alextherussian

Possibly, but not the one that I am looking for.

Here's a hint: Machinima.

u said innovator was teh start of the genre, while I said the innovator was the top game in the genre wat else is there to say

kinda obvious

KevinButlerVP

So you basically redefined a word then. If thats honestly the case there really is no point in further posting. It would be akin to me bashing my head against a brick wall.

Game has AAA on lock. Looks amazing. Maybe it'll score even higher.... ;)

Great thread, Thunderdrone!

sooo, say I'm making ucnarted 3... would I be innovated and inspired by gears 1 graphics and gameplay or U2 graphics and gameplay?? the innovator is always the best and the target, once again you can see by what cliff said

KevinButlerVP

U2, as that was the game that was before yours, so that's the one which was relevant.

[QUOTE="alextherussian"][QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] you're right about R&C, can't rally say the same about U2 and Tomb Raider but you never responded to my comment about LBP ;)KevinButlerVP

An innovator can be both the beginning and the revolutionary.

Inspired is a different word Inspired =\= Innovated Have a good dayKevinButlerVP

seems hypocritical of you to point out that I never responded, and you

Im right here...

edit: and your still wrong

Fantastic job Thunder, just as I expected. :)

Anyone who says this game doesn't have AAA on lockdown is just a hater. :x

The Official Nintendo Magazine (U.K.) is not counted as part of gamerankings average, so I do not know whether to count it.

GotM, it will score AAA.

New video: Luigi Gameplay

Sequal to the game of the gen so far...could even be a 10.

first time I see the ballons getting popped by shooting stars, awesome

AAA to AAAA. If there is to be ANY game that becomes AAAAE for the Wii, this would be it. This has the best chance at AAAA (10) imo. Think about this, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a main MARIO current generation Wii game. :o Can it even have less than AAA hype.

I can't imagine. It's been long waited for and it's going to use one of the highest rated metascores ever this generation, Super Mario Galaxy 1 (97 at Metacritic!), as the building blocks for a sequel? All that refinement from Super Mario Galaxy 1? Hello! :P

Super Mario Galaxy 1 got a 9.5 here at Gamespot, and this game will be the refined, polished version of that 9.5 ultra game?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be an epic event.

NINTENDO said this about SMG2 : "The new title is meant to be an "Ultimate 3D Mario," developed by Nintendo's Tokyo development team over a two and a half year period."

Sequel to the game of the gen so far...could even be a 10.

Kan0nF0dder

Yeah, exactly. To be safe, I voted AAA, but this in all honesty when you think about it, This game has the potential to be the Wii's AAAAE. This would be THE GAME if there is going to be a game. Mario Games stand the test of time.

9.5+

Awesome thread TC!

i think this could gat a ten and actually deserve it, inlike this gens AAAAs...

Nintendo Japan has finally shed some light on the bonus DVD that's being bundled with Super Mario Galaxy 2. The details came from CEO Satoru Iwata during an investors briefing today. You can see a (Japanese) transcript of that briefing here.

Titled "Hajimete no Super Mario Galaxy 2," or "First Super Mario Galaxy 2," the DVD is meant to be a beginners manual for playing a 3D Mario. The DVD is being included to address concerns fans of the 2D Mario games have with controlling a 3D Mario, a concern Iwata said is prevalent.

The DVD menu. From top to bottom,

Basics (for beginners),

Practical Use (for those who played the original)

and Special Videos.

During the briefing, Iwata addressed that little bit of irony about including a DVD with a Wii game. He suggested that this might be an advantage for players, as they'll be able to put the DVD in their separate DVD player and consult it while playing Galaxy 2. (heh)

Iwata also gave Mario Galaxy 2 a big general push at the briefing, speaking about it more than any other title. He noted that the first Galaxy sold 8.84 million units worldwide, of which 1.01 million came from Japan and 4 million from North America. The new title is meant to be an "Ultimate 3D Mario," developed by Nintendo's Tokyo development team over a two and a half year period.

I really do not understand why controlling a 3D Mario is a problem for Japanese gamers, unless it is something cultural like their issue with first-person shooters (which are not popular in Japan). With the exception of Super Mario 64, the 3D Mario games do not sell well compared to their 2D counterparts. The DVD may change this.

By the way, the Andriasang.com article made mention that the original Super Mario Galaxy finally sold over one million copies in Japan which I thought may never happen.

A solid 9.0. Great thread Thunderdrone.

Off topic: btw how are you liking PES 2010? I just got it a couple of weeks ago and I like it.

Obvious AAAE and GOTY potential. Frankly wouldn't be surprised at an AAAAE either.

Oh, and max props to Thunderdome. Very nice thread!

Yeah I need to get better at it though since I have been busy the past week. However, I'll be playing it a lot during the World Cup.

Still improving my playstyle, but the controls are fantastic so far.
