By now, we all know about the Wii, and the fact that it's going to be different from anything we've seen before. How this is incorporated into Super Mario Galaxy remains a mystery. What kind of edge will it give to Mario? What will this enable Mario to do?

Graphically, the game looks stunning, as expected. Everything so far looks fairly crisp and detailed, though we can't be sure until we can all play it. Mario himself looks great as well as his surroundings, which screenshots and the title indicates that it's obviously space

But why space? What can that do to the storyline of the game? We can only speculate, but right now it seems like Nintendo's going to try and do something off-the-charts with this game. Up to this point, there isn't very many space references in any of the Mario adventure-type games, so we really can't be sure why our hero would need to blast off into space

Hopefully this game will be great, but some fans may not expect so. It is after all the first Mario game, other than Super Smash Bros. Brawl, to feature Mario. Super Mario 64 started greatness on the Nintendo 64. Super Mario Sunshine really wasn't up to par in my opinion, giving fans even more reasons to await this next adventure. Can Nintendo and Mario rebound from the GCN into the future of the Wii?
