Super Mario Galaxy 2

Wow, talk about out of the blue! Wasn't expecting anything about this game until E3!

 

Just watched the second trailer, looks amazing. I don't particularly care about Yoshi personally, as I think he works in 2D Marios a lot more than 3D ones, but everything else looks fantastic.

 

I really loved the music that's been in both trailers. What's the likelihood that it will be the game's main theme, and used as one of the galaxy's music? It's the only orchestrated music we've heard so far anyway.

 

I'm not liking the "World 2" graphic though. Doesn't look very promising if it's linear like that. How many worlds are there? Is a world the same as a galaxy? Or is a world similar to an observatory from Galaxy 1? What about the storytelling? The look and feel of the hub world, and how you discovered new galaxies was fantastic in the first game, hopefully it'll be just as good in the sequel.

 

Love the new title graphic, very nice.

 

Can't believe it's coming out so soon though. Looks like we may yet see Zelda Wii around xmas time!

 

EDIT: Just seen a pic, looks like the Lumas are back, great news.

Shot 3 looks PS3-ish in it's graphical fidelity.

 

I wouldn't go that far, but it certainly looks better than anything else we've seen on the Wii so far.

 

Needless to say, with the new trailer, I'm that much more hyped for this.

I believe a "World" is the equivilant to an Observatory. However, I don't see how it is any more linear than the first game, it just seems to lack a Hub world

Absolutely stunning! Gotta love the sheer joy this thing exudes. Mature gamers beware ;)

Lovely theme. And doesn't it benefit from a real orchestral recording! The brass sound a little synthetic, as though they've been given a 'helping hand' (like in certain tracks from Crystal Bearers), but this might just be the trailer mix. All we need now is a truly symphonic score for Zelda (+ string quartet for intimate moments, as Koji Kondo once envisaged) and we can all die happy :D

Really? Impression I got about this from E3 was that it was Spring 2010. Never expected it to be a holiday title.

 

I just had a sneaky suspicion that they would push it back till closer to xmas, ive got nothing to base that on, just had a inkling.

 

I like to be proved wrong though with something like this! :grin:

I really like the look of this galaxy:

I'd be surprised if they didn't implement a hub world. As long as you can go to any galaxy you want in whatever world you want then I'll be happy. The line drawings from the world 2 pic don't fill me confidence though.

There is no proof that there will be no hub, what are you talking about? In SMG when you enter a room and click the blue star to select a galaxy from that room you see something very similar to that screenshot.

 

This Marios head planet has a wheel.

From Nintendo website:

 

Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.

Ok so Mario has his own ship, the giant mario head (a tad lame looking compared to the awesome hub world in Galaxy 1 but oh well)...

 

So you travel to each individual world (observatory) with the space ship and inside each world, you choose which galaxy to go to. The galaxies seem to be represented by those black dots surrounding each world.

 

Also the Mario head planet seems to have lots of Luma's scattered around, another indication this is the hub world. Still seems a little silly though
