SPAMBOT4000 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I can imagine there being a ship in this game as a hub world. But seriously, if it IS that head then that's the lamest idea ever. I really don't think that'll be it.
... Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 On the very top near the front you can see what is very clearly an old fashioned ship's wheel. Ah, saw it. Also noticed that whole section where the wheel is is actually boat shaped. At first it just looked like a stone bridge but now I see it's a ship. Anyway, I still don't buy that that planet is some sort of transportation for Mario.

Gizmo Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 ...I haven't ventured into this part of the forum for months, but I just saw the new trailer for this. It's the one and only reason I still have my Wii. I have to play this game.

It's the one and only reason I still have my Wii. I have to play this game. Ditto, for both to be fair. I'm hoping that the Mario head-shaped planet isn't the HUB. Something similar to the observatory from the last game would be excellent.

Something similar to the observatory from the last game would be excellent. But last time I read that people didn't like the Hub when it was compared to the Peaches castle and SMS :/ So now we want the hub back? Who knows, for all said and done, the mario planet might be one part of the main area.
or else you will DIE Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Gameplay footage http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nintendo-media-super-mario/62299 watching this totally convinced me that this game will be better than the first it looks amazing! and as dante said, it has SMW music!
... Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I'm hoping that the Mario head-shaped planet isn't the HUB. Something similar to the observatory from the last game would be excellent. Please, no. But last time I read that people didn't like the Hub when it was compared to the Peaches castle and SMS :/ So now we want the hub back? The observatory was the worst part of SMG, IMO. Peache's Castle was the only good Mario hub as far as I'm concerned. If SMG2 is to have a hub, and odds are it will have one, it should be 360º, one where you can walk everywhere and features gravity effects too. And while we're on this, it should also feature dynamic music like Banjo Kazooie did, so the music changes depending on what part you are in. And also like in Banjo Kazooie, the hub should have puzzles to solve too, make it more than just a hub.
Emasher Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I'd much rather have a hub world like in super Mario sunshine. Don't get me wrong peach's castle was good too, but the atmosphere and exploration in the sunshine hub made it just that much better. The galaxy hub was just boring.
LostOverThere Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Dunno if this has been posted before but IGN have a Hands-on and seem to note that none of the front end stuff was done, and the map selection stuff was all just a make-shift room for the demo.

Wierd that they chose to release a screenshot of the makeshift level menu then
Serebii Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Plus since the game's out in 3 months, the front end WOULD be done, it would be at the final testing stages now
killthenet Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Why is it so important to so many people that the music is orchestrated? Surely if the music sounds good and behaves properly within the game it doesn't matter where the final sounds have originated from.

Many games people moaned about MIDI music such as Mario Kart Wii, I didn't notice til they moaned That said, Mario Galaxy's soundtrack is awesome and deserves orchestration

Surely if the music sounds good and behaves properly within the game it doesn't matter where the final sounds have originated from. Because it was a revelation in the original?? One of its strongest assets (among many). No one is saying that all the music should be orchestrated. There'll probably be a balance.
Ronnie Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I'm really hoping they haven't filled the game with Yoshi levels. Ok it's a nice change of pace, but hopefully most of it will be Mario only. Dunno if this has been posted before but IGN have a Hands-on and seem to note that none of the front end stuff was done, and the map selection stuff was all just a make-shift room for the demo. Thank **** for that. Because it was a revelation in the original?? One of its strongest assets (among many). No one is saying that all the music should be orchestrated. There'll probably be a balance. Exactly. Galaxy had one of if not THE best soundtrack to a game in my opinion, to do away with orchestration for the sequel would be a bit silly.
Owen Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) 11th June European release! knew it! Edited February 25, 2010 by Owen
Serebii Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Got my copy pre-ordered. Day 1 Purchase! (Although it's pre-ordered so Day 0 or maybe even Day -1 :P)
Kav Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I'm much more happy with this date than the "Q3" given for Metroid's. Can't wait to get my hands on this game, pre-order it is!!!
Owen Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I was VERY close to importing this, but my imports take a week to arrive meaning it'll be a mere 10 days..seems a bit pointless..so i'm sticking to my UK order...Metroid on the other hand....
welsh_gamer Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Yahoo! Can't wait. Now I know when I have to replay Galaxy by ....and incase anyone hasn't pre-ordered yet, the cheapest place to do so is Gameplay at £29.99. Order it now, incase of a 'New Super Mario Bros' style £5 hike in price everywhere.
