We all just got out of the Nintendo press conference with some decidedly mixed reviews. Personally, I loved it. Granted, appealing to my grandmother doesn’t really benefit me in the long run, but I am a huge fan of what Nintendo is doing. Mixing up this crazy industry of ours is exciting and refreshing, to say the least.

Feelings aside, though, I think most everyone can agree that the new footage of Super Mario Galaxy shown at the show was pretty unbelievable. The graphics alone are a huge step up from currently released Wii games and, most importantly, it looks like a ton of fun to play. I may have to agree with Reggie’s conference statement that Galaxy really is “the true successor to Super Mario 64.”

Make extra sure, though, to check out the above video at around 37 seconds. Cued it up yet? Yeah, that’s right, it’s Mario in a BEE SUIT! This is exciting, not only because it looks to offer some sick, gravity-defying gameplay, but witnessing Mario in an animal suit hasn’t been experienced since the glory days of Super Mario Bros. 3‘s tanooki suit.  Ah, the amazing memories.

Super Mario Galaxy was officially announced for release on November 12. I am already ridiculously giddy with anticipation.

What do you think? Doesn’t this footage look great? And did you giggle like a school girl when you saw Bee Mario (for the record, I surely did)?
