GamingUnion.net: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review

GamingUnion.net: Super Mario Galaxy 2 manages to capture that magical sense of fun and amazement for which Nintendo are so revered. This is the pinnacle of Mario platforming. Scratch that, platforming in general. The constant variety Galaxy 2 throws at the player is nothing short of astonishing. Just when a mediocre level makes you consider the remote possibility that the game has finally run out of clever ideas, the next level impresses with something different. Games that put a smile on your face when you're feeling down are a rare breed - Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of those games.

Man, I've seen only good reviews of this, I need it xD.

Selyah5227d ago

Loved the first glad to see this is getting the positive reviews too, definitely a must buy for me.

How will Nintendo top it?

JDouglasGU5227d ago

i think they've hit the sweet spot with this one. Though Nintendo is notoriously bad at whoring out franchises, Galaxy 2 proves the core Mario hasn't lost its touch by any stretch.

RedPawn5227d ago

Super Mario Bros 4 or Super Mario World 3.

Aphe5227d ago

One of the best games ever made.

RedPawn5227d ago

I REALLY like to see a spiritual sequel to Super Princess Peach on the Wii. You talk about great platforming from out of nowhere.

If Nintendo's new "wireless device" is for tracking movement, let's hope it's for VR

The prospect of having a proper Nintendo VR is exciting.

I'd die for another Astrobot on PSVR2, as the Rescue Mission on PSVR1 was incredible. Sony showed how amazing platformers can be in VR, and I have no doubt Nintendo could do some equally amazing things IF they were to embrace the platform.

“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."

Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.

Well nintendo has always been about innovation so I'm not surprised.

KyRo5h ago

Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.

Well, in my opinion they have popularised hybrid console which is the Switch

KyRo3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.

LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen

So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games

I'll take the art style thanks

Translation: We'll wait until it's cheaper.
