Posted November 8, 2007 What's this wi-fi thing IGN is talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 The GT trailer has some new areas showed but no major spoilers I think. After watching it I have no doubt that it deserves the scores. It looks perfect in every aspect. From wikipedia: Okay this has to mean something. It doesn't look like just a personal opinion of 2 or 3 guys. It's global. This game IS awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 I am suprised about it selling 250,000. I mean what about the supposed 700,000 pre-orders?? Yes the DS has a bigger consumer base but I am telling you now even if Wii and the DS had the same user base NSMB would of still sold more. remember when that was released DS hardware sales went through the roof. Wii Hardware sales numbers should be released tomorrow. I pretty worried about Galaxy not shifting units to be honest. 250,000 in first week means next week will be lower as the 1st week is the strongest. 700,000 preorders from stores.

Posted November 8, 2007 The only Wii games that have had legs in Japan are Wii Sports and Wii play. Even Fire Emblem dropped like a stone from the charts.. WarioWare, Super Paper Mario, Mario PArty 8 all stayed around for some time. In all honesty there hasn't been that much more of the sort of software which sticks around, but Mario Galaxy is undoubtedly going to be one of those games, especially with Christmas just around the corner.

Posted November 8, 2007 Not to be a Solitanze or anything, but Mario's current review averages bring it to a 96.9% average on GameRankings, meaning it will place 2nd overall behind Ocarina of Time so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 I remember Twilight Princess reached the same spot, only to fall far down the list when more reviews came. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2007 TBH I can't see this doing the same as everyone seems to love it. a simple 8.8 from someone can drag it down alot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 a simple 8.8 from someone can drag it down alot Yup very true. Hopefully it'll get some solid 9/10's and 9.5/10s too to keep it up there. A few 100%'s would do this game well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 I demand everyone to read this, its incredible: http://uk.wii.com/software/interviews/mario_galaxy/vol4/index.html PS Though very funny that Miaymoto told the orchestra that this game will sell 10 million copies Wait till he gets a load of first week sales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 I remember Twilight Princess reached the same spot, only to fall far down the list when more reviews came. True, but Twilight Princess fell when the Gamespot review started getting proper attention... Gamespot have given this a fantastic 9.5!! (I think everyone knew they should give it that, but no one saw it coming) Which they have only given to The Orange Box and Halo 3 since they started their new .5 system (if I'm wrong, someone correct me), I remember somewhere saying this was the game of the decade (and it wasn't the Official Nintendo Magazine), everyone seems to love this game! And to further cement that: PALGN - 10.0/10.0 Link: http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=9354&sid=aaf4037ff72b21ed1a4a9d1f0e72d509 I really, REALLY can't wait for this game!

Posted November 8, 2007 According to Gamespot this game is 0.7 points better than Twilight Princess (the 8.8 'superior' version). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 Gamespot still write good reviews, they just score so inconsistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2007 Gamespot still write good reviews, they just score so inconsistently. No they don't. Their reviews are pure crap. But damn, 9.5? I didn't expect that! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2007 I demand everyone to read this, its incredible: http://uk.wii.com/software/interviews/mario_galaxy/vol4/index.html PS Though very funny that Miaymoto told the orchestra that this game will sell 10 million copies Wait till he gets a load of first week sales I think he actually said that the ENTIRE Mario series has sold 10 million, which is actually a drastic understatement. He probably just meant in recent years or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2007 I remember Twilight Princess reached the same spot, only to fall far down the list when more reviews came. It certainly did, but in the case of The Orange Box, sometimes they creep up too. Though I can't imagine anything ever surpassing Ocarina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2007 I think Virgin have caught on how good it is... it's now £33 online, I pre-ordered at £27!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 9, 2007 PS Though very funny that Miaymoto told the orchestra that this game will sell 10 million copies Wait till he gets a load of first week sales They only have the sales for less than half a week from Japan so far... And Mario games tend to sell well for a long period of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
