We all knew that Super Mario Galaxy was going to be a huge game on the Nintendo Wii, but no one expected it to get these types of scores from critics as well as popularity from the consumers.
Super Mario Galaxy has 97 Metacritic points making it the highets rated next-gen game out there right now.
Super Mario Galaxy is even topping the likes of Halo 3 as well as Call of Duty 4.
The game released in Japan last week and has managed to sell over 250,000 units over there already. It is releasing in North America this week.
There have been few review scores which have given Super Mario Galaxy below a near-perfect score and this Metacritic points score proves it. Whether or not Super Mario Galaxy will be as big of a hit in retail in North America as it was with critics remains to be seen, but it surely may move some Wii units this holiday season
