| pimpcoop said: I still feel that when Nintendo has a game that is hardcore they push it off to the side and say o well. The only people who buy it are people that actually do the research about the game. Also when you go to some video game sites that review games the users liked the game, so why don't that just get people into buying the game. I really do not know, but I do blame Nintendo for this ojne! |
From what I've heard, this game's actually had some television advertising in Europe, and plenty of television ads in Japan. So it's not like they're completely ignoring this title, or even skimping on the advertising.
That said, it's definitely received some very odd treatment from Nintendo. The lack of any news or details until a mere week or two before launch, for instance, is simply bizzare. I'd actually like a journalist to ask Nintendo about this: why did you guys choose to take this route with this game? I know they're operating on a much more secretive basis now than ever before, but why was this game kept so tightly under wraps throughout, thus neglecting the free advertising that gaming magazines and sites could offer? I'm sure they've got their reasons, and they might even be good ones, but I'm still curious to hear what comes from the horse's mouth.
