darksnowman Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Well there we go everyone, we now know the next Wii game...Wii Anger management (Or frustration), obviously its a game where no one can beat the game, it just gets harder and harder to the point of impossible, and the vitality sensor will be in use just telling us how pissed off we are of the game. That idea is tailor made for the Vitality Sensor! GAME pre-order bonus : Do not want.
Ronnie Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 WTF is that Lost 'joke'? Galaxy 2 takes place in an alternate reality where Mario and the Lumas never met Meh, was this really necessary? 40+ galaxies Is that about the same as Galaxy 1? expect many throwbacks to classic Mario games once you hit the later stages Sounds interesting Bowser stages are similar to those in Super Mario 64 Excellent, I loved the Mario 64 Bowser levels.
Josh64 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Super Mario 64 had 16 levels, though I guess by 40 'galaxies' they may be including Luma galaxies and such, but still, a good amount
Ronnie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Ok Galaxy 1 had 42 galaxies, so looks to be the same this time around.
King Hippo Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 From IGN's twitter: "I can officially confirm that no characters unlock after 120 stars in SMG2. But it's after 120 stars the game unlocks...[TWITTER OVER LIMIT]" Intriguing...
Ronnie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I really don't want to know, but expect to find out in a spoiler.
LostOverThere Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) GameInformer gave it 9.25/10: Super Mario Galaxy 2 throws something new at you nearly every single level - and with over 240 stars to collect, that's no small feat. Oh, and I was looking at SCG's check list for Super Mario Galaxy 2 just days after E3 (See page 7), and its interesting to see how many of his wishes came true (true are bolded). 1. Harder but not frustratingly hard. 2. Keep some of the comet stars, replace repeated ones with defeat "x" number of enemies or collect "x" amount of something. 3. More original levels yes, could have some similar but the more varied the better. 4. Do away with 1-ups... except Nintendo won't do that so I'll go with the make them harder to obtain but always make sure there is a respawning 1-up on the harder challenges. 5. Definitely, needs moar flying! 6. New hub? yes please, but I did think the way that the hub world was a rocket / home and the transformation bit was awesome, just that it was nowhere near as good as Peach's castle. 7. Spring Mario was probably the weakest of the power ups, replace with cape or something? seeing as Reggie said it'd have throwbacks to SMW. 8. Make fire-flower power ups last until you get hit, not timed, though I can see why it kinda needs to be timed for challenges but in which case the challenges could just be made harder, timed just means you need to keep going back collecting yet another fire-flower which is a chore. 9. Co-op! it could be so effing sweet if they somehow could incorporate co-op play. 10. A more original story... the way the story was told in SMG was beautiful but it hardly broke any new ground, something a bit different this time would be nice. Edited May 12, 2010 by LostOverThere
James McGeachie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 The unlockable for 120 better not be mirror mode. No new character but still an extra 120 stars? Sounds a bit forboding that it might be.
Pookiablo Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'm just glad it'll be a bit tougher - I admittedly didn't get all 120 stars last time as it was a tad bit of a chore - tougher star runs will probably make me more compelled into playing longer! Got real high hopes for this - the first was probably my favourite game to be realised in the past 6 or 7 years, truly magical.
King Hippo Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Don't think it'll be a mirror mode. Mirror modes rely on throwing you for a loop in levels/courses you know off by heart, and Galaxy isn't that kind of game...

Perhaps we'll see a Galaxy "Master Quest" of some description - remixed levels that are supposed to be harder (but like in Ocarina of Time's case, probably just more boring and less inspiring).

If they're remixed, wouldn't that count as a bona-fide 120 new stars? :P For both sheer laziness on my part, and to make this the ultimate package, I vote for stars 121 - 240 to be the courses from Galaxy 1 in their entirety. Only half-joking.
S.C.G Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Oh, and I was looking at SCG's check list for Super Mario Galaxy 2 just days after E3 (See page 7), and its interesting to see how many of his wishes came true (true are bolded). Nintendo... actually... listened? to me? What is the world coming to... But seriously, it's good to see that at least some of the things I listed did actually get changed for the better because they were things that not only myself but that others agreed needed changing so it's good that they've taken things on-board.
mcj metroid Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 GameInformer gave it 9.25/10: lol why do they have a scoring system like that. Being honest I imagine this game will get higher elsewhere. Some areas of this i just don't believe.
Ronnie Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Game ratings should be /10. 1, 2, 3 etc... like Edge do it. IMO.
LostOverThere Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Wow, that's a freaking sexy disc! Oh, and I'm going to stop watching the Transmission videos. They're just spoiling each galaxy for me, thus I personally haven't watched any past #9.
nekunando Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Super Mario Galaxy is the best game on the Wii.. I love it ..with that in mind, though, I feel I need this game as much as Mario needs a hole in the head ..and since Mario got what he needed, so too must I
LostOverThere Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released July 1st in Australia. Sigh. I personally will be importing. Can anybody recommend a good (cheap/fast) online European store that ships to Australia?
Nintendohnut Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 There's a new video up, just showing some rock mario gameplay. I won't post it as it's not the longest/most exciting thing ever, but if anyone wants to have a look at it I suggest you click on the videos Dante posted above.
dwarf Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released July 1st in Australia. Sigh. I personally will be importing. Can anybody recommend a good (cheap/fast) online European store that ships to Australia? You have a freeloader? Or do you not need those anymore?
Dante Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Japan TV ADS. The last video made me hype to play that galaxy. remake areas from the past 3D Mario games
Serebii Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Guess that's what they meant by 95% new material. We thought they meant assets but DAMN
