Posted October 23, 2007 Last time Nintendo tried to keep Luigi a secret in a Mario game (because of "spoilers"), they shoved him on the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 24, 2007 Famitsu score from GoNintendo. Mario Galaxy 10 9 9 10 * Keeps up the feeling of “I wanna see what’s in the next level!” * Gradually builds up things available in game, keeping a good difficulty balance and level design. * Gravity change gimmicks and special actions improve boss fights. * Wiimote controls work almost too well * Tempo is abnormally good * Just being able to point and gather star pieces in exhilarating. * Game everyone can enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2007 In today's climate that's a brilliant score. The comments seem good too. The sole reason Mario 64 is the classic it is was due to that magical ingredient that made you want to keep playing. Keeps up the feeling of “I wanna see what’s in the next level!” ...Perfectly sums up my entire feeling of Super Mario 64. I just wonder how the wiimote controls can work "too" well? Good start though. This should be incredible. It seems like Mario is back in the public's eye too (sales of MP8,NSMB) and with the advent of this game alongside Smash Bros/S&M@Olympics it looks as though Mario will be enjoying some kind of rebirth. And although he's never really been away it seems that, in 2000-2006 Mario wasn't really held in highest of regards anymore. I look forward to March 2008 when I can look back on HUGE Nintendo releases and rub my hands with glee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 24, 2007 9.5/10 from Famitsu. What games have achieved equal or higher than this score from Famitsu? Super Mario Sunshine, God of War 2 and Halo 3 all got 10, 9, 9 and 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 24, 2007 Didnt Red Steel get 39/40? Famitsu are always a bit.... meh with reviews. Still, can't complain at that, it's a positive start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2007 38/40...that sucks...I'm cancelling my pre-order now. It should have got 50/40 due to its awesome overly coolness... ...seriously tho...I wonder what they decided warranted the point missing from those two reviewers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should have got 50/40 due to its awesome overly coolness... ...seriously tho...I wonder what they decided warranted the point missing from those two reviewers I don't know, I thought that. Personal preference maybe, I thought this would get four 10s to be honest. Still a great score, what is the Japanese release date? I bet this sees Wii sales go through the roof!

Posted October 25, 2007 The ONM score has been released and the full review is in the next issue out tomorrow. 97%: “It’s funny because the thing that annoys us most is that its fantastic graphics show us the sort of games we could have been playing for the past year had some developers bothered to pull their finger out. Throughout the whole game the graphics constantly amaze, with stunning visual effects, some remarkably huge playing areas, and characters that are positively filled to the brim with personality. The sound is some of the best we’ve heard in a Mario game. Some of the power-ups give a similar sense of nostalgia. While some of the missions are quite simple, others will test the skills of even the most dedicated Mario fans.†BRING IT ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2007 Could this be the third Edge 10 for three months running? (after Halo 3 E:181 and The Orange Box E:182) It's starting to become a big possibility considering the lack-luster Sunshine got a 9. I can't wait for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2007 Super Mario Galaxy Leaked! Apparently, US game store called EBGames has a demo of the game with a 10 minute restriction. When you play that game on a Wii, the limit is not there. A EB employee leaked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2007 Wow. Just wow. What I would do to get my hands on that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2007 And again as usual pirates can play the game a lot earlier than people who actually buy games. BTW gread job Nintendo giving them FULL GAMES (if true) so early - someone must have a lot of faith into average EB shop employees. So games already finished ... translated .... mhm thanks for letting us WAIT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've left myself out of this thread for a while, last time I properly read it was the U R MR GAY thing...Don't know a whole lot about the game to be honest...only came in to see if anyone had posted ONM's score..nearly bought it but go scared of spoilers...
