Today is a big day for Wii owners across the nation as Super Mario Galaxy is now on store shelves. Galaxy is the first big Wii game to hit the console since its release last November. The game boasts visuals that push Nintendo's console to a new level, as well as the fantastic gameplay you would expect from a Mario title.
The atmosphere of the game is unlike anything you have experienced from a previous Mario game. The space setting forces you to deal with the law of gravity in addition to the standard Mario enemies.
The aspect of the game that I am most excited about is the return of popular power-ups like the fire flower. Super Mario 3 was known for the many transformation items that you could get, and that ultimately kept the game fresh during future replays. The return of the airships also have me giddy.
The Nintendo World Store in New York had a Galaxy release celebration last night. Thousands of people attended the event, which gave gamers the first opportunity to buy the critically acclaimed game. Event goers also got plenty of free swag to make their trip worthwhile.
Check out The Chanticleer over the next few weeks for the final verdict on Super Mario Galaxy. Until then, check out the opening to the game.
