Super Mario Galaxy

Recommended Posts

I'm on a geography trip to a big shopping outlet on friday. I'll just go round during lunch and find a copy and then sell my copy from choices when it eventually arrives.

Thanks for your impressions, i want more! Spoiler free of course! :D

 

Enjoy! Pleased it's worth (the hell of) the wait!

 

So far I have 11 Stars and I'm enjoying it even more :smile: I think many reviews stated that the bosses were easy and well, they kind of are but they are on the same level of difficulty as Super Mario 64's bosses really.

 

Anyway I'm off to play it for 15 mins more before I have to go to work. T.T I'll no doubt play it more later though but so far it's really good. ^^'

Japanese sales from last week:

 

Position 3.Super Mario Galaxy 78000 (335000)

 

Thats not all, look at number one and total sales:

 

Position 1.Mario Party DS 242000

 

Japanese sure are going handheld mental aren't they?

 

Lets hope Europe show Nintendo that Mario Galaxy is our fav game EVER! :D

 

I am right in saying that many predicted Galaxy would sell more then that? no?

 

Still, it's not too shabby.

Jesus, the japanese really do like their handhelds. Ahwell, the game is odds on to sell massive amounts in both Europe and America, so it should be fine.

 

Also, the PS3 outsold the Wii by over 20,000 units too! Though bearing in mind they did launch the new model this week over there.

I'm off to my 24 hour open Tesco at around 7:30 on Friday morning to hopefully pick up a copy (or two, incase of stock issue's) of this game, before work. I won't be playing it Friday tho, as I'm using my mum's money to buy it, thus it's a Christmas present. I don't mind waiting, got plenty to do for the next 4-5 weeks or so, but I shall be keeping away from this thread soon!

Boss battles vs Bowser are what I think is pretty boring. could of been done so much better.

Some 5 or more pages of just people saying their orders were just sent, or not yet sent.... What is wrong with you guys?? At least talk about the game, not about the postman.

I wouldnt say it is just a handheld issue as Wii has big selling games. problem is they are the more casual games. Mario Party 8 sold huge numbers on Wii. You would of thought this would of carried over for Mario Galaxy.

 

Mario is Nintendo leading mascot so I do think it is a problem. like I have said before I find it worrying that a superb game like SMG is not shifting them huge numbers. I really don't know what kind of image the Wii has in Japan!!

 

Hardware sales are gonna be really interesting considering the PS3 price drop. I expected SMG to help fight of the PS3 this winter. Looks like Wii Fit will do that instead.

Well I'm skipping uni tomorrow to go to the metro centre for the 6-9pm launch at GAME. I'm gonna let the wifey finish her chrimbo shopping most of the day (I'm soo caring). And so she gets her clothes/perfumes and I get Mario. Woo! It's all about making her "think" it's for her lol.

 

I wonder if GAME will have a limited supply of Wii consoles to sell alongside Galaxy? There are some photograpers from Nintendo there afterall...

Yes, they do. I've ordered about 200 things from them in 5 years, so trust me, they do.

Really? Awesome! I only ordered it last night. Somehow I think the whole shortage thing is only with certain retailers who didn't bother to order enough copies.

FUCK YEAH! My local Centro Mail rang me up earlier on to tell me my copy of SMG had arrived. So far, I've got 3 stars, and I can easily say it's the most fun I've had with a game for years. Literally.
