I guess this means no advertising at all or perhaps even less then the little bit they might have been planning. Ugh. I really dislike this. If this wasn't going to be advertised I wasn't going to bother with it. If publishers don't think their game is worth it to advertise then it's not worth my money in the end. That's the stance I've taken. I was really looking forward to Red Steel 2. Ugh. I guess it's time to remove my preorder from Amazon until I see how things play out.

Let's see if it has advertising first. Also, imo, one shouldn't buy or not buy a game depending on whether it is advertised. Not advertising does not mean they don't believe in the game's quality, it just may mean they are stupid enough to believe what is being said by Wii detractors about Wii demographics and are afraid to lose even more money.

Buy a game if it's good, not if the publisher is smart enough to advertise or stupid enough not to.

but the question is... whose fault is it when a game isn't advertised? Most of the advertising for games are SPONSORED by the console company, Nintendo somehow seem to be above this role and leave game developers to dry. Again, whose fault is it? Is it the game companies' fault when the gamers don't know much about their games? Nintendo is fully aware of this, and is swimming in cash, is it really asking too much to put out an ad or two to some of the better-made games?

what are you talking about.  Of course it is the publisher's responsibility to advertise a game, that has nothing to do with Nintendo unless Nintendo is the publisher.
