Posted September 11, 2007 Got a chance to play wii fit and mario the other day. Mario just puts a big smile on your face It's gone back to it's classic platformer fun factor roots in my opinion. The honeybee level just oozes mario 64 in it's cuteness and invitable platforming. Like EDGE wrote it their preview, you just WANT to play in the world, it's that inviting. The only gripe I had with it was the spin attack. I'm getting pretty tired of having to shake the remote to do an attack. That seems kinda tacked on imo. But then again, I'm certain that as with every nintendo wii game, with a bit of practise, the controls will all fall into place, and I'll be wizzing through the world once I get them down. The coolest thing was grabbing onto one gravity orb after the other, and gliding through space, collecting stars along the way with your pointer. The gravity feel really is an welcome innovation!

Posted September 11, 2007 Question: how come some pictures are bigger than the resolution of the Wii can handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 Question: how come some pictures are bigger than the resolution of the Wii can handle? Which pictures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 on IGN you will see several that are bigger than Wii's actual resolution like this one. 832x456 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 like this one. 832x456 Didn't notice the width - those images are pretty close to cinema aspect ratios... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 I think that seems about the right sort of resolution for 480p Widescreen. Was looking at this on wiki 480p and if you look at the diagram it shows EDTV being 854x480. I try to take things on wiki with a pinch of salt, but this info seems pretty accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try to take things on wiki with a pinch of salt, but this info seems pretty accurate. At a hight of 480, these screenshots would be 876x480. The aspect ratio is different. Almost the common ratio for cinemas. I've just checked Nintendo's asset library, most screenshots are that size. Odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The screenshots are representative anyway, Ãt's almost the good resolution. Maybe it's even the resolution the Wii renders in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2007 Why, why must I be at sea when this comes out! I want this game so bad, Mario is impossible to grow out of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Is that new girl set to replace Peach in the kidnap department? Anyway, this looks great, and that screen the maiky nisute posted looks AWESOME Bring on this game, and fast. 16 th November couldn't come sooner, though I'll get this for christmas.

Posted September 13, 2007 Is that new girl set to replace Peach in the kidnap department? Not at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Not at all. Good. Peach is unique in that way, and, other than daisy, Nintendo have never used another princess in a mario game. And Daisy is just Peach, but Brunette Oh, other than the first girl who got kidnapped in Donkey Kong, but she was crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 haha pauline wasn't it? i think thats really including as being peach just like jumpman is really mario.. not really seperate characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 I'm not sure because they had Pauline being Kidnapped by Donkey Kong in Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis instead of Peach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Although Pauline did return in Mario vs Donkey Kong 2. Damn you got there before me Coolness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2007 From GoNintendo Just recently Nintendo mentioned that they weren’t sure if there would be any WFC features in Super Mario Galaxy. Now, according to a Famitsu article, there is indeed a WFC feature. The article doesn’t list any information other than the included WFC mention. I wouldn’t take this as a confirmation, but it is something to discuss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 14, 2007 Well considering Nintendo hate wii-connect 24 and online in general, don't expect much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2007 Well considering Nintendo hate wii-connect 24 and online in general, don't expect much. You know Goron, what you said really wouldn't surprise me at all Some extras though would give it some good re-play value and would keep things interesting for a while. Like playing as Luigi or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2007 Theres a two-player mode in it, i'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
