The first Mario sequel in over 15 years to appear on the same console as its predecessor, Mario is back in the galactic platforming game, joined by Yoshi as he explores additional planets with new mechanics, power-ups, and boss battles.
But we also get New Super Mario Bros Wii, and I don't care what anyone says 4 player looks AWESOME and how you both help each other and hinder your friends to save your ass. It also looks purdy.

This.
On the Galaxy front i would have rather they kept it one per generation. Doing a bunch of sequels cheapens the original product in most cases. now if they did a new theme for this game i wouldn't have a problem, and if they would have released it on the next console that would be even better. It sounds like they really wanted to do this though, so im not going to be too hard on them.
This is unprecedented. Two new Mario games coming within months of each other.
This is A LOT better than having a bunch of Mario spin-offs.

That didn't happen to the first Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario World. They both had sequels that were better than them, and they are still regarded as classics.
Mario Galaxy 2 is basically a bunch of ideas that didn't make it into the first game smashed together into a new product. It is great to see that they're so innovative that they can have two full games of content, and it isn't like SMG was exactly super shot or anything.
And I'm willing to wait for a full-fledged new Mario game if its as polished as the original Galaxy was and this looks.
