Super Mario Galaxy Launch Center - IGN and GS Reviews GOTY Confirmed(lol)!

Title: Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii)
Release Date: November 12th '07

Game Description: Mario is walking about, enjoying a nice cool night in the town when he encounters fire balls falling from the sky. When he looked up, he found out that it was no other than Bowser terrorizing the innocence again! Bowser had plan to capture Princess Peach, and to bring the Palace with him into Space! Mario tried his best to get to her, but he was blasted into space from a magic swoop from Magic Koop! What is next? ... saving the Princess of course, in space! Mario takes a step into space to, yet again, rescue Princess Peach from the evil hands of Bowser. Join Mario in the greatest Super Mario game! Defy gravity across all the planets.

Shake, tilt and point! Mario takes advantage of all the unique aspects of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, unleashing new moves as players shake the controller and even point at and drag items with the pointer.Mario essentially defined the 3-D platforming genre with Super Mario 64, and this game proves once again that he is king. Players perform mind-bending, lowgravity jumps across wild alien terrain as they experience platforming for a new generation.

Game storyline: When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy.

Characters: Mario, Peach and enemies new and old.

How to progress through the game: Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy. Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer.

Special powers/weapons/moves/features: SinceMario isin space, Mario can perform mindbending jumps unlike anything he's done before. He'll also have a wealth of new moves that are all based around tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii Remote.

Countdown: Super Mario Galaxy has landed in store shelves!

I know me too. I can't wait for this game, I'm so hype for it! I'm getting over RE:UC :shock:. I can wait until Christmas to finish Umbrella, this game looks like just plain fun! It features mini-games (I think as of now),which gives it high quality of Replay Value and fun for all.

I'm going to do the Video Preview of it in 20 minutes, My mom's still watching tv :roll:. I have the EoNU Gameplay Video, but I'm going to post it in a Bulletin with my Preview because they both go hand and hand.

This game is looking hot. Maybe a little too hot. :P Sorry I'm bored, I should be doing my homework but meh. >__>bededog

This game looks a bit hard from what I have seen in it and I like hard games hopefully it should get at least a 9.0 but I would be surprised if it got a 9.5 but it is looking alot of fun and exciting. I am also happy it comes out in Europe a few days after the US gets it.

Does this game remind anyone of Super Mario Brothers 3 because there looks to be some cool suits in this game.

Well Gamespot has an official launch center for the game. And so far all games with official launch centers have been 9 or above.bededog

Yea, I've seen. They're giving this alot of attention, hopefully they don't over hype it like Halo 3.

Well Madden doesn't count! Why? Because football sucks that's why. And yes I'm probably the one American that doesn't give a rat's ass for football. Hell I couldn't care less for any sport outside of playing basketball, but watching basketball is boring.

i hate sports too. all of them.

oh, welll i dont know the proper definition of a sport so ill take our word for it lol.

I am gonna pre order Galaxy as soon as possible because I have a feeling it will be a huge seller for the Wii. It is the biggest game yet to appear on the Wii.chocolate1325

I think it will be too, I honestly don't think it will sell out on the first day, but you have to be careful and after what happened to me and Bioshock, I preorder all the games I really want.

Does anyone know if this game is coming out on the street date, or is it the same as any other game and coming out the day after the ship date?

well the people at my gamestop are incompetent...i know more than them. they said galaxy wasnt coming out until december 20th! :roll:

i think some site said gamestop got it, but i dont have a link to back it up.

It didn't load for me, what is it :)?

I just read the latest "Iwata Asks" interview, and it's pretty interesting.

From the sound of it, Super Mario Galaxy hasn't really been designed to be overly challenging (I'm not saying there won't be challening moments though), but still created to be very intense. Apparently, one thing they've done to make the game more intense is that they've lowered the health meter to three instead of the usual eight, so you're more likely to die more often, but to compensate there are a lot more 1UP mushrooms scattered throughout the game. Interesting for sure... go over to Wii.com to read it yourself, if you're interested.

i went to a gamestop near me, like i said, they are dumb...well not all of them. there is a prorder bonus coin when you pick the game up. here is the walmart.com one, i couldnt find any other pictures.

To tell you the true, that coin sucks. I honestly don't care if I don't get it, I thought it was the actually Ones in all the Mario games with the little one on it, the real Mario coins, not Mario with a star on it.

thats what i thought too, but i like it. i just wish it was a ario coin and not a mario coin if you know what i mean.ThePrince8605

Ario, :lol: No I don't know what you mean.

Do you know what would be cool but seems unlikely what about a demo of one level in the game just to see how the controls work and what kind of game we are getting.I doubt it will happen though.chocolate1325

It's only like 20 days away, I couldn't see that happening.
