First, let's start with the very beginning....the gamestop pre-order call...

:3

ANYWAY, who's getting this game? It officially releases tomorrow. Lost track of time and called my Toys R Us today, who said their still accepting pre-orders, so I'm in the clear.

The gravitational function looks amazing, and this game has yet to get lower than a 9 on any major gaming site.

Gamepot- 9.5
IGN- 9.7
Game Trailers- 9.8

Out of these, I found the ign video review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHrwyiOVjIs) the most interesting, more because of their amazing footage...(No one can trust the words of IGN anyway. >_______>)

Proved them wrong about the pre-order, eh, Teej?

"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

I'll be getting the game next weekend: that's when I'll have a chance to fetch my pre-order. After getting to play it two days ago, though, I'm hopeful that this will be fun!

Don't most game stores only hold pre-orders for like, 3 days?

I know Gamestop holds it for 2 days. I guess Canadian chains have a different policy?

Geez, first you get free healthcare, then your game stores hold pre-orders for weeks at a time?

Picked it up this afternoon. I'm about five stars in...so far I'd rate it in the top 5 games I've purchased all year. =D

Yes, it IS that good. If you're a Wii owner, BUY THIS GAME.

Forty-some stars into the game, I can say Nintendo finally has a substantially long, and reasonably deep 3-D adventure on Wii. Oh, and with the right story for the job: Bowser kidnaps princess. No development until very end. <<That's how it should be, Nintendo - nice job!

Yeah, there is! His plan "moves forward." ...duh?

Even so, the conclusion is pretty visually impressive. But why is Mario so happy about

the Luma that was with him turned into the new Galaxy he was looking at, and he was happy to welcome it!

You know, the purple Luma outside of the Terrace rearranges the comets for 20 star bits..XD

On a side-note, I got all 120 today. Time for the second playthrough! XD

At least I hit the 120 before the spoilers - and I'm halfway through the

Spoiler (click to toggle)

Luigi game. I'm-a gonna be ticked if nothing cool comes from that (if you have a guide, don't tell me).

From what I gather, Luigi is an awkward sort of Hard Mode. His faster running and higher jumping also make him harder to handle, which gets nasty on precision stages. Also, he's a sucker underwater - not only does his air decrease faster, but spinning also takes off from it.

And the whole 'saving himself' thing - that was kinda weird. :P

UPDATE:

I just capped off the

Hey, it was fun - I doubt I'm nearly done playing it.
