What started out as faulty Dolby Pro Logic II sound has turned out to be even more embarrassing for Activision. They released a music game with only mono sound.

Super Mario Galaxy is an embarrassment. It’s an embarrassment for platform games. It’s an embarrassment for adventure games. It’s an embarrassment for Nintendo and an embarrassment for the Wii.
