Um, yeah, that took a lot of work considering Galaxy's been out less than a month. In addition to the photoshopping of the golden DS, there's the low-poly-count version of the first couple stages on the DS screen.

Very nicely done.... I think it's actually more authentic-looking than the "Nintendo On" hoax, because rather than trying to look professional they made it look like a leak.

Unless it's actually not a hoax, in which case, you know, woohoo. But if it is a hoax, someone still took the time to render a low-poly version of a Mario Galaxy level, and if that was actually running on the DS, that's huge whether it comes from Nintendo or some DS ubernerd.

Must be fake, Nintendo would never do that.
Or maybe they didn't keep an eye on one of their employees, and because he was bored he made a DS version of the game. Fire that slacker!

The video contains SPOILARS!! >.<

Don't you think the title should be "Nintendo Hoax" since it's so obviously fake it doesn't qualify as a rumour?

And if it was real, those who had finished with 120 stars twice would know by now.

The character models for the "Wii game" are totally different to the real ones. Nice job, though Smilie

121 stars. i really want a ds version of mario with galaxy style gameplay mechanics. i would play that forever.

Darkflame 12.12.2007#7

You know, Id say that is real.
Maybe not in the game, but it looks far far too good for a quickly made fake.

Animating low-poly charecters running around spheres is bloody hard.

Also, put a bloody spoiler warning on this PLEASE.
Some of us avoiding the lugia thing till now >_<

See what I mean? You shoulda listened, it's such a great spoiler, it's painful stuff. ;-(

I don't think it's real, infact, I don't see how it could possibly be. Models are different, scale is wrong, "new Galaxy" is just E3 Demo world, not to mention I've done all the tasks mentioned in the video:

Show Spoiler

And I have found no such thing. Not to mention I don't think the DS is advanced enough to download demo such an incredible looking game.

Also, didn't Oni mention that the video has something the DS cannot do? *looks for other thread*

EDIT: Texture filtering, that's it Smilie

I don't think this was made to trick anyone I think it was made to say "Wouldn't it be cool if they did this"

Darkflame 12.12.2007#10

"I don't think it's real, infact, I don't see how it could possibly be. Models are different, scale is wrong"

Thats precisely why it looks real.

Theres no way you could have actual mario galaxy on the DS.
But a a lower poly version is probably just vaguely possible.

DS only has 3000ish polygon limit, 6000 if you do two pass's a frame, but that restricts you in other ways.

As for texture filtering...yes, doing that on the ds in a practical game would be hard. (it would have such a insanely low frame rate).

However, with the compression, I dont think it has texture filtering in this video.

Its hard to tell, but if a fake is this realistic and with such effort, unticking a filtering option on max/maya/whatever isnt going to be much effort.

Well if someone actually made it as a demo... then don't you think it has a chance of being released to the web?

Personally I think it was just a little tribute to say "wouldn't it be cool if you could do this". I mean this game deserves tributes. Smilie
