Mario Galaxy 2 hands-on imminent

NGamer mag to publish gameplay impressions next month
The first Super Mario Galaxy 2 hands-ons will be with us by March 24 at the latest, if the Next Month page in the latest NGamer magazine is anything to go by.

"Finally! We go hands-on with the sequel the galaxy's been gagging for," the magazine teases for its next issue, which goes on sale next month.

The Mario sequel, which was revealed at E3 last year, has so far only been seen in this awesome video.

"More than 90% of what you'll see in Galaxy 2 is brand new," Mario daddy, Shigeru Miyamoto told us last year. "I'd say closer to 95, maybe even 99%. One of the new things was the inclusion of Yoshi, and also the use of the drill to open up and drill through stages."

We can't wait. We will of course have all the details from the upcoming hands-ons as they arrive.

Eugh no thanks. I thought the first Mario Galaxy was awful (cue name calling and kiddish attacks) so I think I'll give this one a miss.

I really enjoyed Mario Galaxy. Very few games can make an adult man grin like a fool by how cute they are. Rolling Eyes

Saying that, I didn't have the patience to finish the first one and am totally uninterested in a second version.

Why bother to rehash something that is going to be similar to the original in such a relatively short time? If they added online multi-player - now that would be great but unlikely. Laughing

Just because your too inept to play it doesnt mean other people didnt enjoy playing Galaxy. I finished it with both Mario and Luigi and looking forward to Galaxy 2.
WiiFuelee on 23 Feb '10
If this is more of the same, then great. More of one of the best games I've played in years! It was a lesson in game/level design!

It will be three years since the first Galaxy by the time this comes out, that's not that short a time is it? I suppose it is by Nintendo's standards.
ricflair on 23 Feb '10
The first SMG was a great game - one of, if not the best game of 2007. Provided they do evolve it, and not just give us more of exactly the same, I've got really high hopes for this one. I don't think it's a particularly short time between releases either. It'll be three years since the first came out by the time this gets released, and while that's not all that long by "full Mario" games standard, it's more of a gap than we've had for Uncharted, CoD, ME and Bioshock, to name a few.
ReaperMan on 23 Feb '10
There's enough in the video already shown to tell me this is gonna be as good as the first game. And that was just pure brilliance from start to finish.

this confirms to me that you are indeed a clueless merde.

can't wait to see previews, galaxy was the best game of the last decade and this one is going to be better and more badbass, damn i sound like cliffy b >.>
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
It's that Nintendo media summit thing tomorrow isn't it? Maybe we'll see more of it there...

Yes, yes. So you've said before on another Galaxy related article. If it really bothers you that much, why waste your time reading the article and then posting a comment on it ?

How exactly was the first one awful then ?
MisterBedo on 23 Feb '10
I thought the first was pretty good. Not my fave Mario of all time. I am actually having more fun with NSMBWii. Maybe because I get to play 4 players. It is such good fun and there are lots of laugh out loud moments when the s**t hits the fan in multiplayer.

Miyamoto did say there was a lot he wanted in the first that he didn't have time to put in so with that in mind, I reckon I will have more fun with the second. It was still a great addition to my collection. How could I miss ANY Mario game really. Smile
kimoak on 23 Feb '10
Super Mario Galaxy stands as my favourite game of all time, so I'm incredibly excited about the prospect of any new footage of Galaxy 2. Even more of the same would be enough to satisfy me: the original was almost flawless in every respect.

I totally respect peoples right to dislike games or whatever, I just don't get why so much hate for this particular series.

Now, if it was Sonic The Hedgehog I could totally understand. Those games were complete s**t.

"his boyfriend dumped him the day it came out, bad memories."

I didn't get too many complaints from your mum Wink and what the hell is a merde? if you're gonna insult someone at least have the dignity to spell correctly, that's not too much to ask is it?

And inept at playing Mario? I wouldn't say inept more like got bored. Considering every Mario game is the same game and I got bored of doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Collect stars
Jump on enemies
fight Bowser
Lather, rinse repeat as needed. There are just about a million other games better than this toss.

And the last time I checked EVERYONE could write their opinion on whatever they pleased. If you don't like mine on a game I didn't like then shut up and get over it.

Nice try guys keep em coming I always need a good laugh.
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
It took me a while to adapt to Super Mario Galaxy, as I didn't enjoy running on the underside of planets. However, I got used to it and I can honestly say it's the most thrilling, intense, adrenaline-pumping game I've played. Getting all the stars is mega intense (same with Sunshine and 64).

Now, I'm not too excited about a sequel, but I'm looking forward to it.

So what do you do on every FPS out there? Or football game? etc etc etc You catch my drift though I am sure Smile Not a dig of course, just that you could apply the same logic to plenty of games and genres.

And Merde is a French expletive. Google it if you can be arsed Smile
kimoak on 23 Feb '10
kimoak knows his stuff. listen to the man.
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
Marlon's opinion is rather rubbish.

Anyones OPINION that Galaxy wasn't amazing....is just an idiot.

Smile

My best game ever made.
stedman on 23 Feb '10
You're right I couldn't be bothered, just like I cant be bothered with the french in general.

But you're 100% right in what you say, a lot of games these days are the same it just seemed to me (personally which most of you have a problem with) is that Mario just doesn't change at all.

"Marlon's opinion is rather rubbish.

Anyones OPINION that Galaxy wasn't amazing....is just an idiot."

Where do I even begin with that Laughing
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
everyone thinks you're a t**twaffle bj, stop digging.
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
HAHAHAHAHAHA, oh man you never stop entertaining. If you ever get old enough to drink I owe you a "thank you" beer.
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
i am a really funny guy marlon, i just spoke to an o2 customer services girl and she said i was the highlight of her day. i'm already an adult, so i'll buy you a beer when you get our of your training pants and grow some hairs on your prunes.
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
Yeah, of course you're an adult. That explains the "sukkkkers" comment and the general lack of intelligence.

When will you learn kid Rolling Eyes

EDIT
And seeming as you're basically coming back at me with things I've already said to you. You're not even smart enough to attempt to bother with anymore. I think I'll just let you talk yourself into a corner. Next time your mum bends over for you give her my commiserations.
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
my mum did tell me about that time this t**t who needed anger management tried to f**k her but he had a maggot and couldn't get it in. must have been you.

*looks back at your email - yeh, definitely you.


the suckers comment was a sarcastic little comment, i was excited about the game and you took it out of context being the snappy, over reacting "hard man" that you are.
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
Yeah, yeah whatever. Heard better before Rolling Eyes

You'll need to do better than that. Laughing
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
hahaha alright man. enough of this.
play galaxy 2 and you never know, you may like it!
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
Come on you're trying to insult me! don't stay a quiter all your life reach for the brass ring! I'll encourage you a little if you want?

But to reply to your point. I doubt it, like I've said time and time again every Mario game is the same. Why would I like Galaxy 2 when I disliked Galaxy 1?
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
Sorry I turned up late to the party everyone, what I miss?

can't be bothered son! you may like it because different coloured yoshi's are in it!

no one is forcing you to like it Wink
Sinthetic on 23 Feb '10
"can't be bothered son! you may like it because different coloured yoshi's are in it!

Well from the way you and the others bitched and moaned when you found out I didn't like the first I call bullhit again Wink

But ok whatever, I see you cant be bothered anymore why change the habit of a lifetime on my account.

GOD OF WAR 3 EVERYONE!

Why read an article and comment on game you have no interest in that is clearly only about that game?
timmylove on 23 Feb '10
Because It's funny to see how utterly pathetic some people are when they can hardly comprehend the fact that I don't like the same game as them.

Look to my initial post I knew what was gonna come and lo and behold it did. No doubt I'll get the usual "you're a troll" BS or some more retarded garbage from Sinthetic but who's the more Pathetic?

Me for not liking what everyone else seemingly does or the people who attack me for it?

Here's a hint, It ain't me. People are allowed to have differences of opinion and the quicker some of the losers here realise that the better for them when they eventually go into the real world.

I've got no problem with anyone who likes this game, in fact it's good a game like Mario can still command such loyalty, but I do have a problem with these a$$holes who flame me because I don't have the same opinion as them.

Pretty straightforward I think but what is straightforward for me obviously isn't so for some of the other people here.

Now, I'm done with this because it's painfully obvious I'm just talking to the equivalent of a brick wall with most of the people here. And no matter what I say, for good or bad against Mario, they're not intelligent enough to understand me.

Right, so you did it to get a reaction and now are complaining about getting the reaction you wanted?
timmylove on 23 Feb '10
I loved Mario Galaxy I'm actually playing it again and remembering just how good it really is. As for the comments made by Marlon everyones entitled to their opinion really but what I dont get is the fact he states what everyone has come to expect from Mario games. Allow me to break it down if you dont know. Peach gets kidnapped by the Bowser gang Mario goes to save her on his way he gets up to his usual shananigans of jumping on enemies and collecting stars if you dont know that I dont know what rock you've been hiding under. Some may see it as repetitive but for me and I'm sure plenty of others Nintendo always find a way of making it feel fresh. I mean Mario 64 was different to Mario Sunshine, which is different to Mario Galaxy which in turn is different to New Super Mario Bros and they're all great games. So to say Galaxy is a rubbish game puts you in a small minority, a very very small minority. Sorry Confused
dm_1782 on 23 Feb '10
We get used to calling something rubbish when it in fact, isn't rubbish at all. Horses for courses and all that. Epic for me is Epic Fail for others. I tend to say something is not my bag as opposed to terrible... unless it's guiness. That stuff tastes like liquid dirt! Wink
kimoak on 23 Feb '10
kimoak knows his stuff. listen to the man.

I know he didn't but....

Merci Smile
kimoak on 23 Feb '10
"Right, so you did it to get a reaction and now are complaining about getting the reaction you wanted?"

Way to totally misunderstand what I was saying. And I've got no problem with being in a minority. The "majority" is usually just the side with the most idiots on it.
Marlonjb on 23 Feb '10
ahhhhhh

Smile

I've decided your opinion is wrong. I was highlighting the excuse word that most people tend to use "OPINION".

(how can an opinion be wrong omg!)

Very Happy

It's impossible not to fall in love with Galaxy....meaning that you actually like the game but think you don't.

don't worry, i've solved this problem.

I think the initial point Timmylove was trying to make was that why bother to make a comment on a game you clearly don't like if you really truly don't care for it then you wouldn't waste your own time posting a comment. ( Just so you know I have no problems with you disliking SMG)

I don't really like the God Of War games but I don't go posting slandering comments on forums against it out of respect to that particular games fan base your first post was just to provoke a reaction nothing more nothing less.

Anyway back on topic I really can't wait for this sequel, SMG is still my favorite Wii game.
