You can only refill SOME of your health by holding the Wii remote upright. They didn't say specifically how much.

But if everyone stopped condemning games before playing them and acted reasonably, we wouldn't have a forum

True.

Super Mario Galaxy 3 is gonna be so crappy. ;-)

I hope they never make that one, two galaxies is already stretching it. Galaxy 2 is pretty much Galaxy Lost Levels and we know how Nintendo treated the real SMB2j because it offered so little change. Mario games used to be more dramatically different.

No they weren't.  The first SMB and SMB2j are similar to each other and Bros 3 and World are also very similar to each other.  Hell you even mentioned SMB2j in your statement.  Plus on the Gameboy, Mario Land 2 and Wario Land 1 are also very similar to each other, which is one of the reason Wario Land 1 is called Mario Land 3.  The only old Mario game that was truly different was SMB2 USA and that's because it originally wasn't even a Mario game.  Not to mention Nintendo planned on releasing a Mario 64 2 that was basically going to be an expansion of Mario 64 for the 64DD, but never got around to it because of the failure of the 64DD.

It's one thing to not be exited about Galaxy 2 but don't act like Nintendo never used to do this with the Mario series when in reality, this is what they've always done with the series.

The "Galaxy" scene has been done. I doubt I'll be buying SMG2 because I got my fill of that sort of game with SMG1. Nintendo should have done something different with Mario instead of rehashing him being in space.

I was thinking a Mario game where he travels through time would be kick-ass and have lots of potential.

The trailer showed a bunch of non-space stuff, just good stable-gravity floating platforms.

And oh no, New Super Mario used themed worlds like Mario 3.  And oh no, Mario World used themed islands to be slightly different from Mario 3.

And once again, this is no different then what Nintendo did with Mario World back in the day.  Everyone who's b!tching about Galaxy 2 being a rehash better hate Mario World then or else your hypocrites.  You can't complain about one game for being a rehash, but then praise another game that was a rehash.

Mario's Time Machine was an awesome game? ;)

Actually, that was the game that made me think of a time-traveling Mario game. I got that game when I was a kid back in the SNES era and I expected some good whole-some Mario platforming with some sort of a time machine. Boy, was I in for a rude awakening... lol.

But the idea does have merit and is worth considering.

I played the Mario is Missing game on the PC. I actually enjoyed that one. It was good for an edutainment title. Never tried Time Machine, though.

It's okay as an edutainment game, but of course that doesn't say much at all...

When it's the only way you can get your parents to let you play games on school nights it's the best game ever. ;)

True... I wouldn't mind checking it out again for old time's sake, and might even be interested in a sequel. Even though the game is geared towards children, there's stuff Adults could learn from it as well and it is fun in any case.

Wonder if we'll ever see it on the VC at some point. There's really no reason it can't be done, because Nintendo owns it.
