Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Mario Galaxy leaked to the 'net A NeoGAF post has information on the apparent leak of the Mario Galaxy code well before the game's official release. It seems that the demo copies found at local Electronics Boutique stores only have a ten minute time limit when played on EB's proprietary demo machines, and when played in consumer Wiis, the disc actually contains the full version of Galaxy. Taking advantage of this, a scurvy EB employee lifted the disc, copied the data from it, and uploaded it all directly into the cargo hold of his nearest Internet receptacle.

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Official Nintendo Mag gives Galaxy 97% Issue 23 of the Official Nintendo Magazine UK hits shelves tomorrow with the first English-written review of Miyamoto's platform stunner, and the big, fat 97 percent slapped on it means they like it quite a bit.

"It's funny because the thing that annoys us most is that its fantastic graphics show us the sort of games we could have been playing for the past year had some developers bothered to pull their finger out," reviewer Chris Scullion says, in praise of the lush visuals we've been shouting about for months.

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Elves Are Out, Aliens In The New York Times report on October 16, 2007:

Where have all the elves gone?

That's the question gamers and the people who love them are bound to ask this fall as they take in the latest crop of big-budget video games. Since the 1970s, dragons, orcs, wizards and dwarfs have been staples of interactive entertainment, yet this holiday season there are hardly any top new games in the traditional fantasy mode.

Instead 2007 has been dominated by perhaps the deepest lineup of science fiction games ever.

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - IGN GamerMetrics: Super Mario Galaxy, Zack & Wiki To See Boost from Smash Bros. Delay In light of Nintendo's announcement that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed until 2008, IGN's GamerMetrics analyzed the implications that this delay will have on the holiday sales of other upcoming games available for the Nintendo Wii.

According to GamerMetrics analyst Nick Williams, the resulting findings put Super Mario Galaxy at the top of the most anticipated games list. Rounding out the top three are Capcom's Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Oct 11, 2007 It's difficult to maintain excitement for a game you've hardly even seen in action for two years, but it's never hard to get worked up for Super Mario Galaxy. And with this new movie montage under our belts, we're more eager than ever to get reaquainted with Mario's stellar new adventure. Most of interest are the two new powers shown off - Ice Mario and "Oh look he's a spring" Mario. Though we're sure Nintendo has a much cuter name for that last one. Galaxy seems to be giving our ... » Read More

Oct 11, 2007 Peer closely, now. Is that a green hat? Blue dungarees? White gloves? It's a blurry image, for sure, but we're optimistic that the green/blue smudge in the screenshot below is, in fact, Luigi - making an appearance in the Ghost House level of Super Mario Galaxy. W00t! This is all pure speculation, of course, helpfully flagged up by website GoNintendo. But it feels so right, we can't believe that we're wrong. With Super Mario Galaxy launching in November, we won't have to wait ... » Read More

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Screen Digest: Publishers flock to Wii as PS3 falters in 4th Quarter Media analyst publication Screen Digest has launched a new service, the Game Bulletin. The service is aimed at the game industry and will feature data, demographics and trend-forecasting, with the first edition focusing on software publishing and platform support in the final quarter of 2007.

In its first analyst report, the Game Bulletin states that publishers are backing Wii with the greatest number of titles ¿ 86 in total, compared with 47 for Xbox 360 and 38 for PS3. A quarter of Wii releases are exclusive, compared with eight for Xbox 360 and five for PS3.

Publishers are attracted to Wii's rapidly growing installed base as well as the lower cost and relative ease of development compared to Xbox 360 and PS3. Wii's library will surpass Xbox 360's in early 2008 at current release rates. Given present publishing activity levels and hardware sales rates, the new generation of consoles will move out of transition and into the mass adoption phase by year end.

While the Game Bulletin forecasts Wii and Xbox 360 will have strong end of year sales, its outlook for PS3 is less positive...

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Mario Galaxy just ripping off Insomniac's games The charming Brits over at Kikizo sat down with Insomniac's Ryan Schneider the other day. Asked him a bunch of questions about Ratchet & Clank, and it sounds like Insomniac are rightly proud of their franchise. Also proud of R&C on the PS3, which I must say is looking pretty darn good. They're also proud of their originality as a company, though, and proud that it's influenced...Miyamoto and Super Mario Galaxy.

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

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - First Mario Galaxy review faked 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

Wii - Super Mario Galaxy - Belgian magazine awards Super Mario Galaxy 92% 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.
