I agree in principle, but I still think SMB3 is the greatest platformer ever made.

Mario 64's a close second though.

For me SMG is the best platformer ever made, one of the best games ever really.
SMW,SMB3 and SMB are really great games as well. I´m so pumped for this game!

That's a popular stance. I dunno though. To me, Galaxy is dethroned because it takes forever for the the intro to finish, and because of...something. Don't mistake me, Galaxy's awesome once it gets into the swing of things, but the first two hours or so are just so tedious that they make replaying it from the beginning less enthralling than it should be. But we already had a topic on that, so I'll shut up now.

I think from stars 3-242 Galaxy is probably the most fun I've ever had, but those first couple I oculd understand being a bit of a bother.

But I expect this game, this one right here?

I expect to actually play it more.

Ah, well I don't know.

My uncle played it once and got kind of competative, he was like.

"I could make that jump, you know I can make that jump right? Just give me a few more tries and I could make that jump."

My neighbors seemed to enjoy humiliating me in front of my daughter =/... never again.

My daughters first game was bomberman on my Wiiware so this stuff is new to her.

Myself, I wasn't planing on picking this game up at least not yet. (girlfriends take a lot of up keep, time wise.) I got it and I find I imagine playing areas I know are there but I haven't been yet. ^_^

Me too. My excitement has been increasingly in a steady curve since E3. It's gone from underwhelm-aton to Megaton in just a few months. Sunday can't come soon enough!

Did I just say "underwhelm-aton"?

 Thanks for the response. I'm happy to hear that your daughter, in particular, has taken her first steps into a larger world.

Mario: he's crack for kids, man!

I'm up to the 5th world and I just got game over after losing to the boss 3 times.

I think I'm gonna take a long break from this game.

You can get a game over in a non-NES Mario game? Now I have to question your statement that you own this game!

Use one of the infinite 1-up spots and try again?

What are these infinite 1-up spots you speak of?
