 on:** October 30, 2007, 06:27:02 PM »

First North American review is up - that site doesn't seem too credible, but there you go.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #484 on:** October 31, 2007, 10:32:15 AM »

A friend complained to me about how a REALLY big spoiler is spreading everywhere, so everyone be careful when exploring Mario-related threads!

Willpower, just hold on for two more weeks! ;_;

Sessha · « **Reply #485 on:** October 31, 2007, 10:35:53 AM »

I really only have time to visit here, so I'm not too worried about spoilers. I want to go into this game as uninformed as I can. But I'm not sure if I will be in the U.S. for launch day so that's depressing.

Those HDTV's they use at the game stores are nowhere close to being decently calibrated and are in dire need of it. I didn't think a whole hell of a lot about Metroid Prime 3's graphics in the store despite the screens I've seen elsewhere until I got it home on my HD set and blew me away.

You know that is quite true. I remember playing Excite Truck at Gamestop before Wii came out and thought the visuals looked horrendous and pixelated. Turned out the game looked fine.

I saw before the edit. If true I hate you.

Did stevey post a/the spoiler?

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #491 on:** October 31, 2007, 11:52:29 AM »

Oh if anyone's been on Gamefaqs lately they'd see there's a major spoiler going around the boards there. Don't worry I won't post what it is but lets just say this news makes me very very happy.

VERY VERY HAPPY

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #492 on:** October 31, 2007, 12:13:09 PM »

Oh great, now I already know what it is... >=|

Does this spoiler involve URMRGAY?

Mario and Luigi are brothers in love. CONFIRMED.

Well, if you think Luigi is G ay, then yes... I just read it and I don't consider it to be a massive spoiler. Though its extremely awesome that Luigi appears in a 3D Mario game now

Mashiro · « **Reply #496 on:** October 31, 2007, 01:29:35 PM »

[poiler]I personally think it's awesome that Sonic is finally in a Mario game.

Making the UFO powered by the Chaos emerald and built by Eggman was quite a twist!/spoiler]

There's been screens released, by Nintendo even, that show the *spoiler*, if that's what it is. How lame that people are saying its huge.

Especially since its a bonus feature that is unlocked only after you collect 120 stars, which isn't an easy feat.

Now you just told me that! Normally I don't mind slight spoilers before a game release, but c'mon guys I was so good with this game, I watched a very few trailers and even when I saw the demo in store I played 2 or so minutes. I really want this game to be a surprise in every way imaginable. Please keep spoilers in spoiler tabs EVEN if you yourself consider it MINOR.
