Nintendo Power sent me a video tape of DKC before it came out. Commercials, ads, and merchandise for DKC were everywhere in '94. There was a DKC CGI tv show. With Halo level hype, DK was an unstoppable juggernaut. I bought it. I loved it. I didn't buy Yoshi until two years after it came out. A few hours in, it hit me- HOLY SHIT, THIS GAME IS GOOD!
Nintendo needs to make it's games into big time events again. There is no reason why EVERYONE shouldn't be frothing for Metroid Prime 3, Zelda TP, or SMGalaxy. Everyone should have bought Yoshi's Island. Nintendo has the money now. Now bring on the marketing! "Wii would like to play" isn't the way to go for EVERY game.
