yeah Wii games does suffer unless you have a good scaler in your HDTV, or a scaler box.

???? I don't have a component cable, I have a 52-inch HDTV, it looks very well.

Before I continue, this is not a hate post. Anyways, let me add one thing about the game that I personally hated: stop repeating key events more than once please!

Every single time you switch to Luigi and after you get a star, he keeps telling you that you can switch to him any time when you see him in other galaxies (or something like that). I think I got it the first time damnit!

Also, when you want to deposit Star Bits in the bank, that stupid Toad keeps telling you that you can use those Star Bits in other save files on the same Wii and stuff every time you restart the game. Again, telling me once would have been enough.

There are a lot more example, but c'mon Shiggy, I'm not a five year old! :/

So, I guess other than that, the game is definitely one of the best Marios. Best 3D Mario? Nah, I still give that candle to SMG just because of the novelty factor and doing some things better (best exemple is the soundtrack).

Yep, it's annoying, but it doesn't kill the experience at all. I don't really mind, I keep skipping the messages.

I do mind because it seems like they think we're retarded or something. I think the brain can easily store that information, and it's not like when we get a game we've been anticipating for a long time we stop playing it for months and then don't remember what to do next!

Still, I agree with you, I could just skip the depositing and switching to Luigi altogether, but it's part of the game so why not use it. It's a slight annoyance that I just can't stop noticing!

I agree with some of the points made in this thread.  It is a very fun game, maybe 10 material.  But I do have some minor criticisms. 

1) What's with the camera?  They did a pretty good job in SMG, but I'm up to 70 stars in SMG2 and I've run into at least two instances where the camera man was behind something and I couldn't adjust it to see.  In fact, both times I've had the problem were in the beachbowl planet.  First when I tried to go into the tower and the camera wouldn't go down so I couldn't see mario or the sign next to him pointing "up".  I spent another 20 minutes looking elsewhere thinking I was in the wrong place before returning and trying again.  The second time was in that watering hole on the same level, where I jumped in and couldn't see anything so I had to get back out and try again.  Why is it so hard to figure out that if the rendering system doesn't have to draw the polys for the main character, then maybe the camera is in the wrong place!  3D camera tracking shouldn't be that hard.  There should be an "optimal" position for the camera for any point on the screen that the character can be dependent upon which way he is facing.  I shouldn't have to think about it at all.  I'll grant that it is better than some other 3d platformers, but it seems like such a simple thing to do...

2) Why can't Yoshi grab coins?  Somehow he can grab just about anything else in the game, but not the coins. 

3) I've had some "galactic shakes", where the whole screen is trembling.  I've only seen it on the boulder ball comet challenge, but definitely a bug that didn't get worked out of the system before release.  Didn't interfere with gameplay, but a minor bug anyway. 

4) Preference: I don't like the hubs.  They are a useless waste of time. I finish a planet and get some kind of trophy for my hub that chubby makes a comment about, then I have to walk to the opposite side of the spaceship to go to the next planet.  Comeon, what's with that?  At least keep me at the helm if you're going to distract me.

5) I agree with the repetitive things that could be done once or twice, then ignored from that point on.  I don't need to know that "a ghost has appeared" every time I use Luigi.  And with the coin / star bit / commet coins - um, one screen / one acknowledgement please?  I don't like pushing A, then A, then A, then A, then A again as it deluges me with useless and repetitive information.  One screen giving a summary is good.

Having said that, I think this is definitely better than the original SMG, especially second player being able to do so much more.  I loved NSMBW  and that is  better than SMG2 in my opinion.  From the quick abduction of Peach to the perfect for 4 players all ages gameplay (bubble when in trouble) and super quick navigation...I yearn for the next incarnation of that one.

Thank you sir these are exactly my thoughts.

I read through his complaints and I don't see whats so bad about the changes.

most likely doing 480i display with deinterlace which would get rid of a lot of the jaggies then, just not as sharp.

Lol @ the rant. XD

I don't really think I did.  If you're talking about me saying the Wii has one of the weaker libraries for being a dominating market leader, I think I would have a decent amount of people agree or at least concede that is possible.  And for the Wii series not cutting it, again, a large number would agree. I know a good amount would disagree too.  Aside from that I think I'm just being logical and/or stating fact.  I may have been to forceful with language, so sorry about that.  But I think I have a decent argument and didn't present it as fact.
