Topic: Super Mario Galaxy 2: Everyone Except For Adam's Dream Come True?

If this is as close to Super Mario Sunshine 2 as we'll ever get, then so be it. Just get this one galaxy right, Nintendo.

I never owned Sunshine, this world should be cool

Pianta!

sunshine is good but the worst one of the 3!

Awesome.

galaxy is good but the worst one of the 3!
64 is good but the worst one of the 3!
It just depends on how you look at it.

64 was more ground breaking, Galaxy is the slicker presentation. Sunshine is a great game, not scared to be difficult, solid effort.

Probably not the best of the Mario games, but certainly no disappointment.

Sunshine was very frustrating in more than one ways but overall a very enjoyable experience. I know this will be better than Galaxy 1... I hope.

Well then look at the camera controls in sunshine, the fact that you run around with a water dispenser all the time (you want that in every mario? If it's so brilliant?) and the epic feeling it lacks in comparison to Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy. I'm not saying Sunshine isn't a good game, just the least good 3D Mario.

I think it probably is, yeah. Some people take the leap from 'least good 3D Mario' to 'terrible game' though, and these people are mistaken.

I can see where you guys are coming from, but I think Sunshine is just the most 'fun' Mario; I don't care about anything else.

Technically yes, since from what I've seen, Yoshi offers many different abilities, much like the water pack did in Sunshine. Not to mention the Sunshine Galaxy. Now all it needs is an awesome hub world with a bunch of secrets and characters to interact with, and is nothing like the $h!tty one in the first Galaxy, and it will have redeemed itself to me, and perhaps to all other fans of Super Mario Sunshine.

I thought I was the only one thinking " More of Sunshine!" when I saw the footage.

It is a good game in it's on right and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm as exited about this screenshot as you are. Looks great.

Haven't played Sunshine in ages, how many stars do you need to beat the game? I've got at least 60 and I still haven't got to Bowser.

It's much harder than 64 and Galaxy, which I did the whole 120 stars for, or maybe just not as fun...

I've been thinking the same thing, for a number of reasons beyond the inclusion of a Delphino planet. One of these was pointed out already:

Indeed; the quick-run effect of that one edible item is very similar to the speed nozzle. And let's not forget that this game joins Sunshine as the only 2 main-series 3D Mario games to feature (a playable) Yoshi. But even on a more basic level, this game seems to be going for the bright, vacation-y feel of Sunshine, instead of the more, um, galactic look of Galaxy.

I'm torn on that. I loved Sunshine, but I also have to say that I prefer the darker interplanetary scenery of Galaxy to just about anything composed of green plants and blue skies. However, it will be a great summer game, I'm sure, and I also expect a whole lot of variety beyond what we've seen so far.

Don't forget, by the way, that Sunshine featured the "space" segments where you'd run across huge, rotating 3D objects (sans waterpack). Those were the closest precursor to Galaxy in the series.

Now, this is an awesome idea. Mix the setting of Sunshine with the much superior gameplay of Galaxy 2. Not a bad idea, Nintendo.

Obviously this is going to be awesome. Unfortunately this Sunshine stage is only going to be a portion of the game but it is a great idea. Hope that I'll Pintisimo returns! (I know that I spelled his name wrong.)

Those were also some of the best Mario stages ever.

Awesome screenshot, Od.
