November 12th in US.
Super Mario Galaxy has finally been given a confirmed release date of November 12th, Nintendo said today.

Sadly, European gamers desperate for the moustashioed plumbers next adventure face an uncertain wait to find out if the game will also make it over here in time for the festive period.
Historically, Nintendo's record for simultaneous worldwide releases has been patchy. During the Wii's launch period, European gamers suffered no delays for any of the first party titles, but so far this year we've had to endure a long wait for Super Paper Mario, while other less high profile titles have also slipped for their PAL release.
