We already heard about ripped copies of Super Mario Galaxy making it onto the 'net, and now some silly person is showing off his Super Mario Galaxy backup running on his consumer Wii.
The video maker goes out of his way to show that this copied disc is actually playing, even stopping to eject the copy to show its effect on the game. We get it -- it works!
He's still not as cool as the GameStop employees that we've talked to who just took the kiosk copy of the game home and played it to their hearts' content. Even cooler are the people who will actually wait a few weeks to purchase a real copy to add this fine game to their collections.
And guess what, backup guy -- I saw your Mii, and I'm telling!
That's cool and all, but current-gen modding doesn't seem to be really worth the risk of getting dicked over by a brick-inducing firmware upgrade, unless of course you're using an R4...
If you don't want people pirating your games, fucking release them already. I would totally pirate this if i knew how to get around Nintendo's new copy protection. It's not that I won't shell over $50 dollers for the game. If it were in a store where i could purchase it in, i would. But unless I pirate it, I have to wait a whole 2 weeks to play a game thats ALREADY FINISHED. This isnt the only case, both Assasins Creed and Mass Effect have gone gold. Why is it taking a whole damn month for us to get our hands on it? I'm tired of this tactical releasing of games bullshit just go get a slot in the holdiay season.
Heck, even the stores hold on to theses fuckers for a week or two before we can buy them. I'm one of the lucky few who found a store that sells games when the get them, so I was able to buy some great games like Guitar Hero III and Halo 3 a week before they "came out". When I went online, the only other people playing were either other lucky people who got their hands on the game first (Alot of people in the UK, some pre-order mix up i think) or, guess who? MOTHERFUCKING PIRATES. Me and a whole bunch of Pirates were able to finish Halo on legendary before the fucking game was even released to the public. Just because Microsoft had a huge fapfest over their hyped-up marketing to get us to salivate over a game which wasn't anything like what they market to us in the first place. I dont remember being the holy savior being captured by a brute like they showed in the commercials.
Pirates FTW, until they sell the games when they're finished, and not a whole month after its finished and they are done mindfucking us with shitty marketing.
Can someone please explain why Europe gets the game on the 16th but Australia has to wait until the 29th?
Does it takes time to convert it to all those other languages, and then another fortnight to remove all those languages for release in an English only speaking country?
RJG, might have to do with Australia being a larger country and thus needs a larger allocation of SMG. I hear what you are saying though, the ever expanding europe is what holds up a lot of games, but Mario games don't have that much to translate anyway.
Have patience people, not long to go now.
SMG does looks awesome, so much so that I might ask for a Wii for xmas.
Just because a game has gone gold, it doesn't mean it's ready for consumers that minute. It just means the master disc is ready to start production. They still have to manufacture hundreds of thousands of discs, create the packaging for them, box them up, ship them to retailers, et cetra. If you think this all happens instantaneously, you live in a fantasy world. Getting Galaxy out to a couple of hundred retail stores is a much different thing that getting it into the hands of every single Wii customer who wants one.

If you think that it takes more than a week to get a game through the production stage after its gone gold, then YOU are living in a fantasy world. A whole month to "create packaging"? Yea, im sure it takes a while to make all those dvd cases and cardboard boxes.... I'm not some idiot who thinks that as soon as a game is done, its gonna magically pop on the store shelf. But it shouldn't take a whole month for us to get our hands on a game, especially if those few hundred stores already have a finished copy of the game a month before. I live in Manhattan, where not only does almost all of our games get shipped from the west coast, but everything has to be transported from off the island. You would think we'd be one of the last ones to get a game(in the USA at least.) but no, stores have the games on hold before its release, sometimes whole weeks before. If this weren't the case, then those Bioshock discs wouldn't be able to be sold 2 weeks early at TRU now would they?

Soon, I will... November soon.
galaxy is such a good looking game... almost makes me forgive nintendo for creating the wii...
It goes to show that Nintendo isn't just relying on hardware innovation for game design but also software innovation.

you've never seen a movie like this. can you spot paris hilton in this trailer?
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Start at the 8:20 mark or just watch the whole thing
I caught that dude's reflection at the beginning of the video, and I'd pretty sure he ain't wearing pants.
With the incredible amount of games out right now, waiting a few weeks for Galaxy really isn't a big deal...
This is the only game that matters to me for the rest of the year
Is Galaxy running on a modchiped Wii??!?
god i hate this guy so much i can feel it in my BALLS. that's how much anger and jealousy I feel right now...
If you're thinking about modding your Wii because you can't wait two more weeks to play Galaxy, you need to up your ritalin dosage.
No. If the game is done, we should be able to buy it.
End of story.
That shit is running on a modchiped Wii. Galaxy backup is running on a D2CKEY modchip and is real. It’s confirmed HERE . Google found this. <_<
no Im not talking about piracy... (I know that piracy killed the Dreamcast) Im just talking about GALAXY in General!!!!! w00T~~~
Wow I have the same TV as him. Too bad I can't play SMG on mine :(
