Europeans get tutorial DVD with Super Mario Galaxy 2

by Mike Schramm on May 3rd 2010 8:15PM

Nintendo really wants to make sure you know how to play Super Mario Galaxy 2, so in addition to the Cosmic Guide feature of the game (which will play for you past the hard parts, if you so choose), it'll also be releasing a bonus DVD in Europe with video tutorials of how to pull off some of the game's toughest tricks.

We'll skip right over the irony of Nintendo releasing a bonus disc that can't be played on the Wii (since it's just a standard DVD), and tell you that we've contacted Nintendo of America to see if those of us in the States will have this same option. In the meantime, you might want to grab a copy of the first Galaxy and start practicing, because with all of this extra help that Nintendo is offering, SMG2 must be really, really hard.

I'm buying a copy of that DVD as soon as it gets on eBay.

I thought that cloud was FLUDD for a second.

At any rate this should be a good game IF they fix the horrendous camera controls that plagued the first game. Though I doubt very seriously that they will.

Umm, what horrendous camera controls?

The ones that made exploration impossible and most underwater levels virtually unplayable.

I understand that having to control the camera AND Mario both would scare the crap out of the casuals (/sarcasm) but there's no reason to take away camera control for what, essentially half the levels?

It's a shame too because the game looked great, but the only way to see most of it was to physically stop and go to 1st person view, and you couldn't even do that sometimes.

Oh crap I'm talking to someone with one of those gay 4chan avatars, so you must be one of those casuals right? I guess I'll stop now before you and your leet hacker friends decide to troll me or something.

I actually don't frequent 4chan. I just liked how funny the pic looked so I used it. I don't think an avatar should define someone's entire character. Do you honestly believe that? Anyway, I guess you're one of those gamers who like to take in everything a game has to offer, and the initial camera control scheme in SMG ruined it for you. That's fine I guess. I'm not like you so I didn't mind the camera at all. As a matter of fact, I beat the game during 4 days on/off as a bet. I was brawling inbetween.

I think you're on your own here, aang. I didn't think that any part of the game was unplayable.

"horrendous camera controls that plagued the first game."

I like drugs too!!

Except my Wii CAN play DVDs. *cough*

I see what you did there.

A tutorial DVD on how to play a 3-d platformer. Now here's a hardcore effort to convert the casual into a more sustainable income base.

This kinda makes me sick. If you can't have fun figuring out a game, which is part of the fun of games...used to be anyways, then maybe you need to stick to board games. Like Chutes and Ladders, or Win, Lose or Draw.

I just don't know Nintendo anymore.
