From our front-page news:
Last week, someone struck the video game world with a video compilation of a Super Mario Galaxy game that would become available for the Nintendo DS if you completely beat the Wii version. The video was incredibly well done. The graphics were altered to look like a DS game and even contained a few items not found in the Wii version (such as the golden DS).

Sadly, according to Joystiq, the entire thing is a hoax. Their reasons make sense as well. First giveaway is that it wouldn't be that easy for a Wii to transfer an entire game like that to the DS, which doesn't contain enough on-board memory. One thing is for sure... the video creator is mighty talented.

How do we know? Well a little digging turned up an slightly shorter, more stable version of the same footage posted on video-sharing site Stage6 by user psycho3ler. If that handle sounds familiar, it might be because it belongs to Pablo Belmonte, the talented video editor behind the now-infamous Nintendo ON hoax video posted back in 2005.
