You're missing out on a lot of amazing mods for console and pc games then.
No. I feel like I'm wasting my time if I finish a Mario game that (officially) doesn't exist.
Maybe, but if you're playing these mods I'd say you're not playing an actual game.
Things like zDoom and graphics mods I'm fine it; it's just stuff like this Mario thing that I won't do.
What. Seriously, what?!
So, are you saying that Mario Adventure, a full mod of SMB3, with entirely new graphics, music, levels, maps, powerups is NOT an actual game?
How about counter strike? Not a real game?
my definition of "game" must be wrong by some significant margin then.
Another Super Mario Bros. Wii and the yet to be released Newer could be released retail and you couldn't tell the difference.
Also, I really liked SM64: Star Road, was pretty well-designed overall. I love it when fan games use the full extent of a physics engine like this one does without going into the "cheap" territory. For example, I never knew the last jump in a triple jump could be used on slopes that you would normally slide down.
Does a game need to come from a large publisher to be a game or something? Some people made an interactive piece of software but I guess it isn't REAL

wii has everything in unix i believe. It can play dvd movies now too.
The custom levels are mostly quite empty. I know how it is - I modelled my own levels for Super Mario 64 without any prior knowledge to 3D level design. You might think at first that it looks great enough, but after creating some other levels, gaining experience and going back, it looks just horrible. A level looks much better if there's also much going on vertically. Adding cliffs, holes, slopes and all that stuff.
I think that these levels will be redone and improved, right know they look as empty as Starshine beach galaxy from SMG2. And mods after that will improve and avoid the mistakes that were in former mods. See the SMW mods, they got better and better.

Star Road really is a great mod, especially since it doesn't resort to cheap "fake difficulty" stuff other mods like to put in. Mostly, at least. Finding the vanish cap level is really hard and a few platforms are quite small. Otherwise, it shows well how far we got with SM64 hacking, compared to the earliest days.
It doesn't matter how large the publisher is, what matters is who the publisher is. This thing isn't developed by Nintendo, this isn't published by Nintendo, this isn't even approved by Nintendo at all, therefore Super Mario Galaxy 2.5 is not real Mario product.
I'm not gonna start adding fake games to my backlog.
Even by Internet standards, this is one of the strangest opinions I've seen.

You're right that it's not a Mario product. Product, as in for sell. That does not mean it isn't a game.
Fake games? I don't even.
...this is absolutely bizarre.
"fake games"? Oh man. So say if I made a fuck awesome remix of a bands hit song, you'd dismiss it as a fake? Same logic.
What.

You should be happy you get to play with awesome mods. :/
There's a difference between an unsanctioned Mario product and a fake game. This is a game, it has level design, it has rules, it has content, it has win states and lose states. If you enjoyed SMG1/2 you'll probably enjoy this. It's alright if you're pedantic and don't want to play it, but someone spent time and energy developing this and you're here dismissing it as "not an actual game".
Son, no.
Aside from Bob-omb Battlefield, this looks pretty cruddy.

The fact that this is possible at all warrants the reactions imo.
Any version of the retail disc will do, right? I believe NSMBW hacks required a specific print of the PAL version or something like that.
Agreed, that's a dickish thing to say.
No it doesn't. If the game is fun, I don't even give a fuck if Satan of Adolf Hitler published it.

your loss
I consider it lost time if I were to play this.
Why don't I go buy a third party controller or a PolyStation while I'm at it?
Those aren't games.
This looks more appealing than the original content shown in the OP. It's like part 2 of 3D Land for Sunshine.
A game with large open areas is more galaxy like than a game based around jumping from planet to planet?

Also a waste of time to play a PS360 game without trophies/achievements amirite?
Despite your sarcasm I think you are right, but I don't want to derail this thread.
You've already bollocksed up this thread enough as it is.

I read this title as Super Mario Galaxy 2.5D lol, was thinking something different entirely!
Nintendo are cool with hacks/mods unless it affects their profitability, or if said hacks are being sold for profit.
So that demo is not good, between the camera, inexplicable easy jump becoming hard like the one to get to yoshi, just going to the bridge when you'll get stuck if you don't jump while the floor being flat or just returning to the first platform to finish the level. Lack of coherence in the chase for the red coins plus the playground level when Mario appear slower than in the original tight levels, it could give a better first impression.
The two hammer bros blocking you in the middle of tiny platforms was cool also the setup with yoshi flowers to climb to get one red coin but harder than all the other coins to get hence the lack of consistency.

Especially when you need a retail disc to play this.

Nintendo is surprisingly good about fan-made games as long as they're not for-profit. I'm trying to think of an example of them shutting one down actually. The Zelda Classic project has been around for over a decade and that used to be very popular at one point.

Don't worry, I'm right there with you. I mean what do these people think games are played for, fun? Enjoyment for enjoyment's sake? GAF sure is full of crazies.

They should have stuck to remaking SM64, because that one remix level looked pretty fun!

I had forgotten he even had done that but yeah definitely.
That would be amazing.
The thing, though, is that SM64 handles very differently from SMG, different mechanics, different physics etc. SM64 wouldn't feel right with the Galaxy engine.

Throwback Galaxy felt alright! But yes, there's a very specific feel to both games- identical on the surface, worlds apart once you get on the level of shit like Siglemic's runs. It'd still be interesting to see, mind.

i might check this out if it's done but those fan mods are usually just terrible well atleast 99 out of 100 times.
and whoever thinks this will be as good or even better than SMG2 is just insane.

This one? Probably not. It might just pave the road for more awesomeness if SMW is any indication.
Come on now, I'm hyped but let's not go overboard here.
That reminds me that I need to play Super Mario Galaxy 2 already. I can't say Super Mario Galaxy was amazing, it was a rather standard Mario game but with a gravity gimmick. With that said, I'd rate it about an 8/10, but it's my least liked 3D Mario to date so I'm hoping the sequel has more standard land platforming.
I'll also be playing this on Dolphin, so I suppose I'll try it out with a 360 controller and just toggle the shake to a button while using the right stick for targeting.
