Is this the same soundtrack the japanese version I got? I'm assuming it is, and if so man we all got kind of screwed on it. Are half the tracks really just sound effects? Because that's what it looked like from the track listing. The book is pretty sturdy though.

I haven't popped the disc into my PC yet, but that does indeed appear to be the case. The overall package is pretty underwhelming, but that horse has been beaten to death already.

So this was pretty well panned by IGN. Apparently the booklet and soundtrack are garbage, and the game itself is a straight port without a single modification of any kind. Disappointing.
Why would you want them to modify perfection?
Decent upscaling. Widescreen support or at least proper letter-boxing. Maybe swap out the images of SNES controllers and "Press A/B/X/Y" commands for wii specific images and commands.
ORRrrrrrr...
Use the NSMB Wii engine to remake SMB1/2/3/USA for an all new Super Mario All-Stars. Not that I ever expected this to happen but it would have been pretty sweet.
I would edit the disc to remove Yoshi's Island if they added it. I have never liked that game and never will.
I like Yoshi's Island DS better, but then again, I haven't gotten around to playing Yoshi's Island the way I should, and I have completed most of YIDS (I should really go back to playing it).
I don't know how one can enjoy regular Mario games without enjoying a game as good as Yoshi's Island, but to each their own.
I mean, I enjoy Yoshi's Island. It's a solid game. I just enjoy it far less than I do SMB3 or SMW and (gorgeous art direction aside) fail to see why people consistently deify it as one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made.

Never liked the way it looked or sounded, stars 3 of the least appealing characters Nintendo has ever conceived (Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Bowser), and unless I'm mistaken, the entire game is an escort mission.

I never did play through much of it though.
It may be an escort mission, but Baby Mario doesn't get in the way like those dumb characters from FPS games (fuck you, Retro, for ruining that part of Metroid Prime 3), you just need to carry him all the time, which is comparable to trying to stay as Super Mario the whole level.
At first I didn't like the idea of collecting the little Stars (let's be honest, it's a fucking chore), but you can exploit eggs to their maximum capacity in order to obtain the required number of them per stage.

Oh snap, another person with my opinion.
Yeah, I just never could get into it. The SNES version feels unwieldy, like they were trying to do to much for its time. Aiming eggs would work far better on modern systems now that we have screen pointers. As it is, it just makes it a slow game, constantly pausing to toss eggs. I can play it but I'd much rather be playing other games.
but Galaxy 2 took that game, streamlined it, and cranked the difficulty way the fuck up
so as far as I'm personally concerned it exceeds the original in every way
it might be my favorite Mario game
Don't get me wrong, I love Galaxy 2. In particular, though, I love the stuff which is unique to Galaxy 2-- Cloud Suit, Rock Suit, Yoshi, stuff like that, plus galaxies like the giant one, or the boss you fight with fireballs.
I'm not a huge fan of intense difficulty, though, mostly as I'm prone to displaying a rather foul temper after a while.
But if I just wanted to mess around for a few with a Galaxy experience, not necessarily do a whole playthrough, I would probably sooner pick the first, unless I wanted to do something noted above.
There are just a lot of things I like about the first, some being simple aesthetic or mere personal preference. I love the Toad Town star festival and the Comet Observatory. I like Rosalina, and I like to just fly around with the Red Star, even if its use is extremely limited.
I'm a fan of Mario at night, and it seemed like there was more starry than blue sky in the first game.
I like some of the levels and bosses, like Megaleg. Much as I like Gobblegut the dragon, I'm almost equally annoyed by him thanks to his body getting between Mario and the camera.
I actually like the Bowser battles in Galaxy a little more, as they seem to escalate. The final battle is epic, and I don't think the final battle of Galaxy 2 felt as climactic. If memory serves, it felt like it was over too soon by comparison.
And I liked the few cut scenes/ending bits in SMG more than the sequel, which I imagine had something to do with Miyamoto flipping tables and whatnot after the first.
But don't get me wrong, I really like SMG2 as well. I guess in a way, it's like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World with me, in a "well, which one do you feel like today?" sort of way.

SMW2 always felt like an even bigger collectathon than DK64 to me tbh

Except you can play through almost every single level in the game without collecting a single thing

How does this prove him wrong? I thought you could do this in pretty much every collectathon.
I never played Donkey Kong 64 but in "collectathons" like Banjo-Kazooie, you had to collect a certain number of items to progress in the game. Without the proper number of music notes, for example, you couldn't open certain doors to get to the later stages of the game.
In Yoshi's Island you had Stars, Red Coins, and Flowers to collect, but none of it was required for you to actually finish the game, it was simply a secondary goal that some could strive for if they wished to do so.
don't you need the bananas and shit to unlock pathways in DK64
Don't you need eggs and shit to unlock paths through the levels in SMW2?
by "collectathon" I assumed he meant the coins and flowers and stars
especially considering that the eggs are a by-product of defeating enemies
That's exactly what a collect-athon is. I'm not sure what the fuck Sporky is thinking about. If that were the case, then everything is a collect-athon.
The banjo games really started the too much damn shit tradition, DK 64 is just the worst of it, though SFA gets a special place in hell for the names of the stupid items you have to collect.
So did this actually come out yesterday, or are stores holding it until tomorrow? I dropped by Walmart on my way home from work and it was nowhere to be found.
It came out yesterday, although one of my stores said "It's out on the dock in a box and it's physically impossible for us to get to it today." So I said bullshit to that and got it at a different K-Mart so I could get my coupon.

I wasn't interested in it initially but I might grab a copy if I see one while I'm out and about today just for collector's sake.

the banjo games are awesome
DK64 only gets hated on because there's a ridiculous number of things you have to collect to proceed through it

SMW2 was way worse than DKC3.
It's really not that much of a hassle to 103% DKC3.

That's what I said :P
I don't know why, but I didn't enjoy Banjo-Kazooie, but I loved DK64.

There is no retrospective DVD
Huh, I thought that thing with the NES on the cover was a DVD retrospective. Didn't they say they were gonna include something of the sorts?
