Super Mario Galaxy launches in the US today, just 11 days after its release in Japan. As always, most retailers won't have it available until Tuesday, so we recommend calling ahead if you plan to look for it today.

Just got it! I'm only on my first star... But it hasn't met expectation quite yet.
The camera view is a worse than Sunshine, but I can manage, and the controls are off from 64 and sunshine.
But it's still really really sweet.

You can't say you're on the first star and then make any of those assertions reasonably.

Don't be like SolidShroom. Don't judge it before you've finished it.

That said, I have preordered SMG online. I should get it within 3-5 days.

$50 gift card in hand (adding to $5 put down for pre-order), I obtained it today at my local Game Crazy.

Toys R Us doesn't get the shipment till tomorrow.

that completely ruined my day.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Oh, I thought the TRU deal was for pre-orders only.

Same here too.  I haven't even got a call from GameStop about my pre-order yet.  I'll stop by TRU after school first tomorrow just in case I can still get the $25.

.-. I was merely stating my opinion about the game thus far. Not writing a review.
That's why I said where I was.

YES!!! I'm getting this on Christmas along with Super Paper Mario! I have a feeling this game will be awesome!
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!

C'mon man. If a game is bad at first it'll probably be bad till the end. I mean, I've played E.T., and while I haven't finished it, I know it's an awful game. There's only a small degree of judging you can do to a game before you finish it.

Something about that sounds very profound.

So I'm up to 28 stars and I really should go to bed.
Let's do the Mario, all together now!

Amazon shipped it today. Sadly, they used the United States Postal Service. Amazon estimates I'll get it on Noverber 20. I doubt it'll actually arrive.

So I got the game at about 2:30 on Monday, and I've been busy with both real life and the adventures of a portly plumber since that point.  So far, the game is good, although I felt surprisingly underwhelmed when I began playing today.  Things have been picking up as the game has progressed, though.

Real life returns soon, then a small batch of the Galaxy.  Let's see how long it takes to reach the "ending" this time.

Whenever you get your hands on the game, enjoy yourself.

No offense, but why did you post in this thread and then make a blog entry about having 28 stars?  Your other blogs were interesting and gave new info, pictures, etc.  This one is little more than opinion.  It's probably on par with of most other blogs I've seen on the internet so I guess my peeve is with blogs in general and not this your's specifically.  On the other hand, I put a lot of opinion and shameless promotion of my own Mii Artisan in my recent blog.  Darn it.  Now I'm peeved at myself.

The USPS still hasn't picked up my copy from Amazon's warehouse. Amazon told them to get it yesterday.

I'm starting to think I shouldn't have ordered SMG online at all. The USPS still says they haven't picked it up yet.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn't order/pre-order it. I just go to the store and buy it. Less wait.

I have beaten the game. I have 72 stars (I am trying to get Luigi!) and my favorite galaxy is now the Beach Bowl Galaxy for some odd reason.
KOOLO LIMPA!!!
