Fan-Made Unreal Engine 4 "Super Mario Galaxy" Project Gets Tech Demo, Download While You Still Can

DSOGaming writes: "A couple of days ago, we informed you about Super Mario 64 being recreated in the Unity Engine. As you may have guessed, Nintendo sent a C&D letter to the team, and took down the project. Now there is another similar project that aims to recreate Super Mario Galaxy in Unreal Engine 4, and there is an early tech demo for you to try."

Wow Mario looks really good. Sucks Nintendo can't even do that for Mario.

[Hanuman]

IMO, Mario doesn't need a state of the art engine. It does look nice though!

[mikeslemonade]

Yep, Nintendo is too cheap to give us proper hardware.

[Khajiit86]

Would be awesome if they made a Mario game that played like a 3rd person adventure game and had graphics like Skyrim. Its 2015 I would like to see some change.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

I don't think many people who actively like Mario would want the change you proposed.

[Khajiit86]

I understand. I am a long time Mario fan since NES. Mario games are amazing the way they are and that change most likely will never happen. I wouldn't mind a realistic version of Mario. First person Mario would be pretty cool too.

[guitarded77]

You can't change the Mario universe drastically like that... it wouldn't be a Mario game anymore. It would be more interesting if Nintendo made a new IP with realism.

[big_dom_part_2]

Do what for Mario? Have a trail of glitch come out his arse as he runs and jumps? Or have him smeared from head to toe in vaseline? I have to laugh at people who say professionals at big developers can't do as good as a job as modders.

[darthv72]

Nice but galaxy is spherical. I will see this as the continuation of the Mario 64 unity but using UE4 instead.

[XisThatKid]

Um, there are def flat areas in Gal, plus that is where they got the base and infrastructure of the tech from just using UE4 middleware

[Maul_T_Pass]

Do you want to get a C&D? Because this is how you get a C&D...

[ChickeyCantor]

You can't sue for creative common. He isn't making money out of it.

[OmegaShen]

But Nintendo did go after the person that made the first level of Mario 64 HD.

[Maul_T_Pass]

Doesn't matter if he's making money or not. It's Nintendo's IP. They've done it in the past and earlier this week they shut down a Mario 64 unity project. So, if you are going to do something like this FINISH IT FIRST, then give it out.

[rainslacker]

I think as of right now it's a tech demo. If he did the mario model himself, and isn't making money off this, then he should be alright. If he plans on remaking the whole game, or even just a level, then it falls into the category of copyright infringement.

[WizzroSupreme]

This looks amazing.

[KuroKazuma]

mario looks even in UE4 like shit
cant see him anymore.. its enough

[Haki1112]

You are the man!!!!

[Gwiz]

Hoozah!!

[kung-fu-grip]

Would love to see these guys do a Zelda demo with UE4

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Look : http://www.dsogaming.com/vi...

Well if nintendo continues its pattern well get mario galaxy one on wii u eshop next week

[Khronikos]

PC players have been playing these flawless on Dolphin for some time.

[solar]

"download while you still can" always makes me laugh

[Monstar]

thought it would look better....

[Waffles11]

Maybe its me, but I would say some games would be better served to move away from trying to look more "realistic". Some of the fun in playing a game is taking an escape from reality. More creativity in the design and artwork would go much further than making it seem so real that it reminds you of the pervert that likes to hang out too long in the walmart parking lot.

[arbitor365]

better download it before nintendo gets their panties in a bunch and removes it.

[higgins78]

Its called intellectual property...

[arbitor365]

Not all companies enforce them with an iron fist, in terms of fan created content. Most companies are smart enough to realize that this kind of thing actually promotes their products and encourages people to buy their games.

Nintendo, being the out of touch nitwits that they are, continue to abuse their most loyal fans and alienate people.

[Agent_hitman]

I'm playing it right now and it looks so fvcking gorgeous on UE4! Good job. But here's a problem, there's no configuration or settings to make the demo on full screen, it is only on window mode. :(

[Khronikos]

It's called Dolphin emulator you noobs. Been using it for years now. Nice that people can dream though... of something that exists in a perfect state already. SMH.

[clouds5]

Mario games are so not about graphics... Nintendo games in general always focus on gameplay. The graphics are just functional, supporting the gameplay. Nintendo is pretty much misunderstood in that regard. Graphics are so important to many gamers that they can't enjoy many amazing titles because the graphics are not super realistic.
But nintendo really has problems. If I didn't know zelda and chronicles x are coming I would have already sold my wii u. The most news they are getting is people making tech demos of trying to remaster old nintendo titles and getting shut down by them. Pretty poor if you ask me :/

[higgins78]

I don't think many people here have played or even seen SM3DW running. A feast for the eyes, running flawlessly at 60fps AND unlike 'tech demos' of late offers new and genuinely brilliant gameplay/level design...and that's the genuine difficulty. Honestly, these examples of late, talk about standing on the shoulders of giants...

[noxeven]

Why do sites keep posting these projects as news.Its like they don't want them to finish.

[scark92]

The Tech Demo looks alot like The Tommorrow Children
