I really want to play this but I think I can wait until Christmas.

11/8/2007 2:04:01 PM

anyone know what is unlocked when you get all 120 stars in this game? IGN said it was the ultimate...i bet you can play as luigi

11/8/2007 3:41:56 PM

I would never call anything in a game "ultimate" unless it could give head while you were playing

11/8/2007 3:42:58 PM

^^I don't think that would be too "ultimate"... you could play as Luigi in SM64 DS.

11/8/2007 3:54:34 PM

^^^
I remember the big rumor in Mario 64 was the ability to play as Luigi. People had screen caps of Mario doing something in Boo's Mansion I think that triggered the ability to get Luigi.

^yeah..i found a thing online that told how to unlock luigi in SM64. You had to get certain stars in a certain order. I did it, and then realized how stupid I was for believing it.

Tried to get this from Best Buy in White Oak on my lunch break. Wasn't able to get my hands on it.

I think the whole breaking street date thing may be only in specific locations. From talking with the people in the department it sounds like they've already received their shipment.

11/8/2007 4:43:27 PM

The woman I talk to on the phone at Best Buy in Southpoint said they had plenty. But when I got there, they wouldn't sell it to me

11/8/2007 4:48:09 PM

lol stupid fucking employees

I remember BB broke the street date on Guitar Hero (the first one). Of course, it wasn't a big hit yet, so I had no trouble on that one.

11/8/2007 4:49:35 PM

played it at gamestop today. it was really fun, gonna have to pick it up

11/8/2007 6:45:52 PM

It's official. Go to toysrus.com and browse the newspaper ad. In store only buy Super Mario Galaxy and get a free $25 gift card. It says In store tuesday by 5pm.

11/11/2007 5:44:05 PM

They have already received their shipments due to Veteran's Day

11/11/2007 5:47:06 PM

anyone know if this is supposed to be released in stores today? or is it tomorrow.

11/12/2007 8:44:17 AM

Tomorrow. Today is the "ship" date, even though most stores already have it.

11/12/2007 8:58:02 AM

Best Buy at Crabtree is already selling. Picked up my copy this morning

11/12/2007 10:38:09 AM

As someone who hasnt really been "into" a Mario game since Super Mario World (I know, I know... I tried Mario 64 but it didn't do anything for me):


This game fucking rocks!!!!

11/12/2007 12:09:33 PM

Best Buy at crabtree is selling. This game is fucking awesome.

11/12/2007 1:28:00 PM

Is Toys R Us doing that deal today or tommorrow?

11/12/2007 1:32:03 PM

11/12/2007 1:53:53 PM

the ad says tuesday

11/12/2007 6:50:58 PM

None of the stores at Crossroads are selling it, just FYI.

11/12/2007 6:57:31 PM

Just got it.

BB and Gamestop refused to sell it; the guy at Target said "it's in the case, right?" and got it for me.

11/12/2007 7:09:02 PM

i saw it in the case at walmart, but i think i'm just gonna get it tomorrow at toys r us and use the 25 dollar gift card on medal of honor.

11/12/2007 7:15:05 PM

Toys R Us told me they weren't selling them until 5 tomorrow.

11/12/2007 7:31:21 PM

^The ad says the offer only works up until 5pm...

11/12/2007 8:30:18 PM

They better not pull any bs when I get there.

11/12/2007 8:30:54 PM

ah yeah, well what do you expect from customer service reps.

11/12/2007 8:43:18 PM

This game is badass.

11/12/2007 9:51:00 PM

^

11/12/2007 10:02:45 PM

i think the controls are fun, and its overall a fun game from having only played the first level. It's very unique, yet it keeps the same playstyle as super mario 64 which i loved. Definately can't wait to play more.

49.99

FREE $25 Gift Card

11/13/2007 8:51:49 AM

I went at 9. They said the shipment isn't in yet, but will come at some unknown time before 5.

They need to get their shit together.

11/13/2007 9:59:58 AM

i have to reiterate just how good this game is. They really did it...see this is why you can't sleep on nintendo. Although honestly this is better than anything (anything) they even released on gamecube.

11/13/2007 10:00:59 AM

It is 11:34 AM and they're sold out at Toy R Us. WTF
they said the special is the whole week... if they get anymore in... (the guy laughed)

fuckers

11/13/2007 11:40:51 AM

I second Kainen's sentiment. This games is the shit!

11/13/2007 11:46:45 AM

Anybody know if any of the Crossroads stores still have them in-stock?

11/13/2007 12:03:50 PM

best buy at crabtree had plenty of copies yesterday.

11/13/2007 12:06:31 PM

ah that's pretty lame that they didnt have them at 9 and already sold out

11/13/2007 12:19:21 PM

aha we must have been there at the same time

me and my boss just went next door and got ours from best buy

they had a good number of copies, but were obviously selling quickly

11/13/2007 12:24:29 PM

I don't have a problem buying it from anywhere else. But damn. $25 would have been nice.
Gamestop is doing extra 20% for trade ins towards the purchase of Galaxy.

11/13/2007 12:28:13 PM

Well shit, reading this thread before i left would have saved me 20 minutes in my car

11/13/2007 12:47:59 PM

screw the 25 dollars, DONT DELAY GET THIS GAME TODAY.

No really, this is one of the most fun games I've played in many many years. GOTY in my opinion...granted i'm only 2 hours in but it's been some of the most fun i've ever had. Probably cracks the top mario games of all time too, it's that good.

11/13/2007 1:25:43 PM

Went over to the local Toys R Us during lunch and got my copy, there were only 3 copies left.

11/13/2007 2:16:45 PM

Got mine at the Best Buy at Crossroads around lunch time, they had probably 10 left.

11/13/2007 2:47:57 PM

Not only did I waste my time going at 9, I went at 12:30 when they were sold out. Fucking bullshit. Not only that but Target wouldn't sell to me this morning because their release day is tomorrow. wtf. People need to get their act together. Got it at Best Buy finally.

11/13/2007 3:35:00 PM

i'm so angry. just got back from toys r us. was gonna get mario and cod 4 with the 25 dollar gift certificate. of course, they were sold out.

oh, the special goes all week? all right people, let us know if you find out toys r us gets anymore this week.
