So, a Gamestop near me decided NOT to erase the game saves every night like they're supposed to. I managed to play an hour or so and managed to bring the total stars to 57. I will say this, there are some pretty frustrating parts if you aren't patient. 
Also, the guide came out early in some places, so you'll want to avoid reading it unless you reeeeeeally want everything to be spoiled. There's a lot of stuff to do after you beat the main quest.

For those who didn't see the picture NintendoWarrior linked to and want to know what it was:
Just a nice little thing to unlock. :D
Luigi is unlockable after getting all 120 stars, completing all the... erm... I think I read purple star quests?... and beating Bowser a second time.

It isn't GOING to be to epic. It IS epic. I watched a live stream yesterday of a guy playing it. He lives in japan and its out there for those who didn't know. He is supposed to stream again today but i'm not sure what time. Maybe 10 like yesterday? I'l get back with everyone when I find out more.
Edit : The stream is up at this time http://nsidernews.com/nsider2-live-streaming/

Looks good, but I'm probably going to have to wait a bit before being able to play it, no money.

i command nintendo to make it sarcasm. i WANT this game to be good, but looking at the previews and nintendo's previous games on the wii, it just doesn't look that good.
What about the previews makes it look bad? The previewers themselves seem excited about the game. I think it will be fun but this will likely be my last Mario game. I've collected enough stars, beat bowser and saved peach more than enough times now.

So... apparently this will be my first game for the Wii.

Smash Lord
yeah, this will be one of my two games for the wii unless of course a megaman game comes out
The GameCrazy I run got a full version copy of the game not too long ago to demo to the public. From the small amount I was able to play, it controls very naturally and smoothly, just like most Mario games. There were no huge improvements graphic-wise, but the biggest thing I noticed is that that the graphics flow alot better than before, as expected.
I was on the fence beforehand, but after trying it out, I'll definitely be picking a copy up. If you're still deciding, ask yourself this: What Super Mario game haven't you enjoyed?

Some places have started selling strategy guides. There is a regular and limited collector's edition. Honestly, the game is a bit on the easy side that you really shouldn't need a guide, but I might get the limited edition one since it is hardback.

if i could recall, Melee had strategy guides before release

IGN says that the main game (60 stars) is pretty easy, but getting all 120 stars is challenging.

You use WiiConnect24 to send accomplishments to friends according to IGN . I knew it had some online function.

first, never trust nintendo's review of their own game.
second, i have a saying when it comes games, "never say a game is good or bad unless you've played it for at least a month and a half."
that way, you avoid the "omg!!!!!! its a new advertised game" syndrom.

...what do you mean "first, never trust nintendo's review of their own game?"
By "official," they mean the main source for Nintendo news. They're the Nintendo Power of Europe.
So... those big numbers mean nothing to you? Not even Gamespot's who usually give nearly every single Wii game a low score? Have you even bothered to read the reviews?
You should watch this review:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27584.html
Also... why don't you actually PLAY the game? I played it at Gamestop. Let me just quote myself from another board...
"Super Mario Galaxy is pretty much the best Wii game of 2007, and is probably one of the best video games of this year.
I played a demo at GameStop for about 45 minutes (it's addicting) and I just LOVE the game. Almost everything in perfect. The graphics and art is great, the gameplay is perfect, the level design and physics is amazing, the music was spectacular, and some of the levels are really difficult. I just loved how they used the Wii Remote. It felt very natural. All of the levels are diverse and just fantastic, and you don't feel so confined in one area like in Sunshine where the only place you can go is the tropical setting of Delfino Plaza and the occasional bonus stage.
Galaxy is like Mario 64, but bigger and better. It's the "Super Mario Bros. 3" of the 3D platformers, with Super Mario 64 being the new, revolutionary title (Super Mario Bros.) and Sunshine being the different and weird one that people didn't like as much as the first. And I think anyone can like this game, even a Sony or Microsoft fanboy (maybe). The level designs and physics involving gravity are just mind blowing. There are also classic enemies, tunes power ups and even old school side scrolling levels. One review stated that Galaxy "reinvents the platformer," and I agree with that. The critical reaction is very positive.
Seriously, pick this game up if you have a Wii. I don't even care if you don't like Mario. Not having this game should be considered to be a crime.
This is definately the greatest Wii game... until Super Smash Bros. Brawl knocks its socks off."
Why do you hate Galaxy so much? I mean, I don't care... I just want to know why.

exactly!!
If you don't buy this game, then you are in 1 of 2 categories:
1. You don't like platforming games such as Mario 64 etc...
2. You are stupid
Watch this video review by gametrailers
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27584.html
if you don't think this game is good......well, then you need to go have your head examined. unless you don't like platforming games

I like platformers but the Mario formula has gone a bit stale after so many years. You even collect the same amount of stuff in each game, 120 stars in 64, 120 shine sprites in sunshine, 120 stars in galaxy. The main point is to have fun and it can be hard to have fun if you feel the game is to similar to what you've already played.I'm still going to give it a go because the gravity mechanic is something that is new to the series.
