After she saw the 2P trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2. She was ecstatic, she was so excited that we could actually play a 3d game together (she has trouble maneuvering while dodging enemies etc.) And she was excited as the 2P seems to function as me helping her through all the levels (not sure how i feel about it). Needless to say she logged into my Amazon and ensured that Mario Galaxy 2 was pre-ordered and smiled at me when she saw it was.

Well isn't it nearly the same as the first?

Can I help in figuring your girlfriend out?

I like you if solely because your profile picture is CArtman.

She didn't get to play the first unfortunately. ANd i have gotten 484 stars in it (242 twice) and i loaned it to my cousin. So i don't think I will be going down that street again. However, she dislikes mario games without Yoshi & she thinks the little helper star is cute. Also she likes the fact that 2P can hold onto coins, which I don't think you were able to do in the first.

Im glad to know im not the only loser who has finish the game with Mario and Luigi TWICE!! lol...

Its the greatest platformer ever... at least for the next 30 days or so.

lol your girlfriend is amazing

P2 can take any item and bring it to Mario.

She dislikes mario games without Yoshi? XD

I think Satoru Iwata is trying to steal her from you!

Iwata: (laughs)

Me three. Galaxy is just so fun to play that I even started to play through it a third time but got sidetracked. I'll be getting SMG2 on launch day.

On topic: My wife tried playing the first game but found the bowserfights too stressful and challenging. She played a little bit of the 2 player co-op but never really got into that. I'm sure that I'll try to get her to play SMG2 co-op, assuming that I can pry her away from The Sims 3 and Rune Factory: Frontier.
