Who's it for?

It's simple.

Nintendo fans who have been playing since the Famicom.

It's for the hardest of the hardcore Nintendo fan.

Not that "Hardcore" gamer... but the guy who had the Famicom system (not NES) and grew up on those weird but awesome games.

You can tell because nearly all the characters are from little known Nintendo games... a lot of which never left japan.

It was basically a big gesture (all beit low budget) to give thanks to the Japanese fans who have stuck with Nintendo all aong, or at least are coming back to the Wii since the NES days.

It's about as close to a game made simply for the fans as you'll get.

Well outside of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

^^^This is probably the closest explanation I would give. @ OP what exactly WERE you expecting from Capt'n Rainbow?

...I think the ad strategy my Nintendo is hit or miss being too early to call. ...With Mario Super Sluggers they did the same and it garnered 4th place this week in the US. It looks like they intend to rectify the need for interweb "buzz" by advertising. I don't think Warioland gaining sales is due to lack of games available as sales show other Wii games sale as well. I'm quite sure Warioland once released here will get a good ad campaign as well.

 



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
