Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Preview

Written by Madusha

Wednesday, 19 August 2009

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was confirmed at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and will be released in 2010. The game is in development for the Nintendo Wii and will be released in 2010.

PUBLISHER: Nintendo

DEVELOPER: Nintendo EAD

PLATFORM: Nintendo Wii

RELEASE DATES: 2010

E3 09 GAME TRAILER:

Gameplay is similar to Super Mario Galaxy, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets of varying sizes and landscapes. Power-ups such as the Bee Suit will be making a return, along with the Launch Star for interplanetary navigation, and the Airships operated by Bowser's son Bowser Jr. in its predecessor.

Mario will be able to ride the bipedal dinosaur Yoshi like he did in Super Mario Sunshine, and can use his tongue to swing across gaps, as well as eat different fruits that give him different powers (also seen similarly in Sunshine), such as the ability to inflate like a balloon and float, as well as speed boosts. While the player retains the ability to collect Star Bits with the blue Star Pointer from the first game, while riding Yoshi the Star Pointer is replaced by a red dot, which allows the player to also aim and control his tongue.

New items and features were also showcased at E3 2009.

The game is said to have 90% new levels, with the rest being previous levels with new objectives. In Miyamoto's private conference, it was stated that the game is very far along in development, but its release is being held back to 2010 due to New Super Mario Bros. Wii being released in 2009. In an interview with Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime, he stated that the game would be more challenging than the original. Miyamoto said in a Wired interview that the game would have less of a focus on plot than the original.

Somehow I missed Yoshi being part of Super Mario Sunshine...

Perhaps I missed
a level or didn't input the correct Yoshi code. Maybe my Canadian version didn't
include Yoshi and everyone else's copy did.

Or just maybe you should hire
some fact checkers.
