can't wait for this. It looks amazing.
I'm sure you'll need to use the Wiimote for motion control.

Luigi has recently been confirmed for SMG. With that in mind, suppose that Luigi was playable. Do you think he would have uniqueness about him that separates him from Mario to a greater degree (e.g. green fire -> lightning, aerial spin w/ arms-> leg twister)?

I'm sure it's old news, but some game stores will be getting actual copies of the game to put on display in the very near future. Not a demo, but the actual final version of the game! Check your local stores...

in a couple screen shots, and a japanese demo/advert sort of vid, mario turns into a ghost and goes to rescue luigi.
I read that becasue the wii controller lacks a second analog stick you cannot control the camera at all. From what I've seen it doesn't look a problem though.
The game is coming out in just a few weeks so get used to using those spoiler tags.
Or else.

Chill, "can not" is two words. >: (
I played a short demo at GameStop when I bought my copy of Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. Because of the size/structure of the planets it really shouldn't be a problem. The only time I wished I could change it was when I was walking vertically upward.

Just played the demo at gamestop and got in a good hour or so of playing. Overall, I say the game is definitely fun to play. If you've watched any of the Mario Galaxy vids, then you should find this mini-review spoiler-free. If you feel the need to, just avoid reading what's ahead altogether.
You know what the story is. Peach gets kidnapped by Bowser, so Mario has to rescue her once again. I didn't get to see the intro, since someone already started playing, but I'm sure you can find vids of the opening cinema on youtube.
The controls really aren't that hard once you practice a little. The Spin Attack, which is done by shaking the Remote, will be the most used move Mario has since you'll use it to break open objects, defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and use stars that launch you around galaxies. A majority of Mario's moves and attacks are from the 64 version, and you can wall jump using the same method in New Super Mario Bros. You can adjust the camera angle if you want to explore something, but this wasn't a huge problem for the most part. The camera tended to correct itself if something obstructed your view of Mario.
You travel to each galaxy looking for stars hidden in each galaxy. Once you earn enough stars, you can unlock a new galaxy similar to how Mario 64's worlds were unlocked. But don't forget to finish collecting all the stars from the galaxy before you start playing on the new one! Stars aren't the only thing you'll be collecting. You'll also be collecting Star Bits, those crystal-looking things that function sort of like the games currency. Collect enough and you get a 1-up! These Star Bits can also be used to stun enemies, uncover secrets, or can even be traded for some help from your allies. Be sure to collect as many as you can, because you'll be using them both inside galaxies and in the main lobby area. Coins aren't as plentiful in this game, and the only purpose they seem to have is to help recover health or to be used for high scores. I'm certain that you will get something for collecting enough of them (probably 50 or maybe 100?), but there honestly doesn't seem to be enough to collect that many. An interesting note is that depending on how you defeat an enemy, you'll earn either a coin or some Star Bits.
You'll encounter lots of enemies who stand in Mario's way. Some are familiar faces, such as the Goomba, while others are brand new to the Mario universe. Some classic enemies even have a new twist to them! And of course, expect lots of boss fights. Whatever the case may be, your trip through the galaxy isn't going to be all fun and games.
The sound effects in this game are cartoony, as expected. The graphics aren't too bad either, and you'll notice some detail as you fly around galaxies.
Overall, definitely worth trying if your Gamestop has it at the demo station. Once the game is released, definitely pick up a copy so that you can start saving the galaxies, one star at a time.

Well, I went back, and it seems like ALL of Mario's moves from Mario 64 are in it, except for one or two or the moves like punch and trip. Someone actually tried going through that game as fast as possible to unlock as many galaxies as possible, but I doubt he'll finish in time. The Gamestop managers are supposed to delete that game saves at the end of the day, so yeah, nobody should be able to finish the game and release spoilers.

I got a chance to play the demo at Gamestop today. I only played for about 15 minutes or so to avoid spoiling the fun for when I get the game on November 12. I really enjoyed the game, but I was slightly disappointed at the fact that you can't do the punch-punch-kick combo. All Mario does for an offensive attack is the Tornado Spin. Despite the very few shortcomings, the game is very fun and it looks great in 480p.
Can't wait to pick up my copy in a few weeks.

Good thing I reserved this at nintendoworld. This has to be great wifi or not.

It's not WiFi, but there is a Co-Op 2 player mode. The second player moves their cursor around to block and stun enemies to help Player 1 (the one who controls Mario).

DUHH DUDE!!! I know that!!! I'm just stunned that there are other people who keep bringing up wifi for a SINGLE player game!! It's amazing to me!! I know about the second wii-mote thing, but ultimately, this is a SINGLE player game!! Yet people keep bringing up wifi!! WTC pplz
dude!! exclamation marks!!
Does everyone hate Mario now or something? Or is it just that this isn't a story heavy game so there's nothing to speculate on?

Man this game is truly going to be totally epic, even if us Australians get the usual boot of release date.
Ouch.
I don't know if that was sarcasm or not but I'm going to at least rent it. It's true that Sunshine wasn't everything Nintendo made it out to be but Galaxy looks like it's going in a different ,more fun, direction.

Hmm, some people in Japan have already completed the main quest, but no one has gotten all 120 stars yet. I think the general agreement is that it takes about 7-8 hours to beat the game with the minimum number of stars, which is
. Getting the rest of the stars probably doubles the amount of time. Of course, most people will probably take much longer.
