Super Mario Galaxy on the way for Wii

[barkbat]

Maybe it was announced just then, as an announcement.

[Rudderless]

I've heard that date mentioned before, although there's never been an official announcement. Perhaps Nintendo have had people sign an NDA which promises not to reveal the date as an announcement, but they're allowed to mention it casually.

In other news, Wii Fit's coming this year to Europe, according to CVG.com. Which I've also seen elsewhere, and it's already being demoed at Wii House.

Thus Nintendo win Christmas.

Seeing as we havent got Super Paper Mario yet, I would have thought Metroid would be released around that date rather than Mario.

Not that i'm complaining if it's true of course. Mario for Xmas.... 8)

[DarhkFox]

i think Metroid is October.

[Hawkeye]

As long as Galaxy and Guitar Hero 3 are out before Xmas I'll be happy. Galaxy is the one game that really has me excited just now.

From that article: "Super Mario Galaxy will be released across Europe on 30th November."

My birthday!!! 8)

[Hawkeye]

My birthday!!! 8)

Saint Andrew?

[esar]

Saint Andrew?

Never heard of him.

[Jarik]

Game list SPM for September & Metroid for October.

If those dates & Galaxy's are all true that makes 3 Major Nintendo games in adjoining months. Can we poor European Nintendo owners cope with such a phenomenon? 8)

[mogawoods]

Well, I was born on 30th November. And I'm an Andrew. And I'm Scottish. Clearly it's a sign. A sign of ... something. Maybe SMG is gonna be as awesome as I am. Yeah, that.

These are all from the magazine scan, but the best looking game of all-time deserves milking wherever possible:

We're not getting Fit in December, unfortunately, unless you know something I don't...

I've gotten through 2007 so far having barely touched my previously indispensable 360 (I've simply found plenty to like in the Wii line-up, unlike many others, and haven't the time to invest in the typical 360 style of game right now), so the must-have games like Bioshock & Halo 3 arriving on that format in conjunction with the wealth of delights arriving on Wii over the next few months suggest it could be....

Really, can this game look any better than the patchy but sporadically brilliant & curiously unpolished Mario Sunshine? It reminds me of Mario 3 and SMW, which neither of the previous 3D games looked anything like.

Circle shadows are so last gen

Just kidding, peepz. It looks bloody great.

I predict GOTY type goodness...

and this is all in the year where we see Bioshock, Metroid and Halo 3 as well.

The run up to christmas is going to be great fun!

[superpretend]

The art direction really does remind me of the leap between the NES Mario games and the SNES Mario. More refined and more colourful, it's actually what I've been waiting for a 3D Mario to look like without even realising it.

and this is all in the year where we see an FPS, another FPS and yet another FPS as well.

It already beats all those games on screenshots alone, for me, because you don't control a floating camera with a gun sticking up at the bottom.

.::: I think it actually goes backwards in a forwards kind of way.

Almost like 3D is finally approaching the 2D gameplay density of the Golden Age during the early '90s. The abstractness of it all is making me feel all happy funny in my tummy.

That's very true. We need some new Mario themes like the ones from yore.

I'm gonna play mario sunshine all day today.
