Tatanga invades Super Mario Galaxy 2
Tatanga (A.K.A. Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman) is an alien invader who once conquered Sarasaland. Although he is acknowledged as an invader, in appearance he looks like a meek purple alien.

Yet according to a Nintendo press release ea...

YouTube Tuesday: When Queen Meets Mario Galaxy
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOh968qao74[/youtube] This is a surprisingly good mix, I would have never thought to combine Queen and Super Mario Galaxy. This makes me wonder what other songs could mix well with other various Nintendo games and characters? Anyone got any ideas?
Miyamoto: Galaxy was “conservative,” Twilight Princess was “missing something”
Super Mario Galaxy played it safe, and Twilight Princess was missing what makes Zelda games special. Or so says their creator.

Super Mario Galaxy Review
Super Mario Galaxy, the title we’ve been waiting on for what seems like a lifetime has finally reached our greedy, little gamer hands. And boy was it worth it. Galaxy holds quality that both brings us back to why games are fun, and sets the bar for technical know-how. Though even through all that, Galaxy isn’t a completely perfect title (but what is?). That being said, the time fo...
Super Mario Galaxy takes #1 spot – Game Rankings
No, you’re not seeing things. As of 12.00 a.m. this morning, Super Mario Galaxy surpassed The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the number one position on gamerankings.com. This is like…big. Ocarina of Time has pwned the charts for the past 9 years and Galaxy takes the top title within one week of release. It just goes to show the amount of quality and skill that Nintendo puts into t...
