WOW! The fire flower is back! It's about damned time.

Oh and hammer bros and tanooki suit were epic. If they were in SMG the world . . . NAY the GALAXY would explode (or implode) from awesomeness.

Rarity does not equate uselessness.

For example, the Shoe is only in a single level, but everyone loves it.

As for the Tanuki Suit, it was incredibly cool. You got the powers of Racoon Mario with the additional power to turn to stone and avoid being attacked by any and everything. Very Useful.

The Hammer Bros. Suit was also Awesome, and made you a weapon of Mass Destruction.

Totally different; since the shoe could only be used in one level, there was no incentive not to use it. If there's only a single Hammer Bros suit (maybe two, my memory is foggy) in the entire game you're going to want to hold onto it for when you really need it. Next thing you know, the game's over and you never got to try it out.

The fire flower isn't going to work, there's no air in space

Then how does Mario survive?

In Mario Land 2, didn't Mario have a space suit?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #232 on:** August 21, 2007, 09:36:01 AM »

He had a fishbowl for a space helmet in Super Paper Mario.

Mario's hat protects him from significant harm in Mario 64.

So Europe will get it 4 days after the US?
I find it hard to believe...but if it is true, people here will be playing it before me!! OH NOES!!

ShreddersDojo · « **Reply #235 on:** August 22, 2007, 04:34:53 AM »

Any release date for US yet? I didn't see it in the last few pages.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #236 on:** August 22, 2007, 05:05:53 AM »

November 12th!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #237 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:08:34 AM »

UNACCEPTABLE

I haven't really been following this game very closely because I'm going to pick it up on day one regardless so what's the point, right?

In a recent NWR podcast there was discussion about Galaxy being too easy because Mario could take a lot of damage before dying. However, in recent screen shots, such as the one below it appears as if Mario only has three life bars.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #239 on:** September 09, 2007, 01:32:04 PM »

NWR just being behind the times... =3

(The decreased life bar has been around since E3!)

Even if you disregard the lifebar, Galaxy won't be too easy. NWR themselves posted a roundtable interview with Miyamoto, and this is what was said about the difficulty..

Q: Sunshine's harder levels were a hardcore player's dream. Galaxy is supposed to be for everyone, so are there harder levels in Galaxy the hardcore player?

This is a question he's struggled with for a long time. Lots of people on staff thought Sunshine was hard, which closed a barrier for new players. But difficulty is what made the game fun for people, some others thought. The experience of running and jumping with Mario is fun by itself, but there should be difficulty for the right of satisfaction. The game was actually fairly easy until a few months ago when Miyamoto went in and made the game harder. The development team started to get worried that it would be too hard at one point. There are special challenges in the game that Miyamoto hopes that we will find challenging.

You sure? This came from Lasse who just played the game at Leipzig two weeks ago.

Absolutely positive... =)

So I went ahead and pre-ordered it on Amazon so I can have it shipped to a friend in the US and shipped back to me.
I'll cancel it if I can find it on Ebay as I always do but I freaked out thinking it might be completely sold out (hey! you never know...)

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #244 on:** September 20, 2007, 06:23:25 AM »

I used to preorder everything...but now I don't. You never know if another store will break release date...or if the store you preordered at will get enough.

To me it is just safer to search for it the day it comes out and there is something special and cool about that search.

Ghisy · « **Reply #245 on:** September 20, 2007, 08:25:46 AM »

Well, I can't go around looking for it since I'm in Europe! lol
I just want make sure I'll get a copy, that's all.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #246 on:** September 20, 2007, 08:39:31 AM »

I didn't exactly hate Sunshine, I just thought the Classic levels were out of sync with the rest of the game and they should have all been optional instead of some of them being required to move the story along. Regardless of how many shines you had, if you hadn't done so many levels per area you couldn't get the story to move along properly and couldn't open up the rest of the game. I just hope that Galaxy has a much better balance.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #247 on:** September 20, 2007, 09:31:17 AM »

Sunshine should have been nothing BUT the classic levels.

Stogi · « **Reply #248 on:** September 20, 2007, 10:52:54 AM »

So I Just thought of something really cool.

What would the Galaxy version of the koopa shell be? I hope it's a jet-pack!

That is absolutely right. I really wish Nintendo would make a game like that, maybe as something that wouldn't take as long, using the Galaxy engine, for next year, which apparently doesn't have any games at all, at least according to some people.
