As I am sure many of you already knew, Nintendo is developing a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy, calling it Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Creative, I know

)
Here is the trailer:
In an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto said that the game will be less plot-oriented than the first. The first game wasn't unique plot-oriented than any other Mario game. It was "Save the princess" once again. True, Rosalina did have background story (which I loved), but nothing more plot worthy. And now this game will have LESS of that. It's safe to say that Princess Peach will, once again, be kidnapped.
This irks me very much. When I play a game, I want to be captivated by the plot as well as maintaining fun value. Mario games have the potential for this. Miyamoto fears that plot will take away the fun value. Personally, when there is a plot, I feel much more connected to the game (Rosalina's storybook and the sheer fun of SMG are in harmony). When there is NO plot, I feel as if what I am doing in the game is pointless, because there is nothing being solved by going through this fun trouble.
What do you guys think?
Personally, I REALLY hope there is more plot than Miyamoto is letting on to believe.
