Does anyone else wish the new Mario game wasn't another "Galaxy" game?

I think Mario Galaxy was one of the best games for the Wii, but I really wish that Nintendo made a whole new formula instead of outer-space and planets. I know that there will obviously be new things in Galaxy 2, but it from what we've seen so far, it's more like downloadable content to extend the gameplay of the original. It has the good old bee costume, theball you roll on,the same kind of atmosphere, etc.

Yes there are new cool things like riding Yoshi, new suits and areas, but I really think that they could've made a whole new Mariouniverse. Maybe a reason for them making a sequel to the old game was because the original was so successful? I'm not sure, but it would've been cool if Nintendo created a totally new formula, kind of like they did from Mario 64 to Mario Sunshine to Mario Galaxy, if you know what I mean.

Even so, this is the second major Mario platformer on the Wii and I don't remember if previous systems had that. I just feel like a lot of the things that I'll see in the new Galaxygame will be very familiar and it would be cool if we saw something totally new. Still, I'm excited! :P

For a new console yes... for a sequel on the smae im fine.

No. Mario Galaxy was pretty cool, more is better.

I wish it was different. I got dizzy playing the first one and could only play in short bursts. Still a great game but want to play for long periods of time.

I'm fine with it.

There is potential for so much creativity, variety and themes in each individual level in Mario Galaxy that I don't think the formula is anywhere near being worn out.

The only sequel to a 3-D mario platformer I ever wanted was Mario 64 2!

As there's no new hardware 'thing' I don't see why they should

N64 = 3D

GC had just graphics = F.L.U.D.D.

Wii = you know what

Wii 2 = ???? :D

No, Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best games this generation and Miyamoto has made it very clear there was more potential with the Galaxy set up. Everything we have seen so far with SMG2 shows that there is more potential.

Nah. Save the really new stuff for the next console. I'm fine with Galaxy 2.Arc2012

Yeah I agree. And Yoshi is finally coming back in some of these games, lol. Yoshi FTW

Not at all, what we got is what we got, and what we got is a sequel to Galaxy.

The second major Mario platformer? Where is New Super Mario Bros Wii for you? It's because it's a Mario game and it's not a galaxy game.

Not really I always wanted a sequel to Mario Galaxy ever since Miyamoto said he enjoyed doing it I always felt there was more to come.

I honestly wish they would make a game like Mario 64 again, I don't like how you walk on the planets in Mario Galaxy.

And Galaxy is one of the most confusing Mario games i've ever played.

*raises hand* It looks like they're really re-inventing it though, and they slapped the Galaxy logo on the box so people would by it.

what are you expecting they did a new super mario bros wii last year isnt that different for you ,
before smg1 they did super paper mario then came galaxy , and this year is galaxy 2 ,

mario games are fun

I like the whole galaxy thing i just dont really like the camera. its never seems to be where i want it to be.

i felt like you a few months ago...but after watching the vids and news i am pumped now.

It won't be easy to follow up the Galaxy games with something that allows so much freedom and creativity in level design.

No, this realy doesn't bother me. They'll have something new for next gen.

Galaxy 2 is supposed to be more of a direct sequel.

No theres nothing wrong with another mario galaxy game save the new stuff for the next console i mean why make a new mario far different from galaxy when you can expand ideas from the first game

Nah. I think a Galaxy 2 is a good thing. Granted it does look a lot like the original, but the original was great. Bring out the new style Mario for the next Nintendo system.

I would´ve liked to see a new type of mario but I´m still pretty happy we´re getting galaxy 2

Theres no reason to change anything. SMG has so much more to offer, and the sequal is implementing a whole bunch of new ideas. Theres no reason not to have it.

Nah. Save the really new stuff for the next console. I'm fine with Galaxy 2.Arc2012

Same. I really don't know what they will do next though...

[QUOTE="Arc2012"]Nah. Save the really new stuff for the next console. I'm fine with Galaxy 2.awssk8er716

I felt the same way until I thought about it a little more. :P

If Galaxy 2 is better than the first and has a difficulty option (If I need the game to be more challenging), then I will be happy with my future purchase. Well, either way I will be happy since I always hoped for more when I beaten the first. I hope Luigi and maybe Wario appear and if galaxies aren't so linear. Maybe have the Red Star in some galaxies and fly around where ever you want. :P :)

No. SMG is one of my favorite games and the sequel looks like it's going to be even better.

Galaxy doesn't lock the devs into doing one particular think (think Mario Sunshine and the beach).

Galaxy gives devs complete freedom to do pretty much whatever.

I really liked SMG so I'm all for a sequel. Only thing I didn't like was going upside down and stuff. I found myself cranking my neck at times.

I want a 3-D Mario that doesnt play like Mario 64 with a twist.

I don't see what's wrong with Galaxy. It's a fantastish game.

The NES had one Donkey Kong game (the first game you play as Mario technicall), one Mario Bros. game and three Super Mario Bros. games. The Snes had two Super Mario World games... so it's not that unusual.

I have no problem with the setting. I like the look of SMG so it's fine by me.

It's the rest of the game that bothers me. I hated the original Galaxy. Awful camera, bad tacked-on motion-controls that could have worked much better with an analog-stick or button-press instead.

When it's pure platforming it's the best this generation. When it tries to sell motion-controls though it's one of the worst experiences I've had on the Wii.

I'ts one of my biggest disappointments this generation.
