Remember Duludubi Star, the Super Mario Galaxy ripoff we told you guys about last month? Well, now we have some footage to share with you. Over 10 minutes of it, actually. It really is unbelievable how much this game resembles Galaxy, from the levels to the gameplay.
Thanks to John for the news tip!

Should old acquaintance be forgot? We can’t remember. But what we can remember is that this week’s downloadable lineup from Nintendo asks a lot of questions. The Nintendo DSiWare™ service wonders if you can master missiles with Trajectile™, lead animals to their proper pens with Animal Puzzle Adventure or match wits with TV chef Gordon Ramsay in Hell’s Kitchen Vs. The WiiWare™ service puts you in charge of maximizing your rubber duckie output with Heron: Steam Machine, asks you to aim for the bull’s-eye with Pub Darts and wonders if you have an itchy trigger finger with Fast Draw Showdown. Finally, Final Fight™ 3 on the Virtual Console™ service makes you wonder if the fight is ever really final.

This is another snippet responding from Constantine Hantzopoulos on the most recent 4 Guys 1UP podcast. Hantzopoulos was asked if he would be interested in Wii HD (from a developer’s standpoint) and also whether he thinks Nintendo would want it. He indicates that while he isn’t sure what Nintendo’s game plan is, he acknowledges that profits are down for the company and instead could decide to lower the price of the Wii.
“The interesting thing is Nintendo, they make money off of every console they sell. I think one of the big things that we found out is it really is a mass market product where mom or whoever goes out, the 80% of the people out there who go out and buy a Wii box are happy with Wii Sports and they don’t really need another game. Or if they do need another game, they’ll buy Wii Resort because it comes with a free Wiimote or Wii Play…So, honestly I don’t know…You can obviously see that profits are down for Nintendo. I think the Wii is on its tail slide, unless they drop the price to like 80 bucks then you’ll start seeing it flying off the shelves. And I believe they’ll still make money if they drop it to 80 bucks…Point being is they have the ability to lower the price on the Wii […] where Sony and Microsoft cannot do that.”
