Earlier today during a keynote Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that Super Mario Galaxy would be coming out this year.

Miyamoto said that Super Mario Galaxy explores some of the things first seen in Mario 128. The brief video he played, showed Mario flying through the air, running around small planets and other rotating surfaces and climbing vines from one planet to another, with the gravity flipping as he changed locations.

He ended that part of his speech by saying: "You'll be able to play Super Mario Galaxy this year."
