Miyamoto: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Is For "Veteran Gamers"

If you thought Super Mario Galaxy was a bit on the easy side, this news might please you. According to Miyamoto, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be geared towards "veteran and more experienced gamers" moreso than the first game was.

Well that's certainly an ambiguous statement. Just what is that supposed to mean?

I thought the difficulty level for the first game was just right. I think, playing a Mario game, you should always feel like you can complete the objective, but that it may take several times to do. The decision to include enough 1-Ups so that you didn't have to continue and start a level from the very beginning again after beating it made the game accessible. For the gamers wanting a challenge, you could go after every single star in the game and then play through again as Luigi. If this is what Miyamoto is talking about, but adding harder bonus stars rather than difficult ones as a part of the main game, I'm all for it.

I'm all for a harder game, but glxy 1 got pretty challenging at points if you were trying for all the stars. I'd like to see a Mario game have something like an insane mode unlocked afterwards. Make the narrow pathways more narrow, make enemies cause more damage. That's what I would like.

Thats nice, but does he mean it when he says it will be for the hardcore crowd?

I may not mean anything, they're just words. I don't doubt it will be a good game though.

I don't really care, just as long as they don't make too hard to the point that it can frustrate me.

Best news ever
