Why Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be better on 360

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is, by all accounts, an absolute classic, generally being to ten out of tens what cake is to fat kids. There’s only one problem. It’s on the Wii.

Still, we can but dream, and offer some reasons as to why this near-flawless gem would be even better on our beloved machine…

[SpoonyRedMage]

This is just...sad.

[eagle21]

I'm sorry, 360 seriously needs some damn exclusive games (that are actually classic). This is plain pathetic. :)

[Aphe]

This article has the distinct smell of 'Exclusive Envy'. A condition very common amongst 360 owners.

I'm only joking. This is a terrible idea though, and it will never happen, so what's the point?

Besides, if I wanted to play Mario in true HD I'd use dolphin on my pc. As it is it's a great looking game anyway so I won't bother.

[Pedantic91]

............What kind of shi*** article is this ?

[PS3owns360_]

Nah would be even better on Ps3, then it could have even better graphics, and
PS Move.

[dirthurts]

The system doesn't make the game, it holds it back.
Mario needs to breath.

[Fireseed]

Yeah I would love to see the different worlds in HD but the reason I think it would work so well is cause the Wiimote is wedged into the game. I would've liked to play the entire first and second one with the classic controller but sadly it just collected dust :*(. This is not to say it couldn't work as well on the PS3, just as long as its in HD and got maybe a 8xCSAA

[eagle21]

You are going crazy too. E3 please hurry up! :)

[danielle007]

Mario doesn't need good graphics, plus PS3 already has LBP, and Sackboy. Give him a princess, and steal it, and there you go. You have Mario, and maybe in LBP2 you can do up spherical platforming, you never know. It looks pretty powerful.

Super excited, pre-ordered LBP2 day one. <3 But, anyways, besides the point. PS3 already has a Mario, so let Nintendo keep theirs, especially since they do whimsical things the best.

[Titanz]

LMAO! xD

[dizzleK]

is it just me or does it seem like 360 sites spend more time writing about other systems games than 360 games? i don't see articles like this on nintendo or sony sites.

[Scrooge McDuck]

yep its called jealousy 360 sites always say this on that if they want it so bad they should just buy the system.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

its called "360 has no game" syndrome...

[candystop]

Well if 360 has way more games then PS3 I guess that means PS3 really has no games. :P

[ckbarnett]

Its perfectly fine on the wii

[dirthurts]

You have to agree there.

[ckbarnett]

yea your right but its mario he belongs on a nintendo console

[Samus HD]

better graphic are nice /., but the gameplay is most important . i explain it to you:
i have a wii and an xbox.
for me all xbox (ps3)games are like the same with ps2 except the graphic they get bored quick .
But the Wii has unique Games (games that ps3 ,360 don't have) i mean another experienc
thats way this game is better on Wii
Better gameplay (wii) above all

[spooky205]

i thought SMG1 played great but a few hours in i noticed that waggle sucks. I could have enjoyed that title much more if nintendo would have offered a support feature with the classic controller. But then again that would probably defeat the purpose of the console. I mean i get the same effect waggling something than pushing a button. I still havent picked up SMG2. I just hope the controls are revised. I hate waggle.

[Tilian]

E3 season brings out the stupid in gaming media.

[Shnazzyone]

....

[mcgrawgamer]

alan wake on ps3, galaxy on 360, little big planet belongs on the wii?

Who comes up with this crap??? Either get all 3 consoles or live with the fact that you can't play all games every generation all the freaking time.

[GSpartan777]

So gaming editors are allowed to troll but N4G members aren't? >('o')<

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

SMG2 on 360? what were these ppl smoking and can u pass that shit my way.

[Silver360]

Nintendo owns Mario and can do what the heck they want with him. And what they want to do is keep him on a Nintendo system so article is pointless, and somehow disrespectful.

[SilverSlug]

AS much as Banjo.

Nothing.

Move on.

[Terarmzar]

It Belongs on the Wii even as much as i hate Mario it wouldn't be the same on another console
plus on the ps3 we have games similar to Mario which would be little big planet and we have a Mario kart which is Modnation Racers.
as for the 360 idk but would assume they would get something like it eventually and maybe also work with natal.

[Mario18]

If Mario had an assault rifle and plasma grenades fighting aliens it still wouldn't be good on the 360.

Nintendo = Mario

Mario and Halo can never get along

[seij555]

SMG2 would be better on PS3.
1. We have Move
2. We have the audience for it (360's shooter culture doesn't)
3. It would look better on PS3.

[Michael-Jackson]

I agree with you 99%, that 1% is out because the best selling PS3 game is Modern Warfare 2 :(...

[Brklynty1]

Mario is perfect on the wii. 360 would probaly abuse the firball power since its like the only that can shoot

[eARThRiot]

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

obviously this article is made by a 360 fanboy...

[dirthurts]

When Nintendo pushes out a HD system and we get a mario in HD everyone will be like !! WOW !! This is how it should have been the whole time!
And that's exactly what the article is talking about.
Better is better. Why argue with that?
Sure, VHS is good enough...it gets the job done. But why us VHS when you can have Blu Ray?

[Henry Cain]

The game sales would horrible

[Jdash24]

No, just no...

[Socomer 1979]

Ive never experienced that kind of Envy with a Playstation.
XBOX gamers have been treated like crackheads that smoke pieces of chalk since the original xbox. They gets no respect.

[danielle007]

PS3 has the same exact amount of releases that the 360 has had lately. RDR, and then Modnation and Alan Wake.. and split/second and blur I spose. and UFC. I have no idea where no game syndrome has come from.

Just because some loser feels the need to make a stupid article doesn't mean that PS3 fanboys should come up with some false syndrome. I mean, Naughty Bear looks adorable, and Crackdown is out in early July.. and I'm dying in anticipation of flippin Dead Rising 2, sure multi-plat, but I'm getting that for my 360 fershizzleee. Plus, Lego Harry Potter... I'm excitedd.

I have 0 envy for any game, since I have all 3 systems. It's nice. But, I don't like when people are mean to one of my systems because there's some tool writing bad articles. Hate him, but don't overgeneralize, because .. there's obv a bajillion games out for all the systems at this point.

[kingjoker34]

to be honest, i don't not agree.
Mario Galaxy is what it is because of the motion controls,
if it should be on anything else it should be on ps3 with HD graphics and PS move.
But again its Mario, why are we even discussing it being on another console.

[Optical_Matrix]

U mad?

[eagle21]

OMG. Please hurry up E3, the news or should I say "da newz" is janky as hell. :)

[Troll-without-Bridge]

What is wrong with these people?

[JJFNIGHTS80]

I say HELL NO it won't be good on Xbox 360.

[bjornbear]

im sick of seeing "why game x should be on console y"

and no, Mario Galaxy 2 SHOULDN'T be on 360, thats the most retarded thing i've heard all week.

[OutgoingSquall]

it should come to the ps3 if anything its more powerful then the 360 graphics number crunching putting massive amount of units on screen 360 cant do it as well.

[danielle007]

I'm usually one to hate on the Wii, I'll admit it. But, I find Super Mario Galaxy 2 absolutely delightful, and really beautiful. It doesn't need to be in HD to be pretty, and I def don't need true co-op on it. I'm doing fine just playing through by myself. Plus, I frown upon achievement whores. I can enjoy games without achievements, they just add replay value for me, but I'm not too worried about wanting to replay this game..

I wouldn't mind classic controller support though, just for an alternate control scheme. I find the nunchuck kind of awkward. But, that doesn't mean it needs to be shipped to a different console.

[spooky205]

you read my mind. I would like to have some classic controller support. The nunchuk is quite akward to use and that waggle feature could be easily replaced by a button. There were times where i was playing SMG1 and thought to myself "this would be so much better with a traditional controller."

[Fel08]

Sorry but Mario games belong in only one place. Nintendo.

[Focker420]

Just leave it with Nintendo, its their baby. Plus a Mario game does not, I reapeat does not need HD to be enjoyed. My favorite game for Wii was Super Mario Bros. and it looked great. Gameplay over-rules graphics anyday. I will say I never got to enjoy SMG2 because I sold my Wii weeks ago (I never touched it). But I'm sure it plays just fine on the Wii. The guy who wrote the article is just a trolling Xbot, and this is hardly considered 'news'

[Kos-Mos]

Can anyone here define what graphics is?
I have a feeling that art also goes under the category graphics. You know things you can look at.
Am I wrong?

[Anon7349]

>Want better graphics on any wii game?

Play it on PC with 1080p 120fps and make it look better than any other console game this gen

>Want achievements/Trophies so you can enjoy the game?

Eat a dick and kill yourself!

>You want co-op mode?

Buy New Super Mario Bros Wii

>Want to play with your avatar on a mario game?

Kill yourself twice!

[Seferoth75]

Funny how the highest rated game this gen did it all without HD.
Maybe if more dev's used the Wii we would have great RPGs with vast open worlds and towns. That is why DQ10 will blow FF13 away.

Just wish HD development wasnt holding gaming back so much.

[Samus HD]

The only problem is to be on a new console from nintendo like Wii HD (2)

if it was on 360 (ps3) than all the idea is different (only HD will have :S)

So imagine only if Wii was HD

[gumgum99]

I really can't see this happening for obvious reasons(I mean, its Mario for crying out loud!). The graphics for Galaxy 1 just felt "right" for a Wii game, so I see no reason for its sequel to need any more of a push on 360.

Besides, it just wouldn't feel right...again, for obvious reasons.

[Subzero200x]

lol xbox will never get a quality game like this.

"Can anyone here define what graphics is?"

blocks of color

[Redempteur]

facepalm.jpg

[Sagetech]

Is this what it's come to? A 360 fan wishing for a MARIO GAME? He probably just finished Alan Wake and realized he has nothing left to play for the year.Coveting wii's exclusive? tsk tsk,this isnt gaming journalism,this is plain sad

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi__]

...near-flawless gem!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

[Sidewinder-]

I dont even own the Wii, but that article made me feel like punching the author. Pretencious twat.

[emk2004]

duhhhh this is a stupid joke article. a nex gen console better than a outdated one boy he must of thought about this all day.

[earthbounding]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is what it is because it's on the Wii, and made by Nintendo. I don't disagree at all that the 360 is a much better console, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

[jalen247]

Sure...it would..../s

[ChronoJoe]

And even better on the PS3, with the move.

360 analog stick isn't great for platformers anyway, deadzones too large.

[The Desperado Lives]

And they'd be right. A higher standard for controls and camera controls exists on PS3. It is simply non-existent on Wii if this sloppily controlling joke of a game can be rated so highly.

[ozstar]

It wouldn't have sold on the 360 or the PS3. Just look at LBP and BKNB sales.

And btw, Sega is a shell of itself since their Sega games arn't on Sega consoles anymore.

[ozstar]

THIS RIGHT HERE is the sound of manchildren regretting the division of the videogame industry. What did you actually think was going to happen when no games were made for younger audiences, or rather ANY audiences different from the shooter segment?

The failure of Natal and Move will be a sobbering realisation at the end of the gen. that you can't run a viable business by solely marketing to a increasingly narrowing age bracket (yes, we do grow up, get married, have our own children and eventually move on from videogames).

[mookins]

Lmfao...no.

Mario should stay with Nintendo.

[rezzah]

If it was a FPS then maybe. =p

[Seekerofthewind]

There are people that either agree, or are saying that, instead, it should be on the PS3. xD Jeez, guys.

[HorriblePanda]

the pure trash that gets published as articles on this web site.. and yeah yeah i know if you dont like it the go some place else right? but really this is trash and why would they even wright this article if everything on the wii is trash...cough cough turning point fall of liberty cough cough vampire rain cough cough velvet assassin to name a few.. lets not forget the ps3 cough lair cough cough eye of judgement cough cough timeshift they share games like the golden compass jerico and yet wii sucks! i cant tell you all want metroid zelda mario smash bros and others so i have an idea how about you quit bashing the wii oh and lets not forget the whole wii is a gimmick so is natel and move suck on you fanbois suck on you

[hazelamy]

a decent controller is reason enough for me. :)

[rlm42]

Look at all these trolls! "360 no game syndrome" "360 has no games"...

Pfft.. You people need a life.. One is allowed to dream.

[ChickeyCantor]

It would have been better on my Gameboy Classic, cause then i could enjoy the gameplay and not worry about the gfx..

Yeah...

[tunaks1]

because n4g told me so,
how many platformers are on the 360?
I dont think the target audience of the 360 are interested in platformers
