Nov 16th for us Brits :)
3 days later. That's how it should be. Or 4 days for folk ordering online ;)
 
3 days later. That's how it should be.

At least with the 360, that's how it's pretty much always been...
PS3 a few days to weeks generally..

And as for Nintendo Wii stuff for the most part ..... errr months :mad: Which is simply inexcusable in this day & age, pure and simple.
 
And the GB since forever too.

I hate region coding. I hate it in consoles and films. Which is why I'm going to go the HD-DVD route :)
 
I never really understood the purpose of region encoding other than to profit from taxes/customs... right?

It's stupid.
 
Ur Mr Gay?!

I just noticed this, and it's pissing me off real bad:

In the title 'Super Mario Galaxy', you can see 7 twinkles/stars, right? They are all underneath certain letters. Now look what these letters are:

"sUpeR MaRio GalAxY". "UR MR GAY".

What the heck?! Nintendo should fire the guy who drew the title! I've always loved Mario and I'm getting the game at launch. Is this some stupid Easter Egg? I certainly don't appreciate it.
 
Fascinating. What is this called? When someone thinks they recognize a pattern that doesn't really exist?

I agree. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the game. I have it on preorder but we don't get it until the 29th here GRRR.

You have way too much time on your hands.
 
You didn't just notice this, right?

LOL!! Let's face it has anyone actually looked at Mario ? He's just your typical bear
:D

What the hell difference does it make in all seriousness ?

Seriously if your so worried about something so remotely inconsequential that it makes you feel uncomfortable then you need to ask yourself... Why am I really this upset ?
 
Incidental or not, I think it's hilarous and fits Mario quite well.

Mario isn't Captain Straight of Machotown after all. He's as camp as half the cast of Zelda.
 
Thats kinda of funny :p


Anyways i can not wait! It is really bothering me! I really want it!


EDIT: ^^^^^^^^ :D
 
I wasn't refering to the plot of Mario...we know that's not going to be all that gripping (at least Paper Mario was funny though)....but the games that are "supposed" to have good stories...they're still lame. And this is supposed to have great music...it's nicer music for sure...but not something I'll ever play when friends are over or hear at a club you know?

I don't think I've heard any film music in clubs either (at least ones that aren't, well, "club" songs).

Funnily enough, a friend of mine who isn't into games in the slightest, popped over wanting a CD full of driving music. In the end half the CD was full of songs from Metroid "for chill out" and some arranged Duke Nukem themes. As well as Eye of the Tiger :D

You also get these video game concerts that are proving to be incredibly popular. Times are a changing.
 
HAHAHA okay that U R MR GAY thing is absolutely hilarious. Have a sense of humor :D

Mario is certainly Captain Straight of Machotown! This guy goes around beating giant monsters down with his fists. He shatters giant brick blocks larger than his head with his bare hands, and can jump several times his own height while doing a flip and carrying two barrels of water.

Mario is hard core. Even Chuck Norris fears him. And the Princess invites him over for "cake"...

If you shoot a bullet at Mario, he jumps on the bullet, kicks off it, and comes down on your head. We're talking about a guy who killed the freakin' sun with a turtle shell. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone more manly.
 
Yes Praxis, but he does it in costume with a slightly trimmed handlebar moustache ;)

I can't wait for MR GAY, even though MR GAY isn't Mario - it's US! "U R MR GAY"

Mario's so manly he could wear a dress and he'd still be straight enough to put any compass to shame.
 
Umm, so how is he being a badass and his sexual preference (whatever it may be) have anything to do with one another...? :p

Doesn't matter to me which way Mario may swing. :cool:

Anyways, can't wait for this game! Just hope I can find some time to enjoy it what with college work and a new game project on the horizon.
 
Well, she WAS his girlfriend in Donkey Kong.

Mario's one hell of a committed guy, jumping over barrels, being chased by flames, and fighting giant filthy brown gorillas for his woman.

That's why WE'RE MR GAY, not Mario.
