People actually think this is going to be a holiday game? Seriously? It's pretty much completed now, why in god's name would they wait an entire year to release it? I'm calling it now - It's pretty much an impossibility for this to be releasing after Q2.

The real question isn't "Why in God's name would they wait an entire year to release it?", it's "Why in God's name wouldn't they wait an entire year to release it?".

Though they may be finished with the game, they're not going to release it just like that. I'll give you 7 good reasons:

 

1) Nintendo has a reputation of holding back Mario and Zelda games.

2) It's a "Mario" title, not to mention 3-D, in which this is going to be a big game, if not, the biggest game for the Wii.

3) Nintendo wants to make as much money as they can because they know it will sell the most during the holidays.

4) The first Super Mario Galaxy was released in all regions in November 2007.

5) All the other 3-D Mario games were released in the second half of the year (in the U.S.).

6) They showed a demo trailer for the first Super Mario Galaxy in mid-2006, but they didn't release it until November 2007.

7) They still have to show a playable demo at E3 2010 and then advertise the game before they release it. They're not going to release it before then.

 

My point is this: Unless they come up with more information fast, and I mean FAST, don't get your hopes up because you may end up being sorely disappointed. Those are just words of friendly advice. And technically, it's almost a year and a half, not just a year because Super Mario Galaxy 2 was announced at E3 (June) 2009.
