Third commercial comes in at the 30 second spot…

Is the excitement for Nintendo's galactic sequel universal?

Look -- the above TV spots for Super Mario Galaxy 2 are really slick and all, but now we've got one thing on our mind: pancakes. Now that we know there's a stack of flapjacks out there with its own gravitational pull, we just can't wait to dig in. Thankfully, we won't have to wait too long to satiate our need for edible planetary bodies.

For the rest of this week's Nintendo Channel content, head past the break.

Coming from the official Aussie press release… Looks like North America is the only region not getting this disc. I guess that means the NA crowd is pretty good at Mario titles!

Mario's Aussie launch will be a little later than other countries.

Oh man, I don’t know. This one might be even better than the first! Great job on these features, Nintendo!

The latest video excursion into Super Mario Galaxy 2 (after the break) features some very fancy aerial maneuvers by a gas-filled Yoshi. The side-scrolling segment of the game shown here requires Yoshi to float from Blimp Fruit to Blimp Fruit to stay aloft, and even relies on Yoshi's flutter jump to navigate between platforms around the stage.

We can't help but notice that the stage itself is shaped like a cylinder. In fact, you might describe the level as "tubular."

#preview You don't want me to try to describe the surreal galaxies of the first three worlds of Super Mario Galaxy 2, so how about some more abstract impressions? More »

The retail version is now in our hands.

Pfft, "debuts?" More like soars across a whimsical landscape directly into our hearts. We were pressed for space, okay? Maybe that's why we're so keen to stare at yet another snippet of Super Mario Galaxy 2 -- if we watch this commercial (embedded after the break) carefully, the perpetually cheerful plumber might impart some lessons on space usage. Where does he find all that breathing room?

Nintendo was originally a bit less ambitious with new Mario title.

#nintendo When it was developing the upcoming Mario game, the character's creator Shigeru Miyamoto says that the game had a *slightly* different temporary title: More »

This is from the Japanese site updates that we talked about a few posts below. I thought you might like to see this one in embed form.

Now this is how you do a commercial! Man, I really love this one. Has a very classic feeling to it. What do you guys think?

Nintendo's viral-esque series of Super Mario Galaxy 2 promotional videos continues with a brief look at an odd flying minigame. In this racing segment, Mario woo-hoos through a course as he holds onto the legs of a "Fluzzard." The challenge, of course, is to win the race against a bunch of birds who aren't weighted down by husky plumbers.

Perhaps this particular Fluzzard flies faster, though, boosted by the assurance that its talents are useful to Mario. There are really only two fates for animals in the Mario universe, after all. If you can't be used as a vehicle in some way (like Yoshi, who is born wearing a saddle), you are doomed to being stomped to death. See the trailer after the break.

Yesterday, we had a bunch of new information on Super Mario Galaxy 2. This info came from Official Nintendo Magazine’s review of the title. Within that information was a possible tease of another playable character. Well, that’s how one reader interpreted it. Today, the good guys at ONM sent over the [...]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is easy to understand. Mario Galaxy 2, a little less so. To help get fans of the former to purchase the latter, Nintendo will be bundling a DVD instruction manual with the galactic sequel. More »

These details come from the Official Nintendo Magazine review. Some subscribers in the UK are receiving their issues already. - Galaxy 2 takes place in an alternate reality where Mario and the Lumas never met - the big Luma owns Spaceship Mario, which was transformed into its shape from a simple planet - the big Luma is [...]
