Okay, we all know that Super Mario Galaxy is a super kickin’ fun game for kids (adults too) – why is the Super Mario Galaxy on Wii so special?
Well, first here’s a bit of info about the game itself: The Mario Galaxy game has been one of the hottest-selling video games over the last couple of years – period, and for a good reason – it’s extremely entertaining for kids!
The game takes on a familiar theme of Mario traveling about, conquering some (rather non-scary) enemies to gather stars needed to save the beautiful Princess Peach from the evil (and also not so scary) Bowser. But – this is a “no gravity” Mario, which makes the game much more interesting and most definitely unique from the other Mario video games.
Why Super Mario Galaxy on Wii is so special: Part of the answer lies in the magic of the Wii remote. Players can not just press buttons, but can swing the remote and use various motions to move things along and break the “norm” for video game playing. (This type of playing can also be done with the Wii Nunchuk controller.) The remote can also be used to point and drag things on the screen. In short, the Wii version of the game offers quite a bit more flexibility in terms of variety of game play.
Cost Information: Retail price for Super Mario Galaxy on Wii is around $50, but there are a few resources online where shoppers can cash in on some nice discounts – sometimes even for about half the price – or less.
