Fan made video of Mario Galaxy DS: My jaw’s status? Currently at rest on floor

Recommended Videos

Hi everybody, I’m new here at Destructoid. My name’s Jonathan. Nice to be working with you.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, take a look at this fan-made video depicting what could be a more exciting (and potentially more profitable) idea for a game than anything Nintendo has currently announced for 2008. Though beware — the video contains spoilers, as the premise of the thing is that there is a (GASP!) Super Mario Galaxy port for the Nintendo DS, available as an unlockable only to those willing to obtain every last star the Wii game has to offer.

A cute idea to some, pure genius to others. Me, I’m still waiting to hear that this project, like Halo for the DS, was in fact a real game at one point.

More after the jump.

Watch the video yet? If I didn’t tell you it was fan-made, would you have known? If you just answered “yes” in your head, you are a liar. But I can’t blame you. Everyone always lies to the new guy. It’s the law of the jungle.

But I digress.

This kind of fan art is exciting enough to me in that “What If?” Marvel comics sort of way, that I actually get more pumped watching it than I do watching videos for games that may some day actually be released. If this unlockable were real in SMG on the Wii, or if SMG DS did somehow, someday go retail, my guess is that it would sell ten times what SMG Wii is selling in Japan. Not that that’s saying much. Professor freaking Layton 2 on the DS had a bigger opening in Japan than SMG Wii did. 

I could go on and on, but this is my first post, and I don’t want to be another attention whoring, know-it-all, blogging-as-pseudo-intellectual-ego-masturbation, “cancerous” Internet blogger. Not yet, anyway.

So I leave the rest for you to discuss. Does this fan-made vid look as professional as I think it does, or am I just blinded by my love of fan-made “What If?” crap? Would you buy SMG for the DS over the Wii, or would you miss those slightly better than GameCube quality graphics way too much?

And how about that 2 player simultaneous co-op in the vid? Better than anything the Wii game has for co-op, am I right?
