I want a Luma plushie, the Penguins are AWESOME because they bring back memories of Mario 64, and the bees... well... I'll give you that. They're Bees.

That's what i thought at first but the voicemail i got from him via preordering @ gamestop shows he naturally has a high pitched voice and when he started doing Mario's voice it was actually higher than normal..

My conclusion is: Ol' Charlie was sick during recording

or the deeper voice is an attempt to make mario more “Mature” FTL

Why do they need to re-record him for every game. They proberly have tonnes of samples of him going.

"HA..WOOP... YAHOOOO!"  or
"Here We GOOOOO!"

Or just raise the pitch a bit with an audio program.

I think the Piantas have had a good run.  I put them in the same place a put the main villians in SMB2.

I take back what I said earlier about the game's difficulty. It DEFINITELY does ramp up on the later levels. Not only have I died more than once already the harder levels are an excersize (sp?) in timing, luck and skill. Toy Galaxy is an example of this. There wasn't a time in which I wasn't at the edge of my seat, praying I didn't fall off the stage.

Its an incredibly frustrating but awesome feeling, something that was severely missing in Sunshine.

The levels are incredible! I have never seen such creativity and ingenuity in a platformer before. THIS is the kind of stuff that should have been present in New Super Mario Bros.!

I went from liking it to being obsessed with it!

Yet again, like Metroid, my copy has got lost or delayed int he post! . In the end I cancelled the order (even though its out in the post and should arrive anyway) and asked for my money back. I preordered Medal of Honor instead and will get Galaxy in a few weeks time.

I now understand how S_B as well as many others feel when a fantastic game doesn't do well in Japan. Its heartbreaking to see the game basically being ignored, especially since its such a fantastic, well crafted Wii game.

The even sadder part is that Nintendo Japan poured their heart and souls into marketing the game and has hardly moved any copies while Nintendo America has done NOTHING and the game is already at half a million...

Last I heard, NCL's marketing campaign wasn't all too impressive.

Was anyone else expecting one last hurrah after the final boss fight?  After Bowser fell into the lava/star, I kind of figured he'd come back out as some kind of giant star-powered monster.  Instead, he crawled back out and got all emo about his failing plans.  It was a satisfying and epic battle, but the events that followed had me expecting either a thrilling escape sequence or a "Now you'll see my true power" second boss fight.

NCL? Nintendo Japan?

I don't know about you, but what they did in Japan outshines what they did in the US.

Nintendo made A LOT of experience videos for Galaxy. Nintendo America just had one lame commercial.

Nintendo even went as far as to deck out subway stations with posters, banners and even some video footage! Nintendo of America just had coins.

Clearly, the amount of effort put into releasing Galaxy in Japan was better than America's take on the game.

Nintendo Europe have gone one further.I've seen constant ads for this, since a week before it launched.

On the imax cinema in London they completely covered it with a Mario Galaxy advert.

Will try and get a shot tomorrow. The current ad shown here

They should've switch the TV ads between NoA and NCL. Although is more and more obvious that ads in NA are inconsequential.

I said wow. You have to give credit where it's due, and NOE has put the rest of Nintendo to shame. I never thought I'd say that.

Maybe that proves marketing is overrated, especially for gaming?

Japan hates 3D.  They hate difficulty.  They hate traditional gaming.  They hate TV gaming.
