I don't think you guys understand how much I flipped out in the press conference this morning when Nintendo announced Super Mario Galaxy 2. Seriously, Nick Chester actually had to look over and tell me to calm down since I was breathing really hard and uttering the words "um" and "amazing" over and over again not quite under my breath (inside scoop: it was actually loud enough to annoy everyone in the three rows in front and behind me).
There really aren't any words to describe how much I love the original Super Mario Galaxy. It is easily ranked my #1 platformer of all time. Yup, even higher than my precious Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. As people that listen to RetroforceGO! know, I fall in love with good level design, and Super Mario Galaxy has some of the best ever seen in a videogame.
Lucky for us all, Super Mario Galaxy 2 seems to offer much more of the same splendid design and addictive gameplay the first game had to offer.
Check out the press conference trailer after the jump for some stunning footage and prepare to be amazed. Sure, it looks a lot like the original, but that chocolate cake I just had last night looked just like the chocolate cake I had last week, BUT THEY WERE BOTH STILL DELICIOUS! This sent-from-Miyamoto-heaven sequel also features Yoshi in some of the most smile-inducing gameplay sequences you will ever see. Try not to giggle when he and Mario are flying through space together.
Enjoy watching the trailer over and over again and trying your darndest to wait the excruciatingly long time until Super Mario Galaxy 2 is released for the Wii in 2010. This is the Game of the Show for me so far.

I don't know why people are complaining about this being an "unoriginal sequel". I think there's a lot of places they can still go with this game that the original Galaxy didn't. From the trailer alone, it seems they're going to be combining the planet-hopping mechanic and Yoshi in some very interesting ways.
Now I really want to play the first one again.
(But I still love you all.) <3 <3 <3

On another note, this seem analogous to super mario world 2: yoshi's island. Can't think of another true mario game that is a direct sequel to the previous installment. Is this something people want to see more of?
I just want to say, "Called it!".
Also, this looks, wait, is awesome (we know it's going to be)!
really good
Seriously, when was the last time we actually rode Yoshi? And don't give me The Thousand Year Door, we're talking platformers here!
Yeah, pretty much. :)
I was blown away by the first one and is definitly one of the best games i have ever played And the best platformer i have ever played.
let take of oure clothes and dance naked trought the streets to celebrate the epicness of this trailer of smg 2 .
they spell out UR MR GAY
i hate you nintendo.
That said, I love Galaxy, it sits as my fave game of all time, a lofty perch considering I've gaming for 21 years so I'm dying to play this.
This concerns me a bit, that they would reuse any parts from SMG1, but hopefully I won't be let down.
I got every star in the original SMG, and I only had to go online to figure out how to get two of them.
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT BOWSER
Anyway, the game looks awesome. Can't wait. I'm still horribly sad there was no Pikmin 3 though D=
...not like THAT, you goddamn perverts! XD
