The english version was already out online on torrents since last week
its the same version where some guy from Gamestop jacked a "demo" copy of Galaxy, took it home and took off the 10 minute limit gameplay on the demo.. turns out the entire game is on the disc and fully functional...
There is some pretty good intinuitive controls in Galaxy itself where all you use is the wiimote to move Mario around without the analog stick, like on one of the racing levels and objectives..
this game is almost perfect if it werent for some minor flaws, but even the flaws like the camera problems i think are deliberate..

I tried my first Wii game and I was really disappointed in the resolution options.. 480p on a 42" doesn't look so pretty  | |

I know. i keep thinking that Nintendo will release some kind of upconverting hd device for the wii sometime in the future, playing some games gets really pixelated..
Like Mario Galaxy could potentially look soo much better.. Manhunter 2 just looks horrible in HDtvs.. Gametrailers gives Galaxy 9.8
so that makes SMG one of the highest rated games in the entire site...
also gamespot has given it a 9.5 and ign with 9.7
i have to agree, this game is pretty intense, Nintendo hasnt forgotten their hardcore gamers, and i gotta say Galaxy tends to be a little bit challenging sometimes when grabbing for certain stars..
im currently on my 60th star, so far, every galaxy and world i have entered, ive collected them all, and im pretty sure im missing quite a few secret stars
im determined to get all 120 stars,
just like Mario 64, when u complete all stars, u get to control a special character (no spoiler alert here)
also Ghost Squad is a fun game, it has the feel of an arcade game intact...

music is also pretty amazing and phenomenal
im getting fanboy crazy here but im glad Nintendo didnt cut corners in music like they did with Zelda TP using digitize synthesizer music
Galaxy has a full pledge orchestrated music going on, pretty cool to hear some of the tunes from old Mario games been played on actual instruments.. lol
also everytime u fight Bowser, it feels really epic...

the english version is coming out on the 15th i think
the japanese version is pretty much straight forward, no need for english menu,
its a fun game, with pretty much unlimited continues, although the game doesnt support 16x9, its hardly noticeable if u set ur tv to widescreen...

The newer Wiis have more soldering required i think
i dont know much about it but when i took my Wii to get modded, the dude asked me when i bought my Wii and i said dec '06
i asked him why it matters because he said the Wii's that produced from nov '06 up to feb '07 are easier to mod with only 6 soldering points
the newer Wii's beyond that has like 20 to 60 soldering points or something...... which most stores charge $20 more..
but ya, i think any version of Wii out in the stores right now is moddable..

I just finished Mario Galaxy with 93 Stars.....
damn some of the stars are really hard to get, plus there is some secret stars hidden through out the different levels without any hint of where they are.....
Im refusing to look at gamefaqs to find where they are, exploring the levels are actually pretty fun
The last level just before you meet Bowser (no spoiler here, u always fight Bowser on every Mario game) is rediculously hard....
the game gives you an option to progress even after finishing the game.... and once u start the game, it will ask u to collect a total of 120 stars to unlock a new world.......
props to Nintendo for not forgetting their hardcore gamers..
Mario Galaxy is too good... this overshadows Mario64 as one of the greatest platformer..

I am looking forward to Mario Galaxy more than any other game in a LONG time.
It'll be nice to see my Wii get some use for something other than Virtual Console...

Galaxy is not a bad game
8.5/10 for me
camera angle is kind pising me off, a lot of times u are playing UPSIDE down so its like wtf??? gets me dizzy and shit, i mean why the fuck cant they just play the proper view? instead u have to play sideways, and upside down....to me tats just fucked. 
otherwise graphics and the rest of the game is pretty decent no complaints.
Except story is a bit weak compare to the gamecube Mario..i prefer the story on GC better, and the boss fight...they dont have a lot varieties....u just fight bowser like 3-4 times which is kinda repetitive...in previous mario games..u only fight bowser in the very last level.
got 47 stars so far, 14 more stars to go and game is finished.
the game definitely needs a component cable with 480p to appreciate one of the most pretty wii game

Comes out on the 14th. Best Buy online had them for sale at $42.00 in their 3rd annual birthday sale. Of course it was sold out as soon as the 16 hour sale began.
I can't wait to play this game.

If not, just stop playing games | I know, he got some wierd ass opinions on games, and they are like the generic questions like an old man complaining when playing current video games
like from dissapointing graphics on COD4
to unliking Halo 4
to complaining how crap games are crap games because he paid $50 for them
and now Galaxy.. tsk tsk tsk........
thats part of the challenge on Galaxy, wait til the part where you have to collect coins to get a star later in the game, gets really challenging...
