I'd TOTALLY dig a Super Mario Galaxy 2 which featured new levels and very little else. There's nothing wrong with more of the same when the same is awesome.
Eh what about priced DLC available at... launch?
I'm curious how the word Galaxy was used. Core Mario games are usually not direct sequels.
They did a lot of things in Galaxy that could only be done in the space setting, if they're going to make another Mario game this generation it would make more sense to make Super Mario Galaxy: The Lost Levels than to start from scratch.
Having some sort of downloadable "Lost Levels" is actually a pretty good idea. My main pet peeve with the WAS that there weren't more levels and the difficulty being too low. As long as I don't have to have the disc or something
Don't expect anything soon people. Miyamoto started talking about Mario 128 on the Gamecube just a few months after Sunshine was released back in 2002.
Not to mention when Mario Galaxy has already sold over 6 million copies in less then 6 months and is still selling. Nintendo never makes a sequel to a game that's still selling like crazy. Why else do you all think they haven't released a New Super Mario Bros 2 when the first one has sold over 13 million copies? Because New Super Mario Bros is STILL selling in every single major territory.
Unless Mario Galaxy's sales suddenly drop to zero over night in every single country, don't expect a sequel to appear for at least 3 years.
Well, I hope that Nintendo keeps in mind that fans of the series get pissed off having to wait so long for sequels. Also, there's a chart out there that shows a decline in Mario series games over time. The Press really needs to put pressure on Shiggy.
Shiggity Shiggity Shiggity!
