Will Super Mario Galaxy 2 surpass the first one?

Highly doubtful.

This game has less going for it.

Super Mario Galaxy was the big and highly anticipated Christmas season game. SMG2 is just a spring release with people not so interested.

Super Mario Galaxy did most of what SMG2 does first. There won't be nearly as many surprises, people know this and will pass on this game as a result.

Really? I think it has more going for it. According to Miyamoto, 95-99% of the content is new. Miyamoto said there was so much that they had wanted to do in Galaxy 1, but they just couldn't do it in time and the stuff is in Galaxy 2.

I can't wait, the game already looks like it'll be a lot better than the first IMO. :3
