Core gamers and magazines/sites hyping NSMB Wii worries me

I think even Nintendo themselves dont want the game to be hyped they want it to be silent as possible. its the word of mouth wants to make the hype for them.

Not really. Just a few days ago Miyamoto spent like, an hour and a half or something, talking about it. Videos have been launched promoting the more hardcore side of it. They obviously want the hype, because it does work when your game is mainstream and really good. Look at SMB3 for instance.

 

 

thats what Miyamoto did in Wii Music

Wii Music was a new IP that a lot of people made fun of from its very conception, whenever any videos were shown for it, and after it was launched.  And the media panned it even before it came out as a 'casual game for non-gamers' and a 'failed experiment'.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is a game going back to Marios roots utilizing the core gameplay and concepts of most of the best Mario games of the past (Mario 2, 3, World, Galaxy and NSMB) and adds many new gameplay concepts to the mix (co-op play being the most prominant).  Plus nearly everyone, from gaming fan to critic alike, is showing interest in it.  I don't think it has any of the same stigma Wii Music had.
