Shigeru Miyamoto is the star of the latest "Iwata Asks" series, this time detailing Super Mario Galaxy 2.
At the beggining of the developing of Super Mario Galaxy 2, the character's creator Shigeru Miyamoto says that the game was named Super Mario Galaxy 1.5 internally to keep the pressure lower. But as the game was growing with new and interesting level designs and ways to play. New power-ups and over 90 percent of of the level design being brand new, the game became Super Mario Galaxy 2.
The original plan was to make the game in one year, similar to their development time target for Majora's Mask. However, they ended up taking two-and-a-half years. Not having to use a year to refine player movements allowed the team to create new stages and tune
Iwata/Miyamoto noticed that they hadn’t fully taken advantage of the spheres, believed new tricks/gimmicks could make something more interesting, even if an original stage formation was used
Hint TVs allow things to be explained, but hardcore gamers can skip over them, Acording to Miyamoto Super Mario Galaxy 2 is more difficult than the first, he even slam his table when playing alone late at night.

Hephaestos : ahahah! ... but do you think it can mark the table by slaming it? Did he eat a mushroom for that?
So far he's saying all the right stuff about SMG2... we'll see :)
Ebay: " Table slamed by god" $10,000
slam in the table... by Miyamoto!! AMAZING!
SMG2 to wii is like Horse shit to Rhubarb ( makes it grow ).
Can't wait for this beuty, Pre-ordered already with the metal tin, exacly the same one as NSMBWii one but with SMG2 on it instead obviously lol.
Wow, SMG2 is so tough that it made even the mighty Miyamoto slam stuff in frustration?!?
Those purple coin stages must be a real bitch in this one lol... either that, or the master's hardcore gaming skills have gotten a little rusty from playing all those casual Wii games lately... oooohhh BURN!!!
Just an internal name. Microsoft wasn't stupid enough to ship a product called 'Longhorn,' either.
I'm glad its going to be more difficult.
