Just read through the translation, just wanted to say thanks! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Arghhh it's great

I wonder how big the galaxy will be...

We get the same thing by Wii fans (and occasionally PS3 fans) in the Microsoft forum, but strangely enough it's usually Wii fans.  Hopefully everyone starts respecting each forum.

It's called going by the franchise.  It can give you a good idea if both games are from a franchise.  Super Mario Sunshine ranks better then all the Ratchet and Clank games on metacritics.  When it comes to Ratchet and Clank games on the console.  In 2004  Up your Arsenal got a 91.  The 2005 offering got an 81.  Big drop off.  Size matters got an 85 however was for a handheld. 

Mario 64 got a 94 on meta critics.  The "much" worse Mario Sunshine got a 92.  This game looks like a bigger and better Mario 64. 

It's deductive reasoning based on past data.  You don't know for sure, but atleast you have data backing it up.

ok definate buy, better come out for christmas here in UK.

generally i have never liked platformers, i tried a couple of jak games and a ratchet n clank, which were ok, but not my thing, similar responce to what i believe was super mario world [played on it for an hour or so at my cousins house] and also had a go on that purple dragon one [name?], which put me off totally. though now i am more into gaming i realise spyro [remembered it] isnt exactly highly rated.

however i had a growing interest in galaxy and commented on an earlier galaxy thread here, where i was reccomended super mario 64 on VC which i bought, and it is amazing, i do have a problem with the camera sometimes [wish i had more control] and getting out of water took me ages to get used to properly, so it wasnt perfect but still amazing. mario really is in a league of its own,
is banjo-kazooie/tooie a platformer, because those are brilliant too. probably worth the same league as mario, though definately not top of the league.

also i noticed some gravity effects in SM64, like in the final bowser world, and they are some of the best bits, so high hopes for galaxy.

@legend,
i agree, i personally am a nintendo fan [only owned sega and nintendo consoles] but in terms of 'fanboyism' [read; immature version of fan] on forums i see, it seems about 80% to be sony nintendo attacks. with 15% nintendo m'soft and 5 between ms and sony... this is probably partly because i dont look at much x-box or ps news/threads but i still feel its much more sony/nintendo flamers

i suppose a big reason currently is the turnaround in marketshare for those companies which has been an irritant to sony fans and bait for nintendo... i do recall seeing more microsoft vs other two before last November, so sales is probably the main catalyst [before nov ms fans were saying their lead is insurmountable sony fans were probably thinking ps3 would be ahead of 360 well before now, and ms/sony were both laughing at the "gimmicky" wii remote.

if only fewer gamers were 12-16.

@omoneru

thanks again for the awesome translation. there were definitely some interesting tidbits that were worth reading in there.

As for the screens, one of them in the first scan looks like Mario is on a wooden ship. Maybe I am blind, but that's what it looks like and it made me think exactly about world 8 with the floating ship levels in Mario 3. It would be so awesome if they brought back elements like that. I also like how someone mentioned he should have fireball powers again. I agree strongly.

Yes, omoneru, thanks for the translation...I passed over it the first time...it certainly is interesting. 60% of the ideas came from Mario128? I'm guessing Mario128 was all about spherical puzzles and such...
