Super Mario Galaxy 2 is Nintendo's follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2007 Wii game. This will be the first time a traditional 3D Mario game got a direct sequel, and the first sequel to a Mario game in over 15 years. After Nintendo's E3 2009 Press Conference, Reggie announced the game will be due out in 2010.
Originally intended to be an expansion to the first game using levels left over that they couldn't fit into the original game, Super Mario Galaxy 2's game engine is essentially the same as it's predecessor. As development progressed, Nintendo EAD decided to continue to add new features and new levels to make it a full release.
" For the most part up until now we haven't made two games of the same franchise on a single console." says Miyamoto. " But when we first made Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii it was the first time we experimented with spherical worlds. We had a lot of things we were interested in doing and a lot of creative freedom that we had in the world we were interested [in doing]."
