Where is Mario Galaxy 1/2 HD editions?

I'm calling 3dworld that yes.
please don't start accusing me of trolling, we've all seen world 6 already.
it looks pathetic.
no wonder it got pushed forward to november, it's probably been ready since may,
like pikmin was ready may, but they held it for the big end of year push.

I would buy both galaxy games in hd for double their original prices.
do it nintendo!

And you don't think it has a second half like 3D Land?

Yeah? Nintendo has a lot more resources to work with, including original assets. There's only so much emulation can do.

I don't know. Mario Galaxy / 2 look absolutely amazing on Dolphin. Not sure if Wii U could provide the same crazy IQ that you can achieve on Dolphin through downsampling / AA.
Plus you can play with a normal controller and just map all the motion stuff to buttons.

I imagine, in the magical world that this exists, they could do the same thing wit hthe Wii U. Probably make the little shooting cursor thing your finger dragging on the wii u pad screen that translates to the tv.
 
I would buy hd collections of nearly every nintendo franchise from wii and gamecube. Maybe if wwhd fails to meet sales expectations their future hd ports will be better value propositions.
 
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most visually beautiful games I have ever played.

It really is a shame that it needs to be played on a CRT with Component to get the full experience.

Dolphin is nice, but there are too many audio glitches.

You're saying Wii U can make Wii games look better than if they were on Dolphin?

It probably doesn't have the grunt to downsample from crazy high res like Dolphin, but you only need to look at Wind Waker HD (ignoring the controversial adjustments they've made to the lighting) to see how much sharper an old Gamecube/Wii game can look in Wii U.

Your original question was 'How much better can Mario Galaxy look on the Wii U, is it even worth it?' And the answer is much better, and totally worth it. Dolphin is not practical for most people, and it's not perfect. Nintendo could make a flawless upgrade.

I'm 31 years old and I've been playing video games for over 25 years now. I don't plan on playing it with anyone else, I don't have any children to buy it for. I'm a grown ass man and I want the game. Doesn't suck for me.

There's no sense in getting bent out of shape over the handful of videos Nintendo puts out of their games. They very, very, very rarely show anything good in what they put out. I didn't love NSMB2 but there were some fun worlds. All the stuff they showed prior to launch looked like shit, but when I saw some of the levels at the end of a launch video I was sold. NSMBU seemed pretty run of the mill until late into its development cycle. And even then, you don't get to grasp just how good the level/game design are until you play it yourself.

Don't buy the game if you don't want it. That's fine. But don't talk like you know what the game is or isn't until you've played it. Maybe it'll actually be Babby's First Mario and it'll suck dog shit. If so I'll be disappointed. But I trust they know how to balance the game and I look forward to playing it.


Oh this was just a typo. Probably because I was thinking of all the people who call this a port of 3D Land which is maybe even more infuriating to me than people calling it Babby's First Mario.

I see that alot on gamefaqs especially marking how it is going to be 90% the same game.

Well Dolphin is a continually improving program, so a (nearly) glitch free edition may come eventually. When I first tried Galaxy on Dolphin there was a glitch where Mario's eyes didn't have pupils, looked really creepy, haha.

I just need to find better wii remote drivers for my PC. Don't know if it's the Bluetooth reciver I bought or the computer itself but I have to use some Toshiba bluetooth drivers that expires every 30 days. It allows you to reinstall it and get another 30 days, but it's an annoying process to uninstall and reinstall them.
 
I doubt we'll see an HD port of the Super Mario Galaxy games, it just doesn't seem like something Nintendo would do. Although, if they were to put one of their older Super Mario games into HD, I'd love to see Super Mario Sunshine done.

The stench of entitlement when a poster says "Where is my ______?" is absolutely nauseating.

Consumers demanding products to buy are not entitled. It's business 101, and Nintendo's failure to create and meet demand is why they are in deep shit right now.

What a bullshit post.

I'd be much happier seeing Galaxy for the U than the *new* Mario game we're getting this fall. Just strip out all the Wiimote garbage and I'd be happy.

I don't see what's wrong with playing the Wii versions on your Wii U. I've played Metroid: Other M, LOZ: Twilight Princess, NSMB Wii and NiGHTS: Journey Of Dreams on mine, and all are beautiful. There's no point in wasting resources on HD versions, when you can use the backwards compatibility. Oh, and it's intentional that those games are played with the Wiimote(&Nunchuk). It's a fine controller, and there's nothing 'garbage' about it.

I feel that Super Mario 3D World is a very ambitious 3D Mario title, which didn't get the love it deserved at E3 2013- A real shame, especially as that trailer was very tight and brilliantly-crafted. I would go further, and say it was one of the best game showcases of the year. I really don't see how it's "playing it safe" at all - To my mind, a Super Mario Galaxy 3 would've been doing just that. If the Wiimote is such a bother, you do know that you can play SM3DWorld with the Pro Controller, too? Pretty sure that's been true for a while.
 
Gamecube/Wii HD remakes would definitely get me more excited about the Wii U. I missed out on most of them, and I'd absolutely buy Metroid Prime HD Trilogy and a Super Mario Galaxy HD bundle. Just as long as Nintendo gets the message that HD remakes are worth $15 to $20 per game, not $50.

Wouldn't that take a shitload more work? They need some game in the short term to boost sales.

Well they'd be putting in a lot of the same work anyways to make these HD editions look modern. The only other part would be the level design. Mario Galaxy 3 could probably be out next Holiday judging by how fast they seem to tackle their games since they've got most of the hard work done already.

Wouldn't that be a problem for games like Super Mario Sunshine due to the missing analog triggers?
Click to expand...

Hmmm...I'm sure there would be easy enough workaround, I'm just too tired to think of one right now :p

I would certainly pray the camera would be fixed a bit if re-released. Still love the game though.
 
I'd personally rather have Sunshine than the Galaxy games in HD, since it's the only main Mario game I never finished. I rented it ages ago and just never got very far in it.
 
Play them on the Wii they look fine. Mario 64 is the game that needs updated graphics.

Sunshine needs a remake with the whole blue coins thing totally changed among other things.
 
Why is every "where's HD game X!?" always a Nintendo game? Why aren't we allowed to have NEW good things? Why must we always recycle our old?

It's a thing called, "Other companies are doing it, so should Nintendo." Plus, it doesn't hurt that their games would heavily benefit from being in HD with how beautiful some of them look on their own. It's a trend in the video game industry that is seemingly something consumers enjoy buying. Why shouldn't Nintendo take advantage of it? It's win/win for both parties.

And besides, not every game would need the treatment WWHD has gotten to be released or w.e. They could easily do a $40 SMG1/SMG2 resolution/texture updating (and GamePad/Wii U Pro Controller support) like every other company does and people would eat it up because they love those games. Or, people who missed out on them and don't want to buy the original copies because they're only going to look good on a SDTV/CRT. Which if you missed out on them, you likely don't own a CRT anymore either.

And let's face it, Wii games on Wii U don't represent the game well visually at all. It's nice to have BC for the entire Wii library, but some people want some of those games to look visually stunning on their HD TV. And a SMG HD Collection would sell gangbusters, I imagine.

It would also fill in gaps in Nintendo's huge ass droughts they have with every console. WWHD is filling the void of a Zelda title, SMG HD Collection could fill the void of an entire two months worth of a drought, maybe even more because it's 2 games for the price of one.

Nintendo has an impressive catalog of SD games that could easily fill 5+ HD Collections (maybe even more). Why shouldn't they do it? It wouldn't take away from them making new games if they're on the same scale of improvements as other HD Collections. WWHD is a huge outlier in what it is and I cannot imagine if they were going to do a SMG HD Collection that they'd do any overhauling of content because both of those games are nigh perfect and sublime gaming experiences.

It isn't always a Nintendo game. Square-Enix has been right up there until they started whittling their goodwill away month by month. Now people only want a FF4/5/67/8/9/11/ChronoTrigger/Xenogears/DQ1-7/obscureJRPG HD remake. When you make timeless games that leave an impression people must want to revisit them later. Who would've thought
 
In the box labelled 'Nice things we can't have', alongside FF XII HD, Blood 3, Nier 2, Clive Barker's Undying 2, a new Silent Hill by Team Silent and the sequel to Alice: Madness Returns (I know about the Otherlands short films, but I want a proper game).

I asked the question because when I look at Wind Waker on the Wii U, while it looks good, I am not impressed by what Nintendo has done with the graphics, but when I look at Dolphin I am amazed. I guess, just because Nintendo has the resources to make Galaxy look amazing, does not mean that they will use those resources to make Galaxy look amazing.
 
It's not even funny how bad I want these two remastered
in HD.

I suspect we'll see them released shortly before
Super Mario Galaxy 3(I'm confident we'll get it).
