Nintendo has launched the official Japanese website for Super Mario Galaxy. The site features some fairly new screenshots, and a plethora of video showing off the game. Make sure to check it out at the link below!

<Kojinka> When I saw this thread back on top, I was afraid this was gonna be another pointless bump by a new member, but when I saw Super-Jesse's username, my fears were laid to rest.

I just saw the opening movie.

It's grade-A for awesome :D. So much Mario goodness, from the airship music remix, to the evil magikoopa, the pretty looking toad town...

Though, I'm starting to wonder if this "Princess Rose" girl is actually Peach in disguise. They both have similar-looking blond hair, and their faces look alike. Maybe they're related.

Hmm.. looks like they're re-using bits of the story line from the first Paper Mario game: Bowser not only kidnapped the Princess, he took the entire castle.

Not that that's a bad thing, though. I'm glad they are finally incorparting ideas from all Mario games into one (I know they've been doing this for a while, but it seems like only the RPG things have appeared in the RPG games).

What would really be great is if Mario could somehow get his hands on some classic power ups. The Boo and Bee suits are both great, but where are my Frog, Hammer, and Tanooki suits?
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

My theory: Rosetta is to Peach as Sheik is to Zelda.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

This prologue video impresses me as no Mario game's opening ever has before. Think about it, I can name three or four games in which we watch Bowser (or Bowser Jr.) take Peach. All, lame (except Paper Mario).
It looks like Luigi has learned to stay away from large gatherings in the Mushroom Kingdom and vacations with Peach. Smart guy. Still, it'd be great if he were playable, maybe in a co-op mode... But that won't happen, as we already know.

The video also provides a narrative justification as to why Luigi isn't in SMG.

Woah, this is awesome! The Triple Jump seemed a bit too low, perhaps? I even saw a pipe in one of the videos. This game seems like it is going to be a combination of most of the Mario game ideas into one, including new ideas!
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Mario got taken into space when Bowser stole the castle. Luigi is stuck back on the ground.

The web site hints that four more suits will become available in the game, so there is a possibility...

Is there a way to translate this page? I find it hard to navigate it.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Somebody on another forum pointed out that this game's intro is kinda reminiscent of the intro to Sonic 2006.

These videos are spectacular, especially the intro. I saw them a few days ago but to comment on here, I loved all of them. Everything about Super Mario Galaxy is looking just perfect for a Mario game. The level design, the gameplay, the visuals, the music, the presentation, it all looks superb. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

And is it me or did they use an orchestra for a few instances in some levels?
