The secrecy is getting ridiculous at times. This game releases in less than 2 weeks and we just find out it exists.

I think Nintendo relies too much on their core fans that they think advertising and hyping is not needed. But then again, they are shrinking the potential market of the core games instead, by only showing the game to a select few, kind of what happened with excitebots, to give you the most recent example. Nintendo needs to expand their traditional IPs to everyone, not just keep them secretly to their core fans.

Well in all honesty, WiiWare titles are not something that gets marketing or hype.  The vast majority of them are first known about a week before they are released or when they finally get released.

Only a select few get hyped, like Mega Man 9 or World of Goo.
