Backup to Mario Galaxy's release. It was an awesome game, one that could be rivaled as the true sequel to Super Mario 64. Maybe even a true successor. Even though it was a tad on the easy side, you can't say you didn't like the game at all.

Then Mario Galaxy 2 is revealed at E3'09. I admit, I was excited just by the announcement on its own. But then...I started seeing something odd. Everyone was whining about it. Why? Because Galaxy hasn't been out that long? That's it's rehashing a game engine used a year ago?

Here's what I say:
Shut the hell up.

You're still getting an amazing looking game with a hellva lot of new features, including an actual ridable Yoshi that we haven't seen since Sunshine on the GC! Who wouldn't want some company while surfing the galaxy, eh?

You can also do the following:
- Slow down time
- Freeze oceans
- Fight a bunch of Shadow Marios at once
- Drill through an entire planet

And there's even more things we don't even know about!

Oh, forgot to mention this, the game's gonna be more challenging thanks to that patent they filled out. Now if you get stuck on a hard puzzle, you can look at a reference to figure it out if you want to. Thanks to that, we can actually have more challenging games without having to sacrifice people who want to play just because they can.

WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THINGS THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YET? JESUS, PEOPLE!

Okay, I'm done. No more ranting. XD
