I don't care when Super Mario Galaxy comes out as long as it surpasses SMB3 and SM64. Nintendo should strive for the same insumounterable quality that they achieved with Twilight Princess with Super Mario Galaxy. I want Super Mario to blow me away. I don't want another Sunshine. NEW Super Mario Bros. is my GOTY as of right now because Nintendo took all the time in the world to make that game the most awesome shit since SM64/SMW.
Honestly, the Nintendo Tokyo team I have no faith in. Yes they created DK: JB which was a good game in itself. But this is Mario. Mario is my favorite vg character and obviously my favorite video game series. I don't want Sunshine part 2. I want a Mario that when I browse through GAF or I talk to my gamer friends they tell me "Holy shit this is the best Mario ever!". If Nintendo sees that they're about to release Sunshine 2, then I ****ing hope they can that shit because to me thats just as bad if not worth than Shadow the Hedgehog FFS. But now if they have a Mario thats superbly fun, that every jump you do illicits a child-like joy in your heart, every 1-up you receive is asking you to progress further in the game, every new power up makes you even more badass, and platforming play that is challenging but yet asking you for more... thats what I want. I expect honestly nothing less. My expections are high? Way so, and I know even irrationally so. But if there's a Sunshine: the blithering coming out next year, then I know that Nintendo does not care about the Mario franchise and all they care about is Zelda.
