Video: Mario Galaxy 2 travels to planet Mario 64

by Richard Mitchell on May 19th 2010 6:30PM

Upon watching the Super Mario Galaxy 2 video after the break, there's a very real chance you will be smitten, smacked or otherwise clobbered by an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. Nintendo, you see, decided to slip at least one Super Mario 64 level, Whomp's Fortress, into Super Mario Galaxy 2. The spirally mountain, the Whomp, the delightful music -- it's all there. Seriously, pour the Kool-Aid, heat up some pizza rolls and it'll be childhood all over again.

Epic!!!

No word in the English language nor any Latin root can describe how balls to the wall this is.

You just did.

well.

i have to buy a Wii now.

I'm having a weird feeling of deja vu.

Agreed, the graphics look identical!

Naw it's running the power of two N64s duct taped together.

Duh.

Graphics? Seriously? Making this game in 8-bit would still kick more ass than most games out there.

me too, but is it beyond nerdy to know that two of the whomps are missing?????!?!?

Being perfectly honest, I'm absolutely repulsed by the graphics of Super Mario Galaxy. Everything up to Sunshine I loved, but Galaxy just doesn't feel right to me.

Good thing for the downvoting system :D

Galaxy is pimp.

Why did people downvote Sled? If anything, I thought he was implying that it is even better BECAUSE the graphics are identical!

Anyways, thank you Nintendo. Every time I start to doubt you, you pull something that makes me look at companies like Sony and Microsoft, laugh at them, then go out and buy one of your games

I checked it earlier, and it didn't look like the pirahna plants were sleeping like they used to.

But still great!

Love the re-mixed soundtrack. Can't wait for this to arrive.

Mmm .. Pizza Rolls.

Mondos and Kool Aid squeezes!

Those cheese and cracker things with the red spread stick, Dunk 'ems!

Instant purchase: Confirmed

purchase what? Mario 64?

If I could up-vote you further, I would more than gladly do it. If only...

So maybe sometimes Nintendo really DOES care about us..

SHAKING AND CRYING.

If I didn't already have a preorder in, I sure as heck would now.

you silly person. You have your monitor calibrated wrong. This is most defiantly better:)

What, no Bob-Omb Battlefield?

Actually, yes. The video on nintendo.co.jp shows Bob-Omb Battlefield as well.

Dislike of Mario Galaxy dissipating...

Interest in Mario Galaxy 2 rising... rising...

Your interest isn't the only thing that's rising.
Giggity.

Urge to kill...fading...

Who do you think you are....Mr. Furious?

Oh f...k yeah!! Cant wait to pound on that thing's back one more time, just like the good old days.

That sounded sexual.

Sounded?

I'd say more along the lines of "Flat Out Implied"

*Drinks the Kool-Aid*

*drinks your blood*

How do you like it asshole!

Oh yeaahh!

I think I'm going to cry.

Awesome.

Seriously. Do you people have to tell us every level of this game? Why would you need to ruin a fantastic surprise like this in a pointless one-paragraph description?

People are already going to buy this game based on all the other original levels highlighted in previous articles. We don't need a reason like this to be posted.

Before anyone rants on my comment and argues how I can just "not click on the link", consider that the news is plastered top and center as "Video: Mario Galaxy 2 travels to planet Mario 64".

Now, stop ruining what's left of the game's surprises.

You could just not click on the link.

I agree with you. I've had easter eggs spoiled for me before, and it kind of ruins it.

Too much media giving things away in games before they even release does suck... Though this is the only video that's raised my interest in MG2 so far. Mario 64 has been my favorite 3D Mario even over Galaxy, so an easter egg like this could be a selling point for suckers of nostalgia like me.

This kind of thing is par for the course when you're reading multiple gaming blogs per day. When I'm really anticipating a game I pretty much shun the internet for the week or two leading up until launch specifically so that I don't have things like "They remade a level from Mario 64, one of your favorite games ever, and put it in Mario Galaxy 2!" spoiled for me. I wasn't in spoiler prevention mode for Galaxy 2 because I wasn't that excited about it until recently (when I heard respected reviewers say it was a mostly new experience, and not a lot of retread)

It sucks, but whaddayagunnado?

i'm pretty sure this isn't an easter egg but intentionally released to generate interest in the game...

I agree man... I'm totally happy but... I'd rather they had just said "New Mario Galaxy 2 footage will blow your mind... again".
or something like that.... I woudn't have clicked.. I've been trying to avoid spoilers, but... this one was impossible to avoid =s

btw, I ddn't watch the video.

Actually, for me this video is the straw that breaks camels back when it comes to preordering.

I agree though, they shouldn't have spoiled it in the headline.

For some reason, all I can think of when I see that is two Japanese guys yelling a lot. I wonder why... :P

I love those videos :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this have been much more awesome if WE were playing the game and got to the world ourselves?

That's it. Jesus works for Nintendo.

My resume goes in for review tomorrow. I'll bring back proof for you guys.

"That's it. Jesus works for Nintendo."

if by Jesus you mean Shigeru Miyamoto, then yes he does.
