Wii #XXXX - Super Mario Galaxy 2 (USA)

[YayMii]

Now anyone know whats up with it being SMG more?

It was originally going to be an SMG1 expansion.

I think what most people want to know is if it works on Wiikey 1 without a loader... for those of us that just skipped NSMB Wii... I'm gonna burn it and find out.

ok, keep us informed!
Thanks

Okay I just tried the scrubbed version... ran it through brickblocker first. The title shows up in the disc menu but when I try to load the game I get the blue error #002 screen... so assume that this does not work on Wiikey 1 without soft modding... between this and Metroid I guess I should break down and finally get gecko or whatever...

Just softmod (it's easy and there's guides EVERYWHERE), modchips just aren't worth it anymore

god, no never!
Just wait for an update of your chip or buy a new one, if your old one is not supported anymore (á la wiikey I etc)
d2sun( I got one for 19€!), wasabi, wode are all getting an update.

Soft modding makes more sense to me than to pay someone to rip out the chip and install a new one that the creators might just decide on not supporting anymore. I followed this guide and now it plays perfectly- http://www.youtube.com/user/HackMyWii

I'm enjoying my "faceship"

Something about Mario just makes me smile like a little kid again... incredibly fun game so far.

God thanks, this is a free world

I would never touch my wii with any softmod, forums are full of bricks and problems of installing xyz and ios and bla blub..lol, everygame has different loaders and ios and options etc.
I'm waiting for my d2sun update, which will come for sure.
anyways, as I said, probably you're right..its at least a cheaper way and the fastest to play new games.

Back to topic.

Im really suprised GBATemp is still going this fast after this release. Usually with big ones like this the site slows down to a dead mans crawl.

For those who have already started playing the game, how do you save your progress? I know with The New Super Mario Bros Wii you and to go to a certain point in order to save the game but how about with this game..how do you save your progress? I don't want to play some of the game, turn it off to play better then turn it back on to find out that I have to start from the beginning since I did not save it right

 

[kedest]

wow, so no copy protection eh
nintendo must have given up.

It auto saves after you get a star. You can also press the - or + button and save (I forget which). It will say 'Save and Quit'.

 

[YayMii]

Yeah, press + to pause, and in the pause menu, there's a 'Save and Quit' option. If you click it, it'll prompt you twice (once for saving, once for quitting, so you can save without quitting).

Cool thanks so much. Does this game require the use of the nunchuck or is it just the wimote? I am not used to the nunchuck so if that is involved I guess I gotta learn how to do it LOL
The one that I downloaded this morning, the file name was Super Mario Galaxy 2 and when I went to WiU 1.1 it said it was called Super Mario Galaxy MORE..just want to make sure that the one I burned is the full complete game..would be a shame for me to start playing a game that stops working after a few worlds

This was noted earlier. WBFS Managers read the title as Super Mario Galaxy More.
Yes, you do need a nunchuck to play this game. What hav you been playing on your Wii that doesn't require a nunchuck??

 

[Dermy]

I opened this release up in wiiscrubber 1.40 and it doesn't have an update partition. Can someone confirm that it this release only has a game partition? I always thought that all full dumps had an update partition whether the game had an update or not.

Many games..New Super Mario Bros Wii for one..some games that I have require the nunchuck it just takes me some time to get used to it. I am used to just 1 controller and thats it. I am charging up my Wii motes now so that I can play this :-)

 

[lizard81288]

so does it work with ULoader and Neogamma, with a burnt disk?

 

[WiiThoko]

Done downloading, but my brother's watching TV right now...FFFUUU (The same TV my Wii is connected to)

 

[Lubbo]

No, SMG2 is a retelling of SMG, but with new content....well, thats what IGN said in their review

They always do
Like i said last night. This just seems to be same release as before, repacked with no compression, its not 1:1, its got some test level folders etc..

The (really small) story in SMG2 isn't connected to SMG1.

 

[C175R]

wow i just found out this one came out early

and it works

I wasn't expecting an early release of these one after what happened to the dude of NSMB Wii but I guess ppl will still do it? anyways HEEEELLL YES!!

 

[nasune]

So I just finished it (watching ending credits right now), and I must say 'tis a nice game but I am somewhat disseappointed by its shortness and easy difficulty. Doeas anyone else feel the same way?
