Oh come on... Miyamoto talked about SM128 many times in the context of it being a proper game, not some test project... at last year's E3 he confirmed it was being moved to Rev... hmm.

Super Mario 128 was most likely canned.
The director of the project was Mr. Ohta (IIRC) who was one of the guy's who worked on Wave Race 64.
Some of the ideas of the Mario 128 engine were apparently incorporated into Pikmin though.
Super Mario Galaxy is being developed by EAD Tokyo group which is headed by the lead designer of Super Mario Sunshine/Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.
I think people have some misunderstandings about what Mario 128 actually was. Mario 128 was not the sequel to Super Mario 64 ... Super Mario Sunshine is the sequel to Super Mario 64 (for better or worse).
Mr. Miyamoto has stated in interviews they made Super Mario Sunshine closer to Super Mario 64 in structure, even though the dev team wanted to be bolder with it.
Mario 128 was that demo with a 128 Marios running around. NOA also accidentally leaked the alternate title for this project "100 Marios". According to Mr. Miyamoto, this game was supposed to be quite different from anything else, and I presume would involve dozens of Marios (maybe even 100s) on screen in some capacity.

Can someone explain to me why SF64 gets so much love? (EDIT
ver the SNES original)
It took Star Fox on SNES, improved the graphics (for their time), cartooned up the music (ugh), added fun dogfighting stages.... and that's about it.
Frankly, 90% of what made it good was lifted from StarFox for SNES, and 50% of what made StarFox for SNES so good was dropped. The style of SF64 was very dorky. For example, when Pepper briefs you in the SNES one, they play an ominous sci-fi sound as you zoom in on the target level, before the briefing ticks away, and only says in an echoey voice "Good Luck" when you push start.... in 64, the goofy Pepper bumbles out speeches set to marching band music.
My ideal StarFox game would be mostly like the first game, with SF64's dogfighting stages....... and drop the kiddy voice actors. Get some anime actors in there and don't focus on the story too much. MAKE THE MUSIC HARDCORE TECHNO/ORCHESTRAL... the original soundtrack was more like ZOE2's soundtrack then The Teddy Bears Picnic.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
From the ign vids, the controls for starfox ds look pretty decent actually. Don't hate on it quite yet. http://media.ds.ign.com/media/826/826993/vids_1.html

In the original StarFox Adventures there was much more going on between Krystal and Fox
I've got some interesting conversations on my PC from the orginal game.
Bring back his look from super smash bros melee... NOW THAT WAS COOL!

I missed the bit about Mario the first time around. This makes me excited -- I was saying the whole time that Mario Galaxy is too samey to be a true vision for a new Mario game. It's just another Sunshine (meaning, non-revolutionary) but more fun.

Gotta correct you on a few things. First of all, the director wasn't supposed to be Ohta. It was said Yoshioki Koizumi (Sunshine/DKJB) was supposed to handle it. Which makes sense now since the project is being taken care of at EAD Tokyo
Secondly, Shiggy admitted Sunshine wasn't the sequel to 64. They borrowed elements from 64, but it wasn't the sequel.
