Luigi's number-a 1!

...but he'll always be player 2 in our hearts~!

The green guy's always fun to take a spin with, though he's a LOT looser in control. He doesn't stop on a dime like Mario and that really changes the feel of things! He is faster, though. And jumps higher. And farther. ...why's he the second banana, again?

Super Mario Galaxy 2! Woo-hoo~!

Well, um. Uh. I basically already said everything I'd say about this game in the description I gave for the first Mario Galaxy series I recorded. You can read it in the description here:

Pretty much this is just... more! More galaxy romping. More goomba stomping! More Galaxy! Though it may feel a wee bit different in presentation. Nintendo (Shiggy?) decided to return back to the typical Mario overworld map for this, and dropped the central hub deal. Kinda. I mean, you can run around a weird faceship that the friends you meet along your travels congregate and stuff. And the backgrounds for the map areas are beautiful. But the central progression is very plain.

Oh, also they seem to have dropped all knowledge of the first game. This is like an alternate universe Mario Galaxy, which actually fits in the Galaxy continuum if you've seen the end of the first! It bears mention that Rosalina is NOT a central figure in this game, which is kinda disappointing. Instead you get a weird fat luma guy-thing. He's pretty chill. Yoshi's here too, which is kinda cool.

If you liked the first, this'll be your cup of tea! (Whee-hee~!)

The Wii U has the same hardware built-in as the Wii. The Wii U will automatically upscale your Wii games based on your selected resolution and output via HDMI in Progressive Scan for a clean image. Neat!
