If you bought any PAL version of Super Mario Galaxy 2, then congratulations! Nintendo automatically assumes that you’re a moron! As well as featuring in-game tutorials and demonstrations, the game comes with the usual instruction manual, a shortened “pull-out” version showing the control scheme, an instructional DVD titled “Super Mario Galaxy for Beginners” and yet another manual explaining the DVD.

Kind of overkill.

This is an official translation released on Mistwalker’s website from Hironobu Sakaguchi…

“The energy poured into this project by the development team and I are 120%. I’m hoping you can understand that, however on the other hand, I feel worried and nervous like sending my child on a trip alone. Emotionally it feels like this is my last work, while pouring everything I have gotten into this project. Never regret, but now ‘I’m enjoying’; furthermore, aiming towards completion. The sense of ‘This is it relaxes my shoulders, its pleasant feeling to conduct an orchestra by the sense of my intuition.”

This doesn’t sound like a perfect translation, though there’s a critical difference from what we heard previously. It doesn’t sound like Sakaguchi intends for The Last Story to be his last project. Rather, he’s putting so much effort into it that it feels like it’s his last game.

Earlier today, Activision announced James Bond 007: Blood Stone for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and even the DS. Yet there was no mention of Nintendo’s console at all. So it’s a bit odd that an image of what appears to be the Wii boxart was found on the 007.com website. This could be nothing more than an error, though then again, it could also mean that a Wii version is in the works. Nothing has been confirmed or denied at this time, but we’ll let you know about any future developments.
