Good eye, Tye :O

But it's not much of a surprise that Bowser captured Peach xD

I wonder if Rosalina's gonna be in SMG2... You wouldn't happen to have any info on that, would ja Tye?

It wasn't my good eye, someone else noticed it and it was posted on GoNintendo. XD

And about Rosalina, apparently it was hinted that she'll return in Nintendo Power.

She'd better return. She brought a tiny bit of story to the Mario universe.

Well, unfortunately for you, then, Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn't going to have as much of a story as the first one did. =p

Rosalina returns (kinda), but this time she's the Super Guide, called the "Cosmic Guide" in Galaxy 2.

Same.
This game looks great, wish more Wii games were like it.

Also, new information:

- every power-up from Super Mario Galaxy will return
- Cloud Mario: Summon 3 clouds by shaking the Wiimote
- to get more clouds, you must pick up another cloud power-up
- Fluffy Bluff and Cloudy Court Galaxies feature the cloud suit
- levels feature blowing wind that will move your clouds
- clouds disappear after several seconds
- ground pound through clouds
- lose cloud suit if you touch water
- co-op called Co-Star mode
- player 2 uses Wiimote to shoot star bits, collect objects, help Mario jump higher, and hold enemies in place, kill/stun enemies by shaking Wiimote as you hold onto them, tickle NPCs
- Player 2 can use d-pad to send cheers and other messages through player 1's Wiimote speaker
- Hint TV: a quick video plays on TV screens in the game to show you how to complete an area
- Cosmic Guide: The Cosmic Witch (which resembles Rosalina in the trailer) takes over controls to play the game for you
- Cosmic Guide appears if you die a certain amount, or if you are stuck in a particular section for a long time
- if you use the Cosmic Guide, you'll get a bronze star at the end of the level, instead of the gold
- press the plus button to end Cosmic Guide control
- drums added to the music when you ride Yoshi
- uses the same graphical engine as Galaxy

Looks like Nintendo's last stand is going to be a big hit.

Why do you say "last stand"? >_>

 

[Blue_Jay]

I can't wait for this game! It looks like so much fun!

 

[Tyeforce]

A new Super Mario Galaxy 2 "transmission" (as they're calling them) from Nintendo's Wii YouTube Channel! It shows a lot of gravity shifting and 2D gameplay.

I'm pretty sure it has a variation upon it in it. Don't worry, the music will be great. It's gonna be orchestrated just like the first one.
