Super Mario Galaxy on the way for Wii

[robdood]

That just reaffirms my belief that he is a PR account.

How do we check post history on our new (bawk) MySpace-profiles? I can only see the last few posts...

[robdood]

Cheers man And oh my, that post history is fascinating

I guess reading by the comments here most people like taking it up the arse from the big N. Keep on playing the same old Nintendo IP. Gullible assholes, when are you going to think for yourselves.

You're a complete cock. You're selectively ignoring perfectly valid points as to why you're completely wrong. It's only the third 3D Mario platform game in ten years. Many franchises manage that many in two years with few complaints. The IP is the characters not the genre of game. You seem to have severe trouble grasping this.

There's some truth in your words, Nintendo continues to re-use the old franchises and it begins to get tiresome. But you picked out the wrong game for this, because Super Mario Galaxy is the most innovative 3D platform game since Super Mario 64 and using Mario for this doesn't change the fact that.

[Calashnikov]

What difference does the IP make? You could swap the Mario character model for a carrot with arms and legs and the game would still look like great fun. The facts are, I have no emotional attachment to carrots with arms and legs (superb Eels video aside, pop-pickers) and I'm looking forward to blasting Mario around space.

Come on then, let's keep this going; what would YOU do to change Mario?

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I'd give him dark and gritty gameplay, and a mature persona. Maybe he could dress in black or something. Save the world from aliens? Carry a huge gun? Something fresh like that, rather than this tired "flying around space and encounter varied planetoids" paradigm.

Bad language, too. That'd make him appeal to a more mature, thoughtful audience.

Get some vehicles in there too, and I'm sold.

[roadkill]

Luigi should come out.

Not much cos we know Mario is aces, but I would ditch the familiarly themed areas. The fire one in that video just feels second hand or something and a it cheapens the franchise for me. Would it hurt to have something a bit more original (overall galaxy theme not withstanding)?

[robdood]

Hmm, I understand the feelings of re-used themes, but what else could they do, I mean surely pretty much everything has been done before, by this point

ARGH ITS LIKE A NIGHTMARE

[RubberJohnny]

It looks quite confusing from that video, especially the camera in the bit where he jumped from the top of a block to the bottom of another, you only actually see what he's jumping too once the gravity starts sucking him in.

[mistermotto]

Then of course, there's the Mario cameo appearances in the EA games.

...based around the Mario universe/Mario characters.

Although I agree that Mario Galaxy looks great, I can also see why some people are sick to death of the franchise. Comparing the amount of franchise whoring Nintendo have done to Mario with Capcom's Devil May Cry and such is a little silly.

EDIT: Although, given all the moaning people do over the various Mario games over the years, I was expecting the list to be a little bigger.

[Dude Ranch]

Fire, ice, desert, sky.., It all feels way too familiar.

I'm picking holes really though and the galaxy setting may well introduce lots of new stuff and breath life into the old. As I said before, I bet it plays great . That's what counts.

[Halo]

Yeah, but fire, ice, desert, sky, sea... it wouldn't be a Mario game without them. Sure, it might be getting a little dated, but that's what you get for having a 22 year old immensely popular franchise. And people complained about SMS, when they were trying to something different.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Personally, I'm just sick to death of seeing levels based around planets shaped like apples which are interconnected by giant worms.

If I had a penny for every level based around planets shaped like apples which are interconnected by giant worms.

[Spacehost]

A WORLD OF FUCKING WRONGNESS

[pretentious_helvetica]

Mario should quit all of this platforming nonsense and be in his very own FPS.

And of course, it shouldn't be on the Wii because that's for grandads and, er, kids?

Hohoho. Sometimes I despair.

[Jarik]

One slight downer about the generally awesome vibe of this game, if it does indeed have variable gravity wrapped around irregulary shaped objects, I can see there being plenty of room for glitches.

It will probably therefore need even more testing than a Mario game usually gets.

[wormstrangler]

How about...a planet/asteroid made of gas!!@#@!#@!#

With rings!

[robdood]

Amazing! So long as I can be the one closest to front with the awesome hat, I don't mind.

A Gastroid???

With wings!

I'd like to see planets based on the heads of Rllmukforum members. Just imagine the possibilities.
