Oct 3, 2007 We've been waiting so long for Mario Galaxy, but the return of our bomping, leaping, moustachioed hero is now within touching distance - and Nintendo is stoking our excitement with these glassy new shots. You know what you're getting with Mario, but this time around there's sure to be plenty of gameplay surprises. Even if you've read all our hands on coverage, getting time with the game itself will be a fresh and eye-opening experience. God, can we wait until 16 November? ... » Read More

OK, so you've got your Mario duvet, your Mario watch and your Mario T-shirt that says 'What happens in the Mushroom Kingdom stays in the Mushroom Kingdom'. Still feel there's something missing? Check these out - Legacy X Nintendo 07 shoes. Yep, Mario themed trainers. We wouldn't actually advise wearing them. Although we're sure they're good shoes and probably waterproof considering all the plumbing Mario supposedly does, there are only 400 pairs in existence. That means they're collectable. ... » Read More

A review of Super Mario Galaxy that cropped up in Belgian magazine 'Gunk' is far from what it seems and was not done using a final copy of the game, Nintendo has told CVG.

They gave Mario's next quest 92 percent in what would have been the world exclusive review, which spans just a single page and isn't even shouted about on the cover.

Oct 1, 2007 Super Mario Galaxy, in case you didn't already know, will be brilliant. Even the so-called 'disappointing' Mario Sunshine was still a fantastic game - so Galaxy, with Wii's new technology and a hefty time spent in development, is surely going to be great. In fact, it definitely is great, according to Belgian gaming mag Gunk who've just given Mario's space-adventure a healthy 92/100. This world-first review lists the game's good points as 'It's the same Mario' and 'Colour palette', ... » Read More

Super Mario Galaxy isn't released in Japan for another month, but a Belgian gaming magazine has published a review of the much-anticipated platformer - an analysis that many gamers are looking on with suspect eyes.

The publication, Gunk, awards Super Mario Galaxy a score of 92%, but given that it is still generally too early to expect any journalists (let alone Europeans, who receive the title later than in North America and Japan) to be sent review copies of the game, Nintendic is also not sure it is a critical write-up of the genuine article.

Sept 17, 2007 Eagle-eyed forum dwellers across the internet have discovered a hidden message/humorous design accident on the Super Mario Galaxy logo that spells out 'U R MR GAY'. Have a gander at the left-hand picture below of Super Mario Galaxy's box art and look at the placement of the seven bright stars dotted on various letters of the game's logo. If you scribble out all the letters leaving only those decorated with a star - as we've done in the right-hand image - it leaves you with the ... » Read More

"One of our readers has been hunting down information on this, as have I. I actually ran out to an EB Games this morning to check it out. Reader Andre had heard from a GameStop employee that Super Mario Galaxy had hit 400,000 preorders via GameStop/EB in the US. He has gone through a few more employees, and keeps getting the same answer. I have now asked two employees about the preorder totals, without offering up the 400,000 number. Both employees gave me the same 400,000 response. It's not an official number by any means, but let's hope it is at least indicative of the excitement level for the game."

Sept 10, 2007 Weve just uncovered 26 new shots of Super Mario undertaking his latest, galaxy wide, mission to save princess Peach, due to be released for Wii on 12 November, and found ourselves drawn to two in particular. The shots in question depict Mario battling flying bats, spiders and Goombas with pumpkins for heads in the grounds of an old house. Weve already seen, what we believe to be, the inside of this gothic building in the E3 trailer and given that Nintendo are paying homage to ... » Read More

This will be the first time Mario will shoot fireballs since his console quests went 3D, and hopefully we'll see him donning his fly red and white Fireball Mario suit, too. Details on the mysterious plot have also finally emerged; Princess Peach, Mario and the gang were gathering to celebrate the passing of a comet, ... » Read More

The very first story details have been revealed via the latest edition of Nintendo Power, for Mario's upcoming outer space adventure, Super Mario Galaxy. Here's how it went down in the magazine:

"Every hundred years a comet passes over the Mushroom Kingdom and rains down magical stars and stardust, and as Princess Peach and the citizens of the kingdom are celebrating the centennial event, Bowser and his legions attack. As Mario attemps to put a stop to Bowser's shenanigans, but things go awry: the next thing he knows, he finds himself on a mysterious moon high above the Mushroom Kingdom.

The game will have 120 stars to retrieve and will feature 40 galaxies and six major regions.

While fingers are crossed in the hope that Super Mario Galaxy is at least as big as Super Mario 64 (which had 15 main levels, and numerous smaller ones), it is reported that Mario's next quest will take him through six worlds.

CVG suspects that this accounts to the environments of the main worlds in the game (so far we've seen fire, water, sand, haunted houses and Bee worlds) as well as more generic space environments with smaller rock platforms, and what appear to be bonus platform worlds - similar to those in Super Mario Sunshine.

When dungaree advocate Mario takes to the stars in the upcoming Wii adventure, Super Mario Galaxy, he'll be joined by a new, super-fringed femme called Rosetta - a cutesy looking lady (check out her disembodied head below) that is currently causing a storm of speculation on the internet. Is she elbowing in on Peach's patch as Mushroom Kingdom's number one damsel in distress? Well, we don't think there's any danger of Peach losing her title as most frequently kidnapped - it's been established ... » Read More

New scans of Super Mario Galaxy has surfaced and while many of the screens are the same ones from the E3 last week, there are about 3 brand new gorgeous screens. However the most important and intruiging part of the scan is pictures of what could be "new princess" to save. We say that because while it looks similar to Peach, the text says it is Rosetta.
