Super Mario Galaxy

I always thought there were a ton of NiGHTs fans on here, but maybe they all died or something...

So you can't control the camera at all in SMG??? That doesn't sound very reassuring to me.

The way it's broken intos small planets makes it easier to figure out where the camera needs to be. I had zero problems. But indeed, as far as I can tell, the camera is not controllable at present.

I hope Sonic Teams saves their effort for a Billy Hatcher sequel instead of making anther Sonic or Night game, BH owns everything Sonic and Nights combined.

While I disagree on nights, I agree I would mcuh rather see a new billy hatcher game than a new sonic. I'm just tired of the endless re-hash sonic games being made. None of the new 3-d ones can control worth a damn and rush was a major re-hash, good but a re-hash anyway.

And to me the fun of nights was mastering the grade system and it can really put you through the ringer. Plus I loved the levels the just dripped with whimsy and were a joy to play through. I don't remember that song from the game, did I miss it or is it fan written?

Didn't you ever play Samba? Thats like the coolest song on there, bar none. C'mon man...

...or at least... I think thats the song in Samba...

Just watched the spider video, that was great stuff. The robot is still my fave baddie though at least visually. The space theme gives it such an epic appearance. There was one shot I have seen a few times where Mario is on a planet and you can see the earth (?) in the background with a sunrise. Nice.

I remember it mainly from the end of Christmas NiGHTS.

Really, there's a lot of fun to be had with that game. It's like the first couple Sonic games in that it's fun to play through many times regardless of how short it is. There are a lot of nuances in the gameplay that I didn't even know about for years, and I still loved it. Haters be damned.

And it's kind of late to say it, but I thought it was really cool that Mario Galaxy was borrowing ideas from Shadow of the Colossus too. The idea of a first party Nintendo game looking to a first pary Sony game for inspiration seems kind of odd, but at least they can still recognize great game design.

You know... Without my glasses, when i saw the first bit of Mario Galaxy, i thought, "OMG! It's Nights!" I don't know if i said that already.

you did:
