Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review

When Nintendo makes a mainline, non-sports related Mario title, one thing has almost always been a certainty. It’s not a sequel. At least not in the classical, “more of the same, but more awesome” sense. When Nintendo announced Super Mario Galaxy 2, many feared that Nintendo has finally fallen into the sequel trap. Thankfully, that’s not entirely the case.

I have a terrible memory. I couldn’t tell you how old I am unless I know what year it is. Even that gets shaky sometimes, so when people asks me about trends in video game releases, I just spout out whatever general wisdom there is about video game releases. “Oh yeah, there’s too many games in November.” “Yeah I agree.
