Counting down the days until Super Mario Galaxy 2? Although the game is reputedly much more difficult than its predecessor, Nintendo still wants everyone to enjoy it, so the European release will contain a DVD containing helpful videos and tutorials of advanced moves.
Assuming it's a standard DVD, the disc of course won't play on a standard Wii console, limiting its usefulness just a tad, but it's still nice to get something extra. If the videos are up to the standard of New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Super Skills demonstrations then this extra could be very cool indeed.

Wow this looks neat.
With the EU release???
>:3
That's odd.
Where is NA's Release Item or Preorder Bonus? Please nintendo give NA another preorder item for Mario Galaxy 2 .
Well I think EU deserves this since they get it later than NA. Weeeee mario!
Hooray!
I'll need this, since I haven't even beaten Super Mario Galaxy and the sequel's supposedly harder.
Feed me more bonus content.
Seems cumbersome. Just put the tutorials on the disc, like every other game ever.
@Adam
Not enough space possibly?
Woo, more stuff for us!
Exclusive to EU!*
*Until someone uploads it to YouTube
I'm just going to buy the US version. It will be cheaper and won't come with the useless DVD.
I'd be upset... but it doesn't really sound like we're missing much.
@RadioShadow - In the US, the game costs $50 (£32). Here in the UK, it costs £35. If we got the game three months after the States did, I could understand someone importing, but when we get it two-and-a-half weeks after the States, and we get an extra DVD to boot, I can't possibly understand your reasoning behind importing.
Neat!
Still, it's quite funny the fact that it's a DVD. unplayable on the Wii...
But I thank the initiative.
Everyone meaning Europe...ha ha...funny. >_>
We don't need this since here in NA because we are such advanced Mario Galaxy players.
Wow, that's great. I really hope it is as good as the near perfect first one.
Wait, the US doesn't get it? AUUUUUUGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I might be getting this along with the game.
Difficulty sounds like a nice addition, here's hoping it's not restrictive like the original.
Cool i've been looking foward to this game
Too bad you can't watch the DVD on your wii... haha
I'd rather have something else.
@18.Dragoon: Hahaha. You Americans havn't chnaged a bit.
@Big A2
Grrrrrr. >=/
I'm going to have to watch this DVD on my 360. XD
Wow, what a lame bonus.
Couldn't they just put the videos on the Nintendo Channel?
I don't get it, but sure, why not!
What about the other releases ??
Is it a bad thing that we're in Europe are getting a dvd with the game? I have mixed feelings to be honest. I bet North America will get a better deal, I just wish I could go to the Nintendo world store in New York for when the game is released over there, might be loads of limitied edition goodies!!!
This is just pointless, Even if the game is hard I would not spoil the game using a DVD that does'nt even work on my wii.
How would it help anyway, you still have to do the level yourself just like in New Super Mario Bros Wii.
Sweet. I hope the Australian release includes the DVD as well.
Wow a DVD we can't Watch on the Wii
Thanks alot Nintendo
_....The Mario Coin was much Better
I think a behind-the-scenes dvd would have been much more interesting, rather than some "helpful" videos. I am going to be so glad to own this game on day one, even if us U.S. gamers don't get anything extra.
This might sound really weird but I hate Mario games. Well except Mario Bros. 3.
This makes me happy because now I know the game will be hard.
uhmm... could this mean... knowing the wii can technically play a DVD... they make the disk play on both the wii and your DVD player, with a simple update... Wii DVD channel maybe???
@ alexanderpas
You made a good point there! Nintendo please confirm...
Well with a 5-6 weeks before the new game is released Nintendo won't announce anything just yet.
I bet some how North America will get the DVD!! I'm looking forward to the game coming out, with the DVD will make it an even better purchase. I'd prefar a limited edition tin presentation or a coin, I bet Nintendo are thinking that they can't win...
DVD??!!! (Screems and runs outside then hits a fence then explodes)
Not fair!!! Oh well. Looks like I'm just going to have to order this item on eBay. I can play PAL DVDs too. I just hope it's not region-coded but I have resources available to deal with that as well. My favorite super Skills video on NSMBW is the multiplayer demo for world 1-3, in which Luigi don't move the controls the entire time, but instead gets swallowed and spat out by Yoshi, bounces enemies, grabs coins, 1-ups, etc and even gets flagpoled!!!
Does this have anything to do with the SMG2 trailer 3 on the Nintendo Channel where the "ghost" lady does the level for Mario? I haven't read anything about that at all.
