We’ve got the perfect Christmas gift for all you Wii gamers. Super Mario Galaxy turned out to be a far better game than we thought it would be. It sets off a new tradition for Mario and a new layout that introduces so many more features and offers much more fun than we are used to having from a Mario Bro. game.

Super Mario Galaxy starts off the same old way that every Mario game starts off. The evil Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach, leading Mario into new worlds to search for her. This time, Bowser transports Peach and her whole castle by using flying star ships. Thus begins Mario’s latest attempt to save her, by reaching across the galaxies, finding stars to power the space station hub of the game so he can reach Peach.

Nintendo has stated that they are in the middle of creating a newer DS model (this one being their third). It doesn’t surprise us that Nintendo is working on another model. Before upgrading to the DS, Nintendo created three different models of the hand held Gameboy Advance.

“Our contacts indicate that a refreshed DS is complete,” Wilson said on Wednesday as transcribed by GameSpot. “It is thinner (it has no GBA port), has on-board storage, and larger screens. However, we do not expect a revamped Wii or DS until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies.”
