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.

WiiWare is rather different, since WiiWare is a better place for "pandering to your base," as it were. In this case, you don't need that much more than the "core," and requisite word of mouth.

 

Though the consistent sales of that Aquarium sim suggest that there has to be some solid Expanded Audience on there.

 

On topic: This really does fulfill everything that IGN guy pointed at. We didn't ask for this, it isn't "zomg," but it is neat. Not for me, though. I've never really been into the excite franchise.
