Super Mario Galaxy - gameplay

I've just watched this gameplay footage for the second time.

What a fabulous looking game!

What great fun!

This is going straight to the top of my most wanted list. Sod those story games if there is fun like this out there. :)

It's weird because I've never been particularly drawn to Mario games in the past, but I can't believe how cool and fun this game looks. Have I been missing out on something great all this time?

WiiWare

Over at the Develop site there's recently been posted a report on Nintendo's WiiWare. This must be the coolest idea for a long time. Mr. Smoozles Goes Wii, anyone? :)

Now, if I could just find where I can get hold of the right tools...
