Super Mario Galaxy 2 Confirmed!
- Thread starter 666
- Start date
Kotaku did an interview with Miyamoto.
They're saying that maybe 90% of the game is composed of new levels, but the remainder revists some from the original.

That really just brought back vibes of SMW. It's this the only 3D Super Mario full platformer that has a playable Yoshi in it?

Hoping it's the more bonus-levely type stuff.

I think you can ride him in Sunshine but that's like the Rocky V of Mario games.

Best news of the show. I'm so happy.

Oh, give me a fucking break. Where's the content that's being recycled? If ANY game deserved a faithful sequel, its Mario Galaxy. From what I saw from the trailer, there's a ton of new shit. Because it has some of the same fundamental gameplay mechanics does not make it 'recycled'. Mario Galaxy was the very definition of creativity for me, and this looks to be it too. They don't need to reinvent the wheel, especially when Galaxy was so incredibly amazing. The concept gives them almost unlimited creative freedom.

I don't think it's rehashing at all. There's a lot more that can be done with the Galaxy concept that Nintendo hasn't done. They had a good idea in the first game, and now they're expanding upon it in this game.
People think that Nintendo has to reinvent the wheel in every new Mario game, but I'm glad that they're finally taking the time to polish one concept before moving on. If games like Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 can be made then theres almost certainly nothing wrong with nintendo doing this.

I knew that, that quote was as if the developers were making both of the games at the same time and thought of using the koopalings in both.

It's not that they're porting over three levels (I'm guessing?) from SMG straight, but I take it more as new levels in similar environments.

I really wish we could see a little bit more stylized levels.

I have no problem if people say this, but I'd better not see the same people cheering every other freaking sequel this generation on other platforms. Like every single racing game, fighting game, and FPS game. Because that would just be hypocritical. And stupid.

Gusty Garden is a must, seriously. And Freezeflame was bad ass.
But my number one wish:
Toy Time Galaxy

Most games have very limited variation in their level design, so regardless of whether they're 'new' levels in most games, they still feel the same. The difference with Mario games is that the levels are evidentally different, and feel as such; this means they can get away with 'only' 90% new levels because they're fresh enough already.
Honestly, Toy Time Galaxy almost physically felt like a breath of fresh air.

Yes, it is necessary in this case.Archie said:
1) SMG had some brilliant ideas that were a bit underdeveloped and could have done with some elaboration and increased difficulty. SMG2 does seem like an expansion--and that's absolutely perfect.
2) SMG's strength wasn't one or two big gimmicks done well, like so many other games nowadays. It was a massive roster of small innovations and clever tricks. Given that, a new SMG based on the old engine is a perfect delivery system for even more of this style of design, done by Nintendo's really creative people.
3) The industry isn't inundated with 3D platformers of this type. New additions to the genre are going to feel fresh almost by default, because unlike traditional shooters or sports games, say, there's still lots and lots of new design territory to explore.

Oh come on. Everyone knows this will most likely not top SMG in terms of newness(what can?), but we're all excited because of new content!Archie said:

Damn you guys are ruthless, lol. Mario Galaxy is probably the most refreshing game this decade in terms of level design. I'm disappointed that they aren't creating all new content because they obviously have the capability to do some really creative and imaginative things.

Did I miss the part where there would be 'reused content'? (not 'reused assets,' which are quite different)
Chairman Yang

But it's clearly not just a remix. There's at least 90% completely new stuff. SMG2 seems like a sequel in both name and content.bridegur said:
As awesome as Galaxy was...I'm of the opinion that it's way too early, especially since it's a direct sequel unlike previous 3D mainline Mario platformers.
That said, it's still an instabuy. Just hope they develop the hub world a bit more this time, I loved exploring the Castle in SM64 or Delfino Plaza in Sunshine, but Galaxy's was just too small and uninteresting. Same for every other level actually - make them bigger, less linear, and leave more place to exploration and discovery.

I really don't think levels like Toy Time Galaxy or that last lava one have any chance to return.
He talks about new objectives in the old levels, so chances are the less linear levels, with more planet hopping, are the ones with the biggest chance of returning. Toy Time and several others really don't leave much space for new objectives.

You and I speak the same language!
And Tatanga too? Hell, let's just throw in Mousers and TryClydes, while we're at it! Give SMB2/USA some of that good love!
Hugs back!

3 years is 'way too early'? I swear, I will never, ever understand some of you people. What, do you need 6 years between sequels or something? I last played Galaxy 3 years ago. Thats a frikkin long enough time. Mario Galaxy was one of the only games Ive truly enjoyed this gen.

And a full-fledged Bonefin level would be wow.

Fucking idiots complaining.
Mario Galaxy is the best platformer ever made. It deserves a direct sequel ASAP.
