That’s a lot better. I wasn’t diggin how part of the main focus was on Mario’s ass, and overall the older version wasn’t substantial enough. The logo was doing crazy things being pushed over to the left. The new one seems moreappropriate and Mario-classic-esque.

No problem guys. Just searching for the TRUTH!

That’s definitely the new box art .. Nintendo’s Press Site confirms it.
As for the new art vs old .. the one on the left is interesting, but it works better as a magazine cover than box art (see the most recent Nintendo Power).

The new one is good and all, but what’s with the phallic in the upper left hand corner?
Official Slogan?:
“Super Mario Galaxy: It’ll give you wood”

Much better.

Misinterpreted sexual innuendos aside, I’m getting more and more stoked for this game. That new cover is definitely professional caliber now, the only question is, though, will I be able to pull myself away from Metroid long enough to play Galaxy? And what about Geometry Wars? What about Phoenix Wright? What about Ninja Gaiden? What about Phantom Hourglass? What the hell am I supposed to do when Brawl comes out? I still have to work for a living you know……I love Nintendo.

I know, this thing is getting out of control, especially for the DS… Worms Open Warfare 2 is coming out today! And I’m not even past the first levels in Luminous Arc or Picross DS!

I like the new cover art and definitely look forward to the game.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on the original art indeed…

Much better! Is anyone else reminded of the Mario 64 box art?
But I will agree that the top left corner is a little disturbing

Yeah the new one is less Mario-swimsuit-moneyshot and more Mario-64-reference. I like.

Some comments from the original article on Wired…
“And yet in the new box art, it appears that he is propelled through space by milky white explosive diarrhea.”
—
“And here I thought featuring his ass was part of Nintendo’s ‘mature Mario’ movement. Maybe they’ll give him a big gun and a smooth sports car instead.”
—
“Ah, brilliant. Or rather, not brilliant. All your base are belong to us.”
I love the odd crowd of people who post on the Wired comments.
