The hard part is just about over, and the developers have done their job making a game that is so aesthetically pleasing that it is making people second guess just how powerful the Wii U is. Nintendo magic is what they call it. They have been squeezing blood from stones for years so it really isn't a surprise, at least to me, on how good this game looks. It has especially made me excited to see the finished product of Smash Bros, and I would give my left nut for a glimpse of Zelda U! All this being said it really doesn't matter how good the game looks if Nintendo doesn't show it off to the world in big fashion. Wii U marketing has been anemic at best, and this has to change starting with Mario Kart 8. They need to shove this down people's throats like Ron Jeremy in a 80's style porno. They need a blitzkrieg advertising campaign like they haven't had in years, and as many tie ins as they can possibly muster. I want to go to bed thinking about Mario Kart, and wake up with morning wood from having dreamt about it all night! This is, quite possibly, the last line of defense to save the Wii U from complete obscurity. God save the Queen, and God bless America, but thank God for Nintendo!
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
Shigeru Miyamoto
