Is Super Mario Galaxy 1 a better purchase than Shovel Knight on eshop?

Is Super Mario Galaxy 1 a better purchase than Shovel Knight on eshop?

galaxy is absolutely spectacular my man

cool, I guess I'll buy it then

How much is it right now Gus?

Galaxy 1 is 20 bucks, I'm considering waiting because they might have a sale one day

EU eShop is about to have a sale and Galaxy 2 is half price on it. There is a good chance NA may follow

Oh, I'm buying Shovel Knight then. Thanks.

Controls are fucking shit though

Why not wait a bit and see if that sale happens? You don't need these right this instant

Good idea.

pirate both, emulate SMG on dolphin. runs great.

No. Shovel Knight can't possibly be as lame and boring as galaxy. If bright colors and stars and objects with faces on them make you happy then get mario. If you actually want to play a good game go with Shovel Knight.

The game doesn't have native classic controller support though so you need a Wiimote or you need to emulate that too.

Both games are fun and challenging, but Shovel Knight I feel is a bit more memorable.

i've played it fine with my ds2.
i've assigned the swing and shake to the right analog stick, and during the few instances where you actually need the pointer i've used the mouse.
SMG2 was a bit more challenging in that regard, but i've finished that too.

>Super Mario Galaxy
>Challenging

Are you a literal retard?

No. I thought it was mediocre and I really enjoyed my time with Shovel Knight.

SMG1 and 2 are the best Mario games

>tfw no galaxy port on 3DS

Galaxy 1 and 2 will be NX mobile launch titles, book it

>I suck at mario
The camera I can let slide but controls are great

They actually tried that before 3D land, but they realized the camera made mario too little for the 3DS screen.

3D land was a product of this realization. Don't know where's the interview but i think it's a Iwata asks.
I miss them, they were so good.

Since Mario Galaxy is one of the three best games of last gen, I would say that is the better choice.

They better go the bayo route and package it with Galaxy 3

SMG is better, but physical copies of it are probably cheaper than what you'd get on eshop

i never got the hype behind shovel knight. yeah the music's cool but the gameplay is just pogo-hopping on everything. everything it presents has been done before a zillion times.

Both games are pretty good.
Wait till a sale and scoop both up, or pirate/emulate them.
Shovel Knight is pretty good once you get used to its mechanics, though the invincibility power ups can be abused tremendously to help you outrace bosses.
Mario Galaxy isn't all too hard till you beat the game. Then you get infuriating levels like that fucking Luigi Purple Coins level.

>yeah the music's cool but the gameplay is just pogo-hopping on everything.
So its just like one of the best NES platformers? Gee, I wonder why its popular...

The people who have never played galaxy yet literally missed a part of their lives.

Like, I feel sad for the people who died and will die having not played it.

Yes.

Galaxy 1 is great.

Smg1>smg2

I've only played SMG2.

Is Mario 64 a better purchase than Super Mario Galaxy?

They're about even.

No, SMG2 is the pinnacle of Mario.

It's the best, but play SMG1 too before you die.

Alright, I'm going to buy SMG today and get Shovel Knight some other day.

They are both good

64 is more about mario's complex movement while galaxy is about interesting areas

Gameplay-wise it's the Brawl of 3D mario games

See, when I finished SMG I cried. Tears. I'm not joking. That was how beautiful that game was.

Still, SMG2 is better so don't put your expactations too high.

Shovel Knight is a multiplatform game, you should get it on PC.

I didn't like how SMG2 had checkpoints so I guess I'll like the first one in different ways.

Does it ever go on Steam sales or in humble bundles?

Oh boy.
