Ah yes, the E3 2007 trailer, I think Boo Mario will let you fly, float through walls, and act as a disguise to pass normal boo's. And seeing that there is a spotlight in the transformation to boo mode, it looks like it gets rid of the costume

Yeah. It's just that his schtick - making pointless, often angry comments in Nintendo threads - is pretty tiresome. It's like cklmb making the same lame DQS joke in every Japanese sales update - which, to his credit, I don't think he did this week. 

I agree with you on Okami, and I agree that these pics are nice, I guess. But so were Mario 64's back in the day. Okami is going to be beautiful ten years from now, while the art in Gears of War, Galaxy, Killzone, etc. is going to be outdated ten months from now. Games that strive for photorealism seem to be more vulnerable to that than others - if your goal is to be more realistic than the game that came before you, you'll inevitably be beaten by the game that comes after you. I'll be very happy when true photorealism can finally be achieved, if for no other reason than devs will be forced to think more creatively artistically. 

I think Galaxy's art is going to have a longer shelf-life than most games, for just that reason (I don't think anyone can argue that they were going for a realistic approach here), but I don't know if it has that "timeless" quality. 

#4 is BEAUTIFUL.

but wait, the wii can't do normal mapping... (/sarcasm).

This game has just gone down in my most wanted list /jk

Yep here's Soriku's problem, he saw some amazing, awesome, incredible, creative, unbelievable, fun Mario... Galaxy......... Screenshots...... *faints from amazement stroke*

OMG

EDIT:  OMG!  Perfect post for my 4000th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Nice job on 4k posts Benkenobi.

I try to keep my "schtick" to a minimun, I know most people don't want to hear it. Just I got back from Montana and it's hard to get used to it being 90 freaking degrees over here. Also, I stayed up till 11:00 on the plane and I'm jazzed up on Diet Coke. Also, I have the urge to eat styrofoam.

But enough of my crazy rantings, I've been a long time Mario fan and this game made me want to cry, in a good way. The graphics are amazing, and if it's even half as good as Sunshine, I know I'll love it. Long live Mario and the "boing!" of legend!

so wait a sec. we have nintendo making fun of sony making fun of microsoft? sony had a screenshot of a hellghast with rrod and now nintendo has a tower making fun of the heilghast. oh the hilarity never ends.
