Every year at E3, I become obsessed with a game and manage to post approximately 7,000 stories about it in the short span of a week. This E3 that game is Super Mario Galaxy 2.
First there was the grand reveal of the stunning trailer during the press conference, and now Nintendo was nice enough to send me (and by "me" I mean "everyone") some official screenshots of the beautiful, awesome-looking, I-want-to-play-it-right-now sequel. Check them out in the gallery.
It seems there is a semi-negative vibe around the show floor concerning Super Mario Galaxy 2. People all agree it looks amazing, but a lot of people are worried (almost even annoyed) that it looks a lot like the first game. Well, yeah, that is true, but look how many new gameplay mechanics are already shown in what amounted to a two minute trailer? And on that same note, it was only a two minute trailer! Obviously the game will have a lot more to offer in addition to the already amazing addition of things like Yoshi and a massive drill! Majora's Mask looked a lot like Ocarina of Time at the beginning, but we saw how different that game turned out to be, right? And what about God of War II? Or Uncharted 2? The list goes on and on. Oh, also, the first Super Mario Galaxy was incredible! A sequel is a good thing!
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I am just endlessly impressed by the creativity on display in today's assets and just want to shout it to the world. ARE YOU LISTENING, WORLD?! SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 LOOKS AMAZING!

Also, <3
To add a little, does anyone see the new Megaleg battle as a tip-off to the Raphael the Raven fight from Yoshi's Island? Pretty sweet reference if you ask me.
On God of War II: I don't quite agree on that one being different: http://www.destructoid.com/e3-09-god-of-war-iii-demo-is-the-tits-134617.phtml
hail to the king baby , the king of all gaming is back to rock our socks one more!
I love you though.
...
but I'm tired of all of these U R MR GAY comments. Those were old when the first one came out.
Yoshi is my mother effin' homeboy !
In any case, I find it hilarious if people are upset that they are sticking with the Mario Galaxy "formula"...there's only been ONE GODDAMN GALAXY GAME! For fucks sake people, put your goddamn anti-fanboyism to sleep already.
Seriously, SHUT THE FUCK UP, stop beating a stupid unfunny joke even further into the ground.
And Galaxy 2 will own.
...Jerks.
BIG WORLD. YES. SMB3 NOSTALGIA ITT ah8fhafaiofaiwfnwffffffffffffff
How can someone get mad at a Mario platformer?
It's simple really. You just have to hate everything good.
