Nintendo has released a brand new trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2, showing the exploits of the portly plumber and ... okay, look. We can't do this anymore. The dude's obviously not just a plumber these days. Try astronaut. Try dinosaur wrangler. Try planetoid driller. And just try not to get excited for the game's launch on May 23rd.

What makes my head explode is that there are 3 real Mario games released for a single home console generation for the first time since the NES.

No complaining about graphics on the wii! The wii is actually capable of making good graphics. But it all depends on the style the game has, sure the wii can't make "real" looking games like the 360 or PS3 but it can make cartoony games like super mario galaxy and de blob look completely good. It's not the wii's fault there are games with terrible graphics on it. Only one game needs to be said.... Guitar Hero 3 had the WORST graphics!

Um... I use my computer monitor (1920x1200) to play Wii games, via an upscaler from the component cables. The monitor is 24", but considering I sit computer-monitor-distance away from it and not TV-distance away, that probably makes it equivalent to at least a 50" HDTV. Mario Galaxy looks totally awesome on it.
Don't get me wrong it would look even more totally awesome if Wii had more graphical power and could render its graphics in 640p like the other current-gen consoles. But if something actually looks worse on your big TV than it does on a small TV (rather than just bigger and slightly soft, like DVDs), then your TV has a shit scaler. Not the game's fault.
May 23... that's still 3 months away! Argh.

I am not gonna try to give my opinion, since its very clear that writing anything less than "my head exploded" will guarantee me a down vote from the fanboys.

I don't remember saying anything bad about the game, you guys assume too much.
Like I said, fanboys will downvote me.

You don't need to ban him joystiq..... sure the picture may be innapropriate to a point but if you think it's that bad then just let him come on here without a picture.

The only thing seriously innapropriate here is banning samfish! Joystig Must Be Overthrown! Captain Planet were gonna need you for saying funny things about them that make them feel stupid! We are going to need sony boy. He is willing to sacrifice himself if needed. And Mikia were gonna need you. You still don't know what samfish said. And Mr. Khan........ Oh you already know why we need you! Samfish, we shall evenge your death!

I was able to read Samfish's comment on his profile page. He said that Mario had physical relations with Princess Peach in order to end whispers about his orientation.

Wow after looking at his profile I gotta say, there is no reason to ban him for that. Are we in pre-school still? People say much worse on this site and get away with it fine. The inconsistancy in banning people is just ridicu [banned. seriously inappropriate]

Guys, that's NOT what he said. That was a different comment.
What he actually said was something along the lines of rubbing Mario juices over his nether regions, in infinitely more explicit detail.
I don't know why Joystiq jumped the gun here and banned him, when they usually resort to just post deletion for grossly inappropriate stuff. Samfish was a staple.
