Ignore him, he's obviously lying ...

I've played and completed every Mario game ever, and I simply don't know how anyone could get the 120 stars in less than 20 hours unless they knew everything about the game and were doing a speed run.

Fine, prove me wrong :(

Seriously though, in order for someone to be good enough to complete Mario Galaxy in less than 10 hours with all stars you would have to find collecting every star to be a trivial task ... If you're playing a cinematic game where the story keeps you playing you might be able to complete a short game if it is that easy, but you can't enjoy a game like Mario if it is trivial. I find it difficult to believe that someone who found the game that easy would not be so bored after an hour that they would turn off the system and walk away.

lol ok i am not going to discuss with you anymore i cant remember how much green stars does the game have if i played it more than 9 months ago or something like that..... i just know i beated it on one afternon so i really dont care if u dont belive me and its not the point of the topic.. at all SMG is a good game but pretty easy i think i never died or just ones...

if i still had my wii i would have checked mi log

You are lying and anyone who played the game knows that you are. It took me 40+ hours to get all 242 stars. There is no possible way that it took you 6 hours to get half of that.

The day I got it, I stayed up most of the night playing. Lets say it was somewhere around the six hours you claimed. I pretty sure I didn't even have the highest observatory powered up in that time, let alone collect all the stars.

You never died, or only died once?  I thought the game was a little on the easy side for a Mario game, but this is ridiculous.  I guessing you played the first couple of levels and quit, if that.  Some of the later levels, and especially Luigi's Purple Coins and the purple coins on the space junk levels are extremely difficult.

I'll give 4lc0h0l the benefit of the doubt, that he just misremembers how long he played over the course of a day or two, since it was quite a few months ago the game released. 6-7 hours sounds like a speedrun time to me too. I'm not sure the point of the argument with him.

As for the thread... I have to agree that it gets more and more fun to watch the hardcore fume, as the Wii rises to new levels of success and the overall experience of the console gets fleshed out.

The OP is not totally original, exactly. I didn't get past the first line without realizing that this was another Wii/NES comparison. But we can afford to have this discussion every few weeks or months just to see how the rhetoric changes.

So? Nintendo has never rev'd anything...Gameboy Advance looked like the GameGear. Wii controller was taken from the dreamcast prototype controller. The abiltiy of the wii is the same as a console that went under a long time ago (ps1 era.) The NES was basice just with a slighly different controller a d-pad...

I hate to break it to some people on this forum, but the Wiimote is nothing spectacular.  Instead of pressing x, you waive your hand side to side, instead of pressing square, you waive your hand up and down.  If that is your prefered method of input to the game, so be it, but it isn't preferred by everyone.  That isn't totally directed at you Mike, but at some fan boys who have posted on this thread and across this site.

No, it's more advanced than that. At least in games which were built from scratch to use the wiimote's functions properly (Kororinpa, Zack & Wiki, Boom Blox), and not ports of other games which simply emulate button presses (Zelda: TP is probably the most obvious offender). The latter can also apply to games designed with a lack of imagination, but to use that as the barometer of the wiimote's abilities is short-sighted.

My God, how do you even manage to operate a personal computer? Does anyone else think its time for this guy to get a vacation?

nintendo is better than any other company! IMO
