Don't say "video games" when you mean "Mario." Some games are designed to tell a story. Mario is not one of them, so I agree that taking off points for a Mario game not having an epic storyline is retarded.

Apparently some Best Buys are letting the game out early. I'm going to check out mine in a few minutes.

Thanks to a blip with Virgin Megastore, my friend got SMG a week early. i got metroid a week late

Tanookisuit · « **Reply #653 on:** November 08, 2007, 09:06:44 AM »

Well, I've checked the Gamestops and BestBuys here in Chicago, and nobody is selling it early.

What are you guys talking about. You answered your own question. They gave the game a 9.8 with a 7.5 Story score. Go and find a lot of examples of that. Its obvious they didn't care either. I always take those scores to me not considering anything else. Which means if the game was only the story, like a book, this is the score it would receive.

Your forgetting that story brought with it a very important life lesson.

Patience is a virtue

10.0

That story needs more cutscenes and characters with generic rage. 5.0.

Probably most of you guys have read it, but IGN has a great article on the history of Mario, I know I learned a few things. Here it is

You won't find it there because it was sent out by virgin megastore.co.uk

IceCold · « **Reply #660 on:** November 08, 2007, 07:40:16 PM »

When is it released in the UK anyway?

Plugabugz · « **Reply #661 on:** November 08, 2007, 11:06:17 PM »

November 16

Just remember people, preorder this Sunday at Toys R Us to get that 25 dollar gift promotion. Mine will pay for Contra 4 pretty much, what will yours pay for?

Fixed for correctness, NOE screws over its region again, etc.

I saw three ads on TV for it all saying November 16. So for a change, not so much!

Caterkiller · « **Reply #665 on:** November 11, 2007, 12:11:16 PM »

I just got a call from Mario himself telling me to pick up the game tomorrow, is that right? I thought it was released on the 13th.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #666 on:** November 11, 2007, 12:23:42 PM »

so SMG didn't release today?

Same here, too bad I will be at work and won't be able to get it until Tuesday

Mashiro · « **Reply #668 on:** November 11, 2007, 03:54:45 PM »

If it is released tomorrow I'll be thrilled, my day off ftw =D

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #669 on:** November 11, 2007, 06:01:20 PM »

Don't bother getting SMG it sucks according to gamedaily

The two player is for kids

so is the cloying saccharine dialog and supporting cast -- an exercise in infantilism we could do without.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #670 on:** November 11, 2007, 06:40:59 PM »

Game comes out on Tuesday.

IceCold · « **Reply #671 on:** November 11, 2007, 07:49:51 PM »

Retailers are idiots. First the TRU deal, now Circuit City is selling Mario Galaxy for $35 in the US. It's one of (if not the) biggest game of the year! It's going to sell!

ShreddersDojo · « **Reply #672 on:** November 12, 2007, 03:24:59 AM »

So, is the game in stores today?

I was thinking of going down too the Wayne NJ TRU, but I'm seeing different release dates..

ProfessorCFK · « **Reply #673 on:** November 12, 2007, 05:05:57 AM »

I bought it today at target. The ad says the 14th for some reason, but their street date chart said today. Voila.

Darkheart · « **Reply #674 on:** November 12, 2007, 05:17:45 AM »

TRU said it wont be until Weds because thats when their truck comes in . . . X( 25 dollars is worth waiting a day or two right RIGHT!?
