I am getting this close ][ to have my first personal meltdown on GAF. The level of trolling has reached GFAQs levels. You could almost excuse it as just someone's opinion but it happens too fast, too often, too focused and too predictably to be anything but viral. In the last 3 threads I've entered, I've seen mulitple blanket statements like this against Metroid, Kid Icarus, Zelda and now SM64 (of all games).ant1532 said:

Absolutely pathetic part deux
So its like when you were a kid playing a 1 player game and then had a friend over that thought he was controlling the bad guys but he actually is? That's awesome.

I think it's more like the Tingle Tuner where your friend could bomb the hell out of you and waste all your rupies.
These screens scare me. In nearly all of them, I can't figure out how you would play them. Square planets? What can you do on something so small and cube-ish. Boo levels with long hallways? Is this a stealth mission? How am I going to dodge all those cannon balls? You need 2d sidescroller level of control to do that.
Ug. My mind.
Ug. My mind.

What I would've liked to see more in SMS (which I thought was very good) was more stages like the construction area. Even more complex platforming with the excellent water pack. Bee Mario and the levels we've seen so far get my hopes up for something like this.

I loved them. I think they were some of the best things to come from the mario games in years. It just felt like pure platforming to me. Completeing the difficult ones was so satisfying. They had just the right balance of skill/luck as well.

Hmm.... the best game ever? (Until Mario Dimensions is released in 2012)

Hype +10000000
Platforming is my favorite genre, I can't wait for this game...
I loved Sunshine and one of the reasons was the tightness of the control: when you jump, you know exactly where you're going to land or how far you'll go...
That's exactly the type of control I'm expecting from Galaxy...
I think that kind of perfection in control is what a lot of platformers (or even other genres with jumping elements) need and are sadly missing...

looks really good. Though the space level looks better than all the others. Art design is nice. LPB is the most interesting platform hyprid personally, but nice to see mario is bringing something new. The next big progression in the series
But, but Miyamoto has completely losted his mind and now he conly can do games for girlz and Nintendogs!!11!!!!
Talking seriously, once you start playing the game you will really see how much of a good addition the spinning attack was. To jump in a sphere / non flat surface with variable gravity is very, very tricky and hard. If every enemy would have had to be killed on that way this game would be almost unplayable. Great design decision.
Yep, that's exactly how you will feel with this game and that's an awesome feeling
seriously, the main attraction of the game is exactly that: nothing ever repeats. The feeling of wonder and novelty is constant, even when you have been playing for more than half an hour, is still there. As someone said, this game will bring peace on Earth. Or even better: peace on GAF. This might be the first game that is universally un - trolled in GAF.Dragona Akehi said:Only americans spell colour incorrectly. Queen's English ftw.

Actually, I was of the understanding that there WAS a "queen's English", which is a bit different than the English everyone else on the isles speak.
I will continue to use color and aluminum, although I am partial to grey.
This has been my most anticipated game ever. When I was 6 years old and SM64 came out it had the biggest impact on me out of any game ever. I was obsessed with that game, played it constantly after getting all 120 stars(which only took me a month to get at 6 ) I followed Mario 128 in stories in EGM, Next Gen, and Nintendo Power and was hoping for Super Mario 64 2 but nothing ever happened with that as we all know.
So yeah, Galaxy really is the biggest game ever to come out for me since SM64. But I still get annoyed at people acting like Galaxy is the first 3D Mario platformer to have a desert world and all that.

You know, I think this game actually makes perfect sense as the true evolution of the series. The screen shots clearly support that -- but so does the name. Has anyone even noticed that yet? I'm going to cut this down and not mention all Mario games released -- so bear with me.
Super Mario
Super Mario 2
Super Mario Land
Super Mario 3
Mario WORLD
Yoshi's Island (prequel of sorts?)
Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine (Mario goes on vacation -- some argue in more ways than one)
Super Mario GALAXY
Notice how by using the word Galaxy, Nintendo has moved on with some of the original concepts from the series. Sunshine was an obvious departure. But, Mario Land, Mario World and Mario Galaxy are all perfectly in line. I think it's safe to say Galaxy is going to spawn the entire Mario galaxy -- and we're likely going to see a little bit of everything from every world or land that Mario has ever explored.
And, how is Mario going to get to each World or Land? By Star Roads --- a la Mario World's star world travel system. We've just seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of the actual scope of the final game.
Consider me super excite!!!!!!!!!

The fact that Nintendo can have a game like Mario Galaxy running at 60FPS just shows how far behind most third parties are. There's plenty of power in the Wii to create really nice visuals, its just a case of making the effort.

I must be missing something here, I don't see what makes this look so OMG1 amazing in the slightest.
KyotoMecca said:
Well beside the gameplay possibilities present in the concept of platforming through space on hundreds of tiny and huge planets/lands with multiple levels of gravity (LSD platformer multiplied by awesome, insane and win), it's also the best looking Wii game - aka, a game that FINALLY uses the other duct taped Gamecube - with phenomenal artistic direction, rim lighting, fantastic image quality and vibrant and attractive worlds.
But that's just from my perspective, what looks amazing to you may be different!

Or, I'm fully waiting for some 3rd party to raise a stink about how Nintendo is slow on the release of all dev tools. Or documentation. Just saying. Or maybe that's just the natural advantage to developing hardware.brain_stew said:
Then again, MS and Sony are in the same predicament and they aren't in the same predicament where their 1st class devs are completely above the rest. Nintendo is great but I can't really see why this is so. All devs aren't lazy, right? Each and every one? This has been a Nintendo problem for a few gens, right?
