Oh, I see. I just noticed the "where the hell is the hype for this" part of your post. 
Well I guess it's typical Nintendo. A Mario platformer game doesn't need any introduction, you press one button to jump and that's about all you need to know. For their other games, well they like to keep secrets (Twilight Princess comes to mind. What, they only had that E3 trailer!). Reminds me of FFXIII. Squeenix only showed that same part over and over in all the trailers until a week before the Japanese launch trailer...
In a way, I like it better when I'm not spoiled much. Especially with how easy it is to communicate and share things on the Internet nowadays...
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
