It would have to be today to be any use since marketing this game is cutting it close already

:( I want a demo but I guess that would be ok.

yeah the more I think about it the more I feel it would be stupid for Nintendo not to have one up today... they update the Wii Store on mondays and the embargo ends at the exact time we see new monday games on the channel

so... hmmm I hope they do it

It'd be great if the 'Everybody's Nintendo Channel' launched today, there's a lot of holiday games people may be interested in.

I can't imagine how many units this thing will sell. Bye bye Super Mario Bros. 3

EktorPR · (10-15-2007, 01:40 PM)

Hopefully it will sell A LOT. A game like this shouldn't be trounced by the likes of Halo or Unreal Tournament III.

And then tell me what Mario Galaxy looks like, besides amazing.

I want them to make a whole game like the side scrolling bit at the end of the stream, it would be great to have a new side scrolling Mario possibly on WiiWare.

I metioned it in Chris Remo's thread, but for those following this one, my minute-by-minute report of Galaxy's first hour is up:

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/...ort/#more-1376

An excerpt:

9:37
Mario wakes up on a floating planetoid. This one is small. It is covered in grass and set against the backdrop of black space. Mario can run all around this thing, without fear of falling off, encircling the thing in seconds. This is the game’s main gimmick, revealed eight minutes in.

A rabbit appears, asking to be chased, shades of “Super Mario 64.” He’s a little tricky to catch. It’s clearly an intentionally tough challenge, designed to get players so focused on the chase that they will have run several laps around the spherical object Mario is set on before they realize what an odd twist on gravity, cameras and sense of direction the game presents. In a Nintendo era of handholding casual gamers and the easiest “Zelda” yet, this is an unexpected shove into the deep end. The player is forced to catch three more rabbits.

I think back to last Thanksgiving. I recall my dad “getting” the Wii in just a few seconds when I showed him “Wii Sports” bowling. He was bowling like a pro in no time. This rabbit-chasing, however, would be, I think, beyond him. Nintendo’s still kind of hardcore.

I pause the game and learn that I am in a mission called “Grand Star Rescue.” It makes me think of the phrase “Grand Theft Auto” and I briefly wonder if Nintendo is making a joke. After all, performing a GSR sure sounds like the happy, magical opposite of pulling a GTA. But I don’t wonder too long because the clock is ticking.

I experiment with the game’s camera controls. For the most part you don’t control the camera. It follows Mario as he runs around. But you can zoom the view in and out. Also, pressing up on the d-pad locks into a fixed first-person view for scanning the surroundings. Movement isn’t permitted. The first-person looking is done with the analog stick, which doesn’t feel good at all and makes me wonder if the game’s development team at Nintendo Tokyo has played any “Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.”

Why
my post was for new screens etc on this game. So why create a new one, when one exists?

titiklabingapat · (10-18-2007, 12:14 PM)

Out of all 40 Mario Galaxy threads made in the last 3 months you choose to bump the one that was derailed on page 1? And yet you still ask me WHY not post them in here?

DIrtyWeasel · (10-18-2007, 12:28 PM)

Lighting torches? Reminds me of Zelda.

I think it might actually be time for the Official Super Mario Galaxy Thread. It's only 3 weeks away.

I decoded the QR code on the site, gave me this. But that doesn't open in my browser ("403 Forbidden"). Could someone try it with their fancy online mobile phones? Maybe it's the whole theme.

Because that's probably the download page of the website, you know, with wallpapers etc.

Yeah boy howdy did you silence the haters.

I mean, yeah. Look around. They're totally silenced.

Your ability to silence the haters is only eclipsed by the quantity of fun which Super Mario Galaxy embodies.

THANK YOU SAINT NICK FOR COMING EARLY THIS YEAR

Wii · (10-18-2007, 01:20 PM)

Looks like they split the one galaxy they showed at E3 2006 into 3 ones and then added lots of stuff to make them full sized.

Wii · (10-18-2007, 01:23 PM)

Fuck the main theme orchestrated is just so amazing!

Hope they recorded Smash Brothers Brawl's music while they still had the orchestra :P

thanks for the new AV.

RagnarokX · 02:01 PM

there are 4 galaxies in the galaxies section too, all of them have videos now. The Honeybee Galaxy video shows that the FLUDD nozzle sits on the ground and shoots bubbles into the air for Mario to fly around in... also the bug boss is there.

And the stardust galaxy video shows off koopa shells as an item and a new boss.

Also, in the spring mario video, I think I see the return of another obscure mario enemy: mechakoopas from SMW :D
