I think this game will be like Super Mario World. They might end up ditching some of the things which didn't work so well in the first game, but it will be a very refined experience.

Ah that is too bad, I hope NSMB Wii takes up the slack.

Nothing needs to be more refined, but even great games can be made better.

2010 means Holiday 2010. It'll be a full 3 years since the original.

Definitely looking forward to this one as I absolutely LOVED Galaxy. My question is where's Rosalina?

I'm sorry Mario, but your Rosalina is in another Galaxy.

This is better than Super Mario 64 not getting a sequel during the N64 cycle.

Sadly it didn't get one during the GC cycle either.

Mario was absent from the GC era, like Metroid on N64.

I love Yoshi's power ups, he will definately play a larger roll this time around. Flipping around with his tongue is pretty cool, as well as the infaltion thing. I was kind of surprised to see Bee Mario, I really thought we would see nothing but brand new power ups... Hey I wonder can I get Bee Mario and Yoshi at the same time? Any way I expected the fire flower to return, but not much else. Hopefuly there will be a nice new handful of new power ups.

Just saw the trailer and it is great.

broodwars · « **Reply #15 on:** June 02, 2009, 02:16:48 PM »

I'm glad Nintendo's releasing the game for those who really loved Mario Galaxy, but honestly I was rather "meh" about Galaxy and this looks like a glorified expansion pack to that game with Yoshi levels. Nothing really new or interesting, just more of the same with Yoshi. I'm sure it'll be good from an objective standpoint, but it just doesn't excite me.

EAD Tokyo has alot on their hands for this game. How can they really make SMG2 more perfect then Galaxy? Galaxy was absolute perfection.

When they showed the trailer I was secretly hoping it'd be a 64 sequel, but I'll take what I can get!

Exactly. And some of the terrain did as well. Thats when my hope started to rise, as I thought this might pick up where 64 left off with Yoshi standing on top of the castle with nothing to do. Oh well.

Some of my favorite levels in SMG were the more traditionally designed ones.

I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy a lot lately. It's a really great game, comparable to Super Mario 64 in quality.

What's interesting though is that I can't say for certain exactly WHY it's so good and Super Mario Sunshine is so lame. The planet stuff isn't the reason. If anything the planet stuff can be annoying since it sometimes makes the camera go bonkers and is disorienting. It just seems to be a well designed game that is really fun to play and Super Mario Sunshine wasn't. So while playing I think to myself "there is no reason a Mario game taking place on flat land couldn't be this good."

So Super Mario Galaxy 2? Awesome! But I'm kinda thinking "what if?" in regards to design. Nintendo certainly shouldn't think that they have to follow the Galaxy template and that this planet stuff is the way to go for ever and ever. Super Mario Sunshine is really kind of like if you made a Zelda game that just happened to not have that great of dungeon design in it. I think switching to the planet thing is a red herring. The game is better because it just has better designed levels that are more fun to play.

I think this proves you and Brood are one of the same. ::boils with anger::

I may fly right off the handle.

What exactly would qualify as a sequel to Super Mario 64? How was Super Mario Sunshine not a sequel to Super Mario 64? How is Super Mario Galaxy by extension not a sequel to Super Mario 64?

I always chuckle whenever I hear somebody claim a game is perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect game, every game can always be better. That's probably why we're seeing a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy; as great as it is, Nintendo probably feel they can do even better.

Hmmp... Mario Galaxy was OK, but frankly a disappointment for me. It has lost some major factors that made M64 so good. First off, and most important, it was WAAAY to linear for my liking. In SM64 in the first level, you could get: The king bomb-om star, or the chain chomp star, the 8 red coin star, or the 100 coin star. Anyways, what I am saying is that Mario Galaxy was broke up like this: 1. Go to small planet. 2. find every piece to every jumping star. 3. fly to new planet. 4. repeat steps 1-3 until you reach a planet with a star.... Pretty boring. There is NO REAL exploration, you are stuck on a god forsaken rock in space, Super Mario sunshine had colorfull levels, no black holes, multiple paths, and you can explore and HAVE FUN.

Now there are lots of thing I DO like about Galaxy, such as the gravity element, the bosses, the humor, and the graphics, but still... The few levels that were open to explore (land levels vs. space rocks) where fun, such as the bumble bee stage.

Finally as for Mario Galaxy two, I will give it a shot. It has potential. But from the video it still has those dreaded purple coins! Man, I hate those...

All we can do is to hope for the best!
