Super Mario Galaxy probably should have been on the list of my top 10 video games of all-time.  Even though it got left off the list, the fact is that I love Super Mario Galaxy to death and much, much more than Super Mario 64, which many people consider to be the most groundbreaking video game of all time, if not the greatest ever.

So, it should be no surprise that I’m pumped beyond belief for Super Mario Galaxy 2  - release date just announced to be May 23rd.  The only problem is that Nintendo is pretty infamous for delaying games over and over again, claiming that they are supremely dedicated to delivering the highest quality product they possibly can.  The only problem is that people (like me) get impatient when a game announced to be released in January doesn’t see the light of day until August or worse.  We’ll see how this one goes.

With that being said, Nintendo is looking at a pretty active middle of the year.  Not only do they have a new Mario game coming out, but they also have Metroid: Other M on deck with a release date in June.  And to boot, top men at Nintendo have also said that they expect a new Zelda to be released in 2010, as well.  Hopefully all of these will be released on their set days.  Until then, just know that I’m super pumped for each and every one of those titles.

Here’s the brand new trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2.
