NXpress Nintendo Podcast #24: A look back at ‘Super Mario Galaxy 2’
I think we can all agree that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an outstanding game. It never rests on its laurels for a second, and while it began as an expansion pack for Super Mario Galaxy 1, Nintendo did a fabulous job in turning it into an exciting sequel. This week, we continue our Super Mario marathon and find ourselves arguing over which of the two games is better. But first, we discuss our problems with Super Mario Maker and what we hope Nintendo will add, and/or fix. Ending the show is a discussion of Star Fox Zero and why Nintendo delayed the release of the game after making it their number one priority at E3. All this and more.
