I’ve always said sequels need to be able to stand on their own. I never thought that statement would force me to look on a game more favorably. Mario Galaxy 2 isn’t a startling reinvention of Mario, or even a significant improvement off its predecessor. But when the formula you have has been perfected like this, I wouldn’t change a thing either.

I’ve always stood behind Nintendo’s over-milking of their franchises. This is because they take each sequel seriously and change gameplay, plotlines, worlds and characters with every iteration. They see every title as a chance for improvement and innovation that just happens to have a built in audience. So I’m more than a little perplexed as to why they took the Wii as an opportunity to revisit the gaming dark ages.

So, do you like Mario? What about Link? Tony Hawk? I hope the answer to all is “a lot,” because you’re going to be stuck with them for a while.
