Seems like Nintendo may have some big announcements in store for Super Mario Galaxy, like the fact that it no longer goes by that name.

David Rodriguez discovered today that Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has mysteriously vanished from Nintendo's master list of games on their company website.

This is suspicious news in and of itself, but considering that video game mega-con E3 is just around the corner, SWL are willing to bet they're planning to drop the bomb and a new name.

Japanese games magazine Famitsu has slated Super Mario Galaxy for an October release in its latest list of release dates. Now, this list could just be a projection of expected release dates, but when it's Famitsu you're talking about, there's always the suspicion that, as is so regularly the case, they may know something we don't. If the game does indeed release in Japan in October, we hope Nintendo's translators have got their speed hats on because we're expecting it over here before ... » Read More

Nintendo Australia is in over-drive behind the scenes, preparing Wii for its big debut in Australia on December 7th, 2006. Last week, an opportunity was provided for the mass media and Australian publisher community to get their grubby hands on Wii.

According to the rarely-Nintendo focused GameArena, Nintendo Australia representatives lugged some Wii consoles to a Sydney nightspot, where games such as Wii Sports, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy were on show, to an enthusiastic reception.

The publication points out that traditionally, female attendees don't generally get too involved when it comes to covering games, but Nintendo's Wii was a whole different ball game. "Here, not only were the ladies getting involved - they were sticking to it," wrote the website.

"Everyone really embraced it and had a ball," Nintendo Australia spokesman Vispi Bhopti told Aussie-Nintendo.com. "It was great!"

Tuesday 22 August 2006 Super Mario 128, the name given to an eye-popping tech demo shown at Nintendo's SpaceWorld event in 2000, was a test concept and inspired the upcoming Wii adventure Super Mario Galaxy. "The parts in Mario Galaxy where you're running around on the surface have come from Mario 128," producer Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed, referring to Galaxy's planetoid-leaping gameplay. The original clip of Mario 128 showed 128 Marios racing around a curved, GameCube-styled Monopoly board ... » Read More

Wii has barely been fully unveiled and we've already got a brand new Mario game to salivate over. Super Mario Galaxy uses both the pointer and the nunchaku attachment to create a mixture of classic, 3D platforming and brand-new ways to interact with Mario's colorful, outer-space world. Running, jumping and butt-stomping all handle just like 2002's Super Mario Sunshine - that is to say, the analog control stick and normal buttons are used. The pointer, however, lets you directly affect items ... » Read More
