haha i was wondering when a thread was going to be made on this game. i was especially surprised that nicholas hadn't made one saying "WII GETS ANOTHER AAA TITLE - IGN GIVES GALAXY 9.7!!!" or something like that, haha.

but yeah, this game looks sweet. i'm not buying it, but my drawmate is, so i'll definitely be playing it. the ign review just raves about the game.

This is truly a saving grace IMO for hardcore gamers and the Wii. With so many killer titles coming this holiday season on PS3/360, Nintendo needed something like this.

Nintendo's holiday lineup is very blah IMO compared to PS3/360, but I'm probably looking more forward to this one game than any of the other titles this holiday season.

It's weird getting used to controlling Mario upside down and jumping on goombas. At around a quarter complete, the game varies enough to keep things interesting.

I'm interested to see how difficult it gets on the quest for 120.

Note, for all who haven't pre-ordered this, Toys R us is giving a $25 gift card with the purchase, I plan on stopping in there tomorrow, getting SMG and another game, getting a cool $35 in gift cards (newpaper had a thing where if you bought $75 you got a $10 GC) and then turning that $35 into most of another game.

Go me.

I thought it was weird for it to come out on a monday and not a tuesday, but I went in to GameStop today to pick up the copy I reserved, since it's all over the internet that today is the release date. I was disappointed when they told me it's out tomorrow, but they gave me a commemorative coin to hold me over - SWEET!

We won the revolutionary war. I'm sure a key tenet of the reasons for fighting was faster access to Video games.

Crap, it's out on Friday here. I've still got like the last third of Zelda to do as well as more or less the entirety of Corruption. I need to stop being so slack although I believe that this isn't too long

Hah same here. I've got like 1 level left in Zelda and a little more than half of Metroid to go. The only game I've fully beaten recently is Super Paper Mario.

I stopped in to Walmart and Best Buy today thinking the game was out, no luck. Guess I'm heading back out tomorrow.

They ship today - some stores get them on the shelves today, some don't. I live about 80 miles from the nearest major airport so we never get games until the day after they ship.
