In fact, this year, they have to scale it down to an E2. Couldn't afford all 3 E's.

So SMG2 will be the least sucessful of the SMG Trilogy, and SMG3 will exceed all expectations and become the best seller of them all?

(Don't get me wrong, I love SMB2USA.)

You know, it might be in reverse. Since SMG1 had SMB3 elements, and SMG2 is rumored to have SMB2USA gameplay, then...

SMG3 might be as basic and fun and perhaps as epic a finale as SMB1 was a pioneer.

Yoshi was in SMG!

Well, it's not specific on gameplay, but IGN's article is even more specific than I thought:

When we pressed him for more, Miyamoto added, "Maybe the best thing for you to understand is that all of the leaders of those teams -- of the Mario team, of the Zelda team and of the Pikmin team -- all sit within 150 feet of my desk. The Galaxy team is the only one that's farther away -- they're in Tokyo. But I do have video conferencing with them."

We stunned him with a hard-hitting follow-up: 'We don't really have a question. We just want you to make another Galaxy game.' To this, Miyamoto replied, "Leave it to me."

Alright. We've already seen the Mario and Pikmin teams warming up with Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin 1 ports.
Then there's Pikmin 3, which is already known.
We've also been shown LoZ: Spirit Tracks.

Now, based on all that, considering he's mentioned all 3 franchises that we've heard from recently, THEN for him to not only specifically talk about a Galaxy team but moreover to say that he presently has video conferencing rather than past tense referring to SMG1's production process,

...yeah, expect a Super Mario Galaxy 2 at some point. Heck, expect a 3. Remember, the Wii is copying the NES' success frame.

Also, Aldo, please can you hook me up with the link that mentioned that Miyamoto wanted to make Galaxy 2 play like SMB2USA? I'm late, but that's one hell of a juicy tidbit in my opinion. Needs more sauce though.

I can't find it. I mean, I know the site I found the interview at, but it's not there, now.

Or maybe that wasn't it? Heck, it's been a year, and I really didn't think that much of it. I will be, though, when I'm running from Phanto yet again, eh?

Wii Play called, it asked you where you've been the past two years.

I don't care if that target shooting game did have the ducks, it is no replacement for the greatness that is Duck Hunt.

Yeah, I'd like to see Star Fox or Kirby.

Come to think of it, it's kind of weird that Wolf got an SSBB slot.

And as complete as it looked, Kirby Wii/GCN should be released.

The big huge Christmas-time game is either one of:

-Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Pikmin 3

We know the Zelda team was "working on something", and we also knew there were DS projects in development.
Well, now we know that this project was LoZ: Spirit Tracks.

So now, Miyamoto strongly hinted at SMG2 in interviews even going so far as saying that he wanted it to play like SMB2USA, and he also unwittingly announced Pikmin 3, which, just got one of its predecessors (Pikmin 1) ported to the Wii in addition to the SSBB roster spot. And remember, both of these things occurred at last year's E3.

It's either one of those. Could it be both? Sure. But the emphasis is on one.

An expected sequel that everyone will expect and not cause as much excitement? The hell kind of marketing message is that? When you have a product coming out, you sell it. End of story.

So this looks like reverse psychology. That one is Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 remade.

But now this other game, I'm not sure. I mean, it could be Mega Man 10 or Mega Man Starforce 4 given the Boss contest, but it could also be Devil May Cry 5 given Bayonetta, God of War 3, and Brutal Legend.

You know, I was going to rule out an HD Remix, but it's steady work for those artists. And lately, Capcom has been extremely hesitant to straight port anything without doing something to it.

Megaman: Powered Up
Maverick Hunter X
Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Street Fighter II HD Remix
Bionic Commando Rearmed

Yeah, I could see an MvsC2 HD Remix joining that list.

If you were hoping for Devil May Cry action on the PSP, you can forget it.

There's just no pleasing people that are so entrenched in a certain mindset, so why bother with them when they can focus on a whole new generation that's generally more accepting and willing to buy the "copy&paste" games they toss out.

Because then you become Sonic Team.

I'm cornered, I'm sorry, I can't find an argument to beat that. Strangely enough, I saw it coming the moment I wrote the opening post.
I guess I'm just much more for another more action-filled title than another Megaman RPG, huh.

I know, and understand. I'd like to see a new Mega Man X game, CM2, X9, Xtreme 3, whatever.
All I'm saying is, you knew someone was going to bring up that Mega Man games have forever been repetitive, even during Classic.

I think that's why Mario does so well, and people are looking forward to Explodemon.
