It would have better graphics- and with equal gameplay the xbox version would be better. Gameplay> graphics but there's no reason not to try and have both.

This is where I have to step in

The key thing about Galaxy 2 (and the first) for me is that the spin attack was implemented so well. How would it be done with the same satisfying feel on the 360?

Also, how about collecting the star bits? How are you going to point at the screen, collect the star bits without ruining the camera?

Not a bash at you or anyone, just questions. I agree that you should strive for both, but you shouldn't sacrifice gameplay for graphics. Galaxy 2 was a good example, but Epic Mickey or The Last Story would be just as fine to choose...


PS3 can do all that and PLUS add amazing HD graphics

PLUS add amazing development costs PLUS add amazing game development cycles!

The thing is, remember, would it make it any better, and worth it?

Making Super Mario Galaxy HD isn't going to cost much and I doubt the development cycle would take as long as Nintendos standard cycle. 

People also over exaggerate the amount of time it takes to develop a HD game and the costs during the development. Like all things, it's about how you manage time and money. Uncharted 2 is far and away the best looking game on consoles and it took less than two years to develop and only cost 18 million dollars. The first Uncharted took less than three years and it was reportedly made for less than the sequels budget. Demons Soul's was an extremely cheap to develop game and it only took two years to make. The same could be said for Silent Hill: Homecoming and the Saw games from Konami, which have all sold less than 500,000 units, but have all been profitable. 

My point is that making Mario Galaxy in HD and just using normal controls isn't going to cost as much as you think and it's going to take the standard two year dev cycle that most games take. This would make it the superior version, mainly because it's in HD and the annoying tacked on waggle controls are thrown out. 



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Im not here to discuss developing of the game, that wont effect my game experience at all. Im just saying, no doubt this game would have been much better on PS3 thanks to PS3's hardware. It could have had co-op or maybe bigger levels, HD graphics, trophies, maybe even some DLC...thats not to say that Wii version of the game is bad (its actually the best platformer in 2010 IMO), but i think it would have been better on PlayStation 3

 

Quick question: How much time and money do you think it took for GOW Collection to be released?

...I Don't know. But probably not long...

Yeah I suppose, MAYBE on the PS3 it could be worthwhile, I'm talking about the 360 though, as is what the thread suggests. Without Move, it would be much worth

Let's leave it at that



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Your arguement reminds of the game okami. I assume they could do around the same thing. Also a button could do the spin attack(more effectively too). I guess with all the buzz surrounding Kinect, you forgot that the xbox 360 still has a controller that uses buttons.

So you went through all of this just because a 360 fansite that most of us never would've heard of said that SMG would be better on the 360?

As a budding writer, I think there are a lot more worthwhile topics to ply your trade with than this fanboy drivel.  It's not very flattering.  Sorry.

Agreed. Some of this guy's topics are stupid, but at least his writing is good.

The article itself was funny,my favorite part was when they talked about friend codes and how internet can eat children. It was a funny line. I dont agree with what they said.

@Conegamer  I agree that if you want X game you should get X console, but shouldnt some of you practice what you preach???  How many threads ive seen about why this Castlevania, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Silent Hill, etc. not being released on Wii.  I just find it funny a Ninty fan would tell HD fans that. Im surprised no one has said "I shouldnt have too" yet
