Dedicated fans developing Super Mario Galaxy 2.5
It turns out there’s room in this vast universe for more than two Mario Galaxy games, as a group of aspiring level designers is currently developing a fan game entitled Super Mario Galaxy 2.5.
It appears to be a work in progress at this point, as the development team is currently looking for more designers to join its merry band. That and the game looks a bit rough around the edges at some points.
Here’s the reveal trailer the group put out yesterday:
Like I said, it’s a bit rough around the edges in some places, but it looks pretty cool for a data hack. I especially like the nods to Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Mario 3D Land. Oh and the promise of Co-Op is rather intriguing as well (we kneed more Weegie!), so good luck to them and hopefully Nintendo won’t shut the project down.

When I read the title I thought it was in 2.5D, good to know I was wrong.

Why do fan groups always show these demos halfway through their work? Awesome way to go from "NO chance of being shut down" to "RELATIVELY SIGNIFICANT CHANCE of being shut down"... Just saying.... Chrono Resurrection, Streets of Rage Remake, Pokenet, The Hero of Time (Zelda fan film).... I'm certainly not one to judge right or wrong.. (those are subjective concepts anyway) but, if, IF you are gonna build something with another company's IP, might be a good idea to keep it on the DL until it's ready to DL...

hmm...if you're talking about the Hero of Time film IGN showcased about 2 years ago. Nintendo didn't shut down anything! It was an April Fools Joke. =P

Nintendo needs to make this an official game! :D

I am usually against fan games. They sorta confuse the real projects from the cannon series with something else that could've been done, but never was, and would've been cool. And the fact that it's not officially licenced. But holy fuck this looks badass.

I'm the samw way as you, but soon as i saw Bomb-omb Battlefield, i need to play this. Galaxy 2 is may favorite performer this generation, if not of all time.
