New footage from GDC.

At the end of Miyamoto's keynote address, a lengthy trailer of Super Mario Galaxy was shown. We are pleased to bring that video to you now thanks to Nintendo and YouTube.

The awesomeness that is Mario! Definately cannot wait for this title to appear on the gaming retail shelves. It's a shame to have to wait 6+ months probably for it, but for another classic Mario game, it will be worth it.

Just saw it...

WOW.

The game looks magical and beautiful. The scenes where Mario is flying through space is awe inspiring, and those boss fights look crazy.

The art style is fantastic. Those that think the Wii is severely underpowered should look at this.

Mario galaxy is officially one of my most wanted games on the Wii!

This does look pretty damn cool.

I also get more of the Mario 64 vibe off of this...

I get a Mario 64/Sunshine vibe because I loved both games :-P:. BTW the video is stunning, the visuals are jaw dropping gorgeous and the game looks to be one of the unique titles PERIOD coming out this year.

My Mario 64 vibes are stronger, though.

Mario Sunshine was a fun game with some crazy and beautiful levels, but it lack that magic, that sense of awe you got whenever you entered a new world.

Mario galaxy, on the other hands, looks like it could feature worlds that will awe and amaze you when you first discover them.

If this is what they have planned for Mario, I can't WAIT to see what they have planned for Zelda...

I love how the game just screams "Hey look, we have fun making videogames!" So many small details that make the artistic flair of this game all the more apparent...(I especially loved the extending vine and the volcano erupting as Mario blasts off!)

Bloodworth · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2007, 08:35:03 AM »

It's really cool, but my mind is bending in terms of structure. It's going to be crazy to explore.

If only Nintendo had any artistic talent, it would be amazing.

Yeah, the Wii's a piece of sh*t...

I watched about half of the video and then it turned it off because all this cool stuff was being shown that probably would have more impact if I first found out about it while playing. The game looks great and it looks fun as hell.

Though I've noticed the backgrounds look much better than Mario himself. He seems a little out of place. His textures are more bland and he has a bit of jagginess to him. I wonder if Nintendo just shoved in that Gamecube Mario model they used in virtually every game. The planets and everything though looks fantastic.

...You have a point, Ian.

This will be the last I see of Galaxy. I want to keep the game a great surprise.

And yeah, the Mario model does look weird.

My guess is that the Mario model will be improved before it comes out, at the moment they are probably more focused on designing the enviroments and enemies (which still look mindblowing).

What will be better: this or Super Paper Mario? Either way, I win!

Mario Galaxy is a game that I don't get excited about in my head, but when I watch videos or think back to when I played it, the infatuation kicks in. Like Dan, I'm bewildered by the level design and am still shocked that Nintendo has found a way (or they think they've found a way) to piece together these very loose environments and somehow wrap the player's mind around the changing gravity and camera angles. This game is 3D in a way that few others have even attempted, much less succeeded. If Nintendo pulls it off, I think Galaxy may be remembered as even more revolutionary than Super Mario 64. It already looks more fun.

I wonder if that EA ass hat is eating his words about nintendo not being artistic and having such a crippled machine. And this game looks just amazing a GOTY material.

They're really going after want I eventually wanted out of 3D Mario: a total mind-fuhk.

Mario 64 was great and all as it implemented 3D. But as time went on, it and many more 3D games (FPSs, notoriously) are still dominated by traversal on 2D planes/floors. It's a natural setting, afterall, but it took so long for a high-profile game to tackle the task of expanding the notion of the "playing field" further.

I'd argue the most exhilirating moments of Mario 64 involve the Wing Cap, thanks to its sharply contrasted sense of freedom (and danger?) from the typical platforming -- aspects Mario Sunshine severly lacked (way too terrestrial, not enough time spent grasping for the heavens)

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #23 on:** March 08, 2007, 09:45:15 AM »

I am most interested to see how Miyamoto uses the Wiimote besides what was shown in the demo units! Things could get crazy.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2007, 09:56:43 AM »

Looks cool but I miss the straightforward platforming and acrobatics.
