Forget camera resolution, video formats etc of competitors ... the UI and multitouch implementation of the iPhone is second to none. That's what makes it a pleasure to use. Ok, and the app store.

A lot of mockup designs are generally quite fugly, and that one is definitely no exception. Not only is it a horrible design, that has 'mockup' written all over it, but it's something that Nintendo would never make.

Nintendo 3DS + Zelda reveal. It's going to be a gooooood E3 (...hopefully)

How out of place does that orange Luma look in the logo! Talk about fugly. Sorry graphic designer speaking here. Anyway trailer looks good. Pleased to the see the ball levels return, they were great. And Rock Mario eh, looks cool. Oddly enough I prefered the MIDI theme music from the first trailer, as opposed to this orchestrated version but oh well. To be fair, I think that was a fairly obvious assumption. I'm really pleased though about the news that there'll be things to do on it and that it will change as the game goes on. The map screen is basically like an observatory display from Galaxy 1.

Thicker skin required. It was just a bit of playful banter, nothing more.

The same could be said of the entertainment show itself :wink:

Good of you to admit that, the former anyway! It was fairly obvious.

No surprise. Very nice, and I think that orange luma is new? Looks good.

A hub world makes the whole adventure feel more immersive, as though you're part of a storyline and a real world. A linear map screen? zzzzzzzzzz

What a giant backwards step. There goes having a bit of fun exploring and looking around. They couldn't think of a way of improving the hub world from Galaxy 1 so do away with it altogether for a dull, flat map. Appealing to 'casual gamers' and all that...

You could find 15 seconds of action clips from the first half of the season (although not much more), so this trailer doesn't fill me with confidence that it'll be anymore interesting or less boring, bleak and forgetful. Especially if the characters continue to be mostly a bunch of unlikeable argumentative idiots.

Am pleased Star Trek won an award. Even if it was just for makeup. It deserved a Best Picture nomination though.

Well said

The original was either accidental or wasn't meant to be a big deal. Now that Nintendo are aware and realised others were aware, they chose to take advantage of the hidden message. Hence 'ally' which makes a tad more sense than 'ay' don't you think. At the end of the day who gives a &%$^

The sparkle is practically between the A and L, hence U R MI ALY, which makes sense considering Yoshi is Mario's ally

It's U R MI ALY

Definitely agree with that

I'm just going to walk into a store on the day of release and buy it

Galaxy is probably in my top 3 games of all time... but that 'reward' for getting 240 stars was pathetic. They better have something far bigger and more interesting for Galaxy 2.

I'm not trying to wind anyone up, and at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. It's a lovely piece of art. But a bit of common sense will tell you that in all probability, unless Nintendo change their minds and do a re-design, it is the cover artwork...

or else you will DIE, no those all look like fan art. Exactly. Why? Because it looks identical in style to Galaxy 1's boxart? That makes perfect sense.....

Then you are clueless. Totally and utterly. It couldn't any more obvious that it's the official box art. The style is identical to the first, and the quality is flawless. It's in high resolution and was on the IGN site at the same time as the other images were released. Of course it's the official cover.

Are you joking? Of course it's not a fan-made mock-up, look at it, the quality is unbelievable, it's obviously official and the fact that it resembles Galaxy 1's style, means it's without a doubt the official box art for Galaxy 2. It's the real deal, that guy just added a Wii and Nintendo logo to it.

I agree all the light blue gives it a very Sunshine vibe compared to the first one, and I prefer the darker shades of the original as well. But this looks quite fresh I think. I also think we may be seeing more galaxies that are at atmosphere/cloud level than we did in Galaxy 1, maybe that's the reason for the design of this cover. U R MI ALY = You are my ally; in reference to Yoshi

Wow, that box art is stunning. Completely similar in style to Galaxy 1's, as you would expect, but this one seems to represent (what seems to be) a greater number of atmosphere based galaxies, rather than space ones.
