Well, you can either check out our full hands on preview via the C3 game page or you can read what Nintendo have to say about it...

The ultimate Nintendo hero is taking the ultimate step ... out into space. Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy.

Shake, tilt and point! Mario takes advantage of all the unique aspects of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller, unleashing new moves as players shake the controller and even point at and drag items with the pointer.

Mario essentially defined the 3-D platforming genre with Super Mario

Graphically it's looking great. There doesn't seem to a lot of 'doing stuff' going on though, other then zooming from planet to planet.

It hurts my eyes so bad, it just too good, visual wise. This game alone proves that the Wii is capable of producing some superior graphics. As for the gameplay, not much going on, but I notice some added extras since E3. The Galaxy looks to be pretty big as well.

I'm taken back by how good those images look. I don't think I'll watch the video at the risk of my computer crashing (until later anyway!) but I@m sure it looks great XD I can't wait for this game to come out!

It really does look excellent. Having played the E3 build I can add into that great gameplay and an unique experience that is genuinely good fun. Can't wait!

Trying to think of a witty signature after 'Hacker-gate'...

GeOOOOORgous.

That's exactly why it looks so good!

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

WOOHOO!!

So, GDC wasn't so crap afterall, it's still looking lovely!! Smilie

I just got that weird feeling of butterfly excitement in my stomach that I rarely ever get these days.

This'll be the next Super Mario World. Or at least, it's looking and sounding that way.

Butterflies in my stomach, I say!Smilie

The trailer looks very impressive, I felt the same way I did when I first saw Mario 64 - must be a good sign! Smilie

I'm still interested to see if space will be some sort of over world to house levels in someway or if the entire game will take place there.

Either way, can't wait! Smilie

Oh my god..... just watched the trailer...

I was in awe at some of the section where it showed tons of planets... Also, the new Petey Pirhana thing looked awesome too. The lighting effects are great.

It defies all the laws of physics, but who fucking cares!! Smilie It looks incredible!!

Aw yeah! Definitely gotta' save back money for that! Too bad it probably won't be released any time soon.

I kinda hope you don't spend too much time just being chucked between planets though... It could get a bit boring

Yeah it does look quite nice. I assume it supports 480p, along with that widescreen-ness going on there.

Looks wonderfull, but i still feel it was slightly lacking from nintendo in respect to news and revelations, i would have thought Miyamoto would have been given more leeway. LS

I'm not impressed. It looks far too boring and repetitive. Yes, graphically it's awesome, but it looks like it has no decent gameplay whatsoever. It just seemed to be collecting coins all the time.

And the amount of times Mario screams "Weehee!" better be removed from the final build.

I'm thinking this game could be considered best platformer ever, possibly even up there in best games ever made for me.

I agree, it's bare concept will allow for some crazy never before seen action. LS

This looks excellent!! Smilie I wonder how many hours of gameplay it will be!?!?

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

The physics of the planets reminds me of Psychonauts... it'l looking good, I'll be buying it.

I assume it's an early demo build, they used the same music they used at E3 '06, as usual, the final game will prolly be a lot more in depth.

Seeing as there were screenshots of daytime areas, I assume it won't just be one large area, though I might be wrong, it might steadily change. Would be pretty cool TBH.

This game is amazing. It's the Mario I've been waiting for ever since Mario64. I didn't want that trailer to end!

This trailer makes me feel happy. I think it's going to be the first 3D Mario game that I can really be getting on with, Mario 64 didn't really do it for me in all honesty (I got bored halfway through) and the less said about Sunshine the better. I wish all Wii games looked like this!

Wow.... the one game that can make C3 all get along so well because of. All because of some little plumber man who likes to jump...

God bless him. *cries*

Now that I think about it, this game should set a new benchmark for Wii graphics, they're, in my opinion, breaktaking, for the Wii in any case. if every Wii game had this kind of visual effort, or more, put into it, then the Wii would be a much better console.
