A galaxy of Mario Galaxy videos

The videos should definitely give people a pretty solid idea of what Super Mario Galaxy will be all about, especially those that haven't read our original impressions from E3. Those who felt confined by Super Mario Sunshine and Delfino Island, Galaxy is looking to make you completely forget all about it.

Amazing Intro.
kennethrios @ Oct 2nd 2007 7:53PM
It is pretty and it looks more fun than Sunshine.
Jerk Face @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:27PM
Dick cancer is more fun than Super Mario Sunshine.
colin @ Oct 2nd 2007 10:27PM

B1gC72 @ Oct 3rd 2007 2:33AM
lol dick cancer
megaStryke @ Oct 3rd 2007 9:41AM
Cancer is funny now? Damn, I missed that memo. I only just got the one that announced that AIDS is now funny.
SGT Grumbles @ Oct 2nd 2007 7:54PM
This should keep me busy. After only seeing the first video I already know I will love this game. I mean, how can a game with space traveling pirate ships go wrong?
Zach @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:01PM
umm is that Gannon's music from a link to the past when bowser steals the castle. Cause it sure sounds like it.
Metasheep @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:12PM
It sounds like the ship music from Super Mario Bros. 3
Ace121212 @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:01PM
Space + Mario = Awesome. Simple math.
wait in the car @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:02PM
Beautiful
Slvrgun @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:09PM
This looks good. Unfortunately as it seems this and Smash will probably be the last really good titles for a long time. I have Resident Evil, Paper Mario, and Excite Truck, and other than those two games I just mentioned and Metroid Prime 3 I don't see much steam in the Wii. Hopefully I'm wrong.

But...but, Wii is for casuals. THOSE GAMES DON'T EXIST!!!
Slaziman @ Oct 3rd 2007 8:39AM
And those are gonna be good games right?
I'll be generous and say that at least half of those will get scores under the 7.
Really, lists like these are useless.
Sean @ Oct 3rd 2007 11:46AM
zzzzzzz @ that list.
This game, though, will be the balls.
ShortFuse @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:11PM
I can see why this was the true successor to Mario64. Think Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World, Mario64 and New Super Mario Bros. There were many different levels. There different themes for different levels (water, desert, ice, etc). Mario Sunshine was mostly water levels and strayed from the original style. Mario Galaxy seems to go back to that style and will be the true successor to Mario64.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:49PM
But you forgot SMB3!!! The best one! Giant Land! The Hammer Bros. suit! The Tanuki suit! The frog suit! The warp whistles! The arcade Mario Bros.-styled multiplayer minigames! The first boo and the first dry bones in the first fortresses! Climbing up that castle into the sky world! The first appearances of the Koopa Kids! KURIBO'S MOTHERFUCKING SHOE!
Joel @ Oct 2nd 2007 10:03PM
OMG that makes me so glad that I have a Wii. I think that will trump Zelda and Metroid. Fantastic. I can't wait.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:19PM
This game is looking better and better everytime I see something new. This will be way better than mario 64. I didn't really like Sunshine but this looks to be BETTER!
Tron7 @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:23PM
I don't know if I am more excited for this or brawl...one has flying ships and the other flying wario propelled from farting.
I have never seen a game environment that looks so fun to play around in. I love how colorful it is.
Namssorg @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:25PM
Holy crap. Is that intro in-engine? The Wii has really begun to surprise me. Metroid looked amazing.
Slvrgun @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:41PM

Bully: Scholarship Edition Didn't this come out like 2 years ago on PS2
Ghost Squad No
Sidepocket @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:46PM
So basically you just have a very bad taste in games.
Ren @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:55PM
No.
megaStryke @ Oct 3rd 2007 9:37AM
Not giving Zack & Wiki a chance is like stomping on baby puppies. You don't want to be like Shagi, do you? I'm also surprised that you are willing to give Dragon Quest Swords a chance but not games like Ghost Squad of Trauma Center. Swords is basically an on-rails shooter with a sword in place of a gun.
Oh, and Oboro Muramasa Youtoden? Wiki it. It's by the makers of Odin Sphere. Wii-exclusive ninja brawler with the same hand-drawn animation style as Odin Sphere. Look it up.

Koopaknight29 @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:41PM
Hell yes.
Now -that's- how you're suppose to do a hostile takeover. They even threw in crazy Kamek for good measure.
So very bought'd.
Koopaknight29 @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:02PM
Nah, just a wide one. I've bought and played Metroid Prime 3, Fire Emblem: PoR, Sonic (the good ones), Advance Wars, Company of Heroes, Command & Conquer 3 (and series), Civilizations 4, Resident Evil 4, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros., Call of Duty, even Halo.
Mario is just a personal favorite of mine that's all.
Ren @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:06PM
Koopaknight, I believe it was a glitch that made you receive those replies...mine was meant for the one above your comment.
Koopaknight29-(Nintendo Loyalist) @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:08PM
Mmm, that -would- make sense...
Joystiq's reply system strikes once again!
megaStryke @ Oct 3rd 2007 9:39AM
What the FUCK!?!? How did my comment get in THERE!?!? That should have been a reply to someone else!
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:42PM
That game looks amazing. The intro had nostalgia, action, humor, and toads. Perfect.
Nessman @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:43PM
holy sh** a next-gen quality title on the wii? I was starting to lose hope.. I still think i'll get Umbrella Chronicles first, and hope for Galaxy for Christmas or something.
Sidepocket @ Oct 3rd 2007 4:27AM
You know its coming out on November 12th right?
Flying Spaghetti Monster @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:44PM
You think this looks next-gen? You obviously have NOT seen Ratchet and Clank yet have you?
While this game looks good for a Wii title, especially the use of color, this looks like CRAP next to RaC.
And in my opinion, RaC will be more fun to play. The demo from Gamestop is freakin sweet.
Fernando Rocker (NDF - Water Ring) @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:58PM
If you really think that Ratchet is more fun than Mario, you definitely are a noob. I bet that you dont even was a gamer when the NES was launched, and thats why you dont know how a Mario game can be so fucking fun. I chose anyday to play Mario Bros. 3 on my NES, than play the monotone and extremely easy Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2, and Im sure that Mario Galaxy is going to be a better game than Ratchet.
Anni @ Oct 2nd 2007 10:00PM
It's too bad I can't see you say "RaC will be more fun to play" in real life so I can see you say it with a straight face. It'd be ten times MORE hilarious then.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 2nd 2007 11:59PM
You can't say "next gen" anymore. We are in the 7th generation. All 7th gen consoles are out. No 8th gen consoles are out. You especially can't say "looks next-gen" when it's strictly a historical term. If you want to be accurate in your pathetic trolling, say "It looks like a 6th generation game!" Here you can even use "last gen" or "6th gen" if you want. There you go. Carry on with your trolling.
P.S. You're wrong anyway.
Flying Spaghetti Monster @ Oct 3rd 2007 1:41AM
Excuse me if I have a different opinion than you. Fernando, you such a hypocritical jackass. Fernando, I was playing games long before you were a nutt stain in your momma's drawers.
Listen, if most of you like Mario better, that's fine. Just because I like RaC better, does NOT make me a noob.
Man, some of joystiq's posters can be so closed minded.
Excuse me if I do not want to be a lemming.
I do not like Mario anymore. That is MY opinion, and that does NOT make me wrong.
Since when is someones PERSONAL opinion wrong?
samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Oct 3rd 2007 2:08AM
Oh screw you, you half-wit troll. If you don't want people to rip on your opinions, maybe you should start by not coming in and saying the game looks like crap, KillJebus/GodIsAMyth/Hard Gay/whatever else you call yourself..
And seriously – if you like Ratchet & Clank but not Mario, the only reason you don't like Mario is because you're a completely blinded fanboy. Sad, really.
megaStryke @ Oct 3rd 2007 9:45AM
There actually is a new rule on Joystiq that says GodisaMyth/FSM/killjebus is not allowed to have his own opinions. That's the result for acting like a douchebag 100% of the time.
shivr @ Oct 3rd 2007 9:58AM
lol... Megastryke + samfish tagteam, I like it.
As much as your entitled to your PERSONAL opinion about R&C, spaghetti, we're entitled to our PERSONAL opinions that you're an idiot.
JodyAnthony (FDF - Hedonism Bot) @ Oct 2nd 2007 8:51PM
looks so freaking fantastic
fester @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:08PM
Looks really nice! Saw rep in EB today; she said NOV.[mumblemumble] to just before XMAS.
flameofdoom666 @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:08PM
This looks like one hell of a game!
Jason @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:20PM
Wow, really impressive videos... I like the overall more interactive feeling the environment seems to have in terms of gameplay.
Autopsy15 @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:20PM
The mage was my most hated enemy in Super Mario World. He teleported right in front of you, turned blocks into Koopas, AND shot projectiles at you! He was harder to beat than most of the bosses.
Mighty Shockwave @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:33PM
LOL ATARI GRAFIX AMIRITE?
Seriously, I am amazed at what a high poly count there is. The water effects in the first video are amazing, and, if Mario wasn't a Nintendo IP, I would swear that this could not possibly be a Wii game. Also, the variety looks excellent. A definite buy for me.
Though, it seems that the last quarter of the third video really shows that hereally is Mr. Gay!
hoagie @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:56PM
Looks fantastic!
Flying ships from SMB3!
