Well, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be great with the new Yoshi gameplay elements for sure.

...But the question remains: Could it have been something entirely new? In the meantime, I guess we'll be getting another Mario Galaxy game.

I understand that Nintendo's been taking their series in a lot of new directions in the past five or seven years, but I think they're allowed one direct sequel to a console Mario platformer.

Sure, and the gameplay for that direction is quite good too (gravity puzzles, space travelling, etc.). I would have been sad if there would have been a sequel at the time of Super Mario Sunshine (it wasn't bad though)! xD
