Super Mario Galaxy 2 Official Thread

Isn't myamoto now mostly involved in directing directors, instead of executing the game development? I always wonder what decisions are his. He made some brilliant games, yes, but f-zero was at its peak at gx (still love that game), metroid at the primes, dk at the 64's, and he even thought little of jet force gemini - a masterpiece of a game. All of these and more shined at the hands of others, not his.

Not that he isn't superskilled and pioneered games to insane levels (I mean, pikmin is a load of genius) but lots of the most memorable moments come from the teams that were separated from him.

Or am I completely off key here...?

Cloud Mario need gameplay now :b

Ugh don't show me anymore of these crappy pictures, I hate this game with a passion and will never ever play this garbage game.

Disclaimer: Everything said above by Simes is a ruse set-up by himself so to turn down his hype. Garbage = awesome, crap = amazing, hate = love, never = forever. DO NOT mistake for a troll as he has every intention of buying Super Mario Galaxy and forcing you to buy it as well.

The most exciting aspect I've seen from Super Mario Galaxy 2, so far. I really can't wait to see how it works.

I'm glad they have added more new suits. It will make the game more fresh, in my opinion.

Yeah I loved the power suits but I think the flying one was useless.

Yeah here's hoping the Flying Star returns as a power up that can be used more often.

I like how many powerups there are but did the Bee Suit, Boo Suit and Spring Suit really have to return? I didn't think any of them were particularly good.

I only like them suits in their respected levels, not outside of them.

I don't like the look of star Mario in Galaxy, he looks like a jelly bean man.

Star Mario? Must have missed that one?

LMAO haha tx for that one lol!

LOOK WHO BACK!!!!

Yep, now all we need is confirmation of him being playable, and that's one less worry on my mind

And after that I just need Rosalina to be in the game properly in some way, then I'll be like, happy.

Isn't it obvious Mario will be playable? What are you 2 babbling on about?

GameTrailers have posted up a ton of new gameplay videos.

I didn't hear any music that rivalled the first game in any of the videos.

Some nice clear screenshots. Rock Suit Mario looks really nice.

I'm a little disappointed with the opening lacking anime FMV at all... it seems incredibly simplified, no doubt a side effect of Miyamoto's iron rule and ban on plots.

And as for Luigi, it would seem he's only playable for certain parts of stages, unlike in SMG1 where he was fully playable... this has been echoed by people on Neogaf too, so it's a shame :/

As for the stages though they look great, can't wait

Have kinda been on a media blackout of this one, but from what I hear Luigi isn't the 120 star unlockable now. So who or what is?

Oh yeah, looks like Edge has given out another 10.

I'm a little surprised EDGE gave it a 10. I will reserve my full judgement till when I get to play the game, but I honestly don't see it being as good as Galaxy was. From what I've seen so far, there's things about it that just look a bit lazy.

Like Superlink mentioned, the lack of any plot, lack of high quality FMV cut-scenes, a dull map screen and recycled Mario music, which isn't even recycled from Galaxy, but older Mario games. Even Luigi only being playable on certain stages is a disappointment. Unless there's an even better unlockable at the end of the game (I really hope so, otherwise I'll be really disappointed).

@ Jim
No it's not a joke, Galaxy's opening and ending were spectacular, but SMG2's are just as shallow and pointless as NSMBW's. It's very disappointing.
