Super Mario Bros. 3 IMO.

Most people don't remember that far back though. ^_^

Halo 3 is definitely the runner-up.

Oooh, good call. I forgot about SMB3. The ramp up for that game was crazy, though it didn't have the mass market budgeting of Halo. You couldn't take a crap without having Halo shoved down your throat in September.

But relatively speaking, for its time SMB3 was crazy-hyped.

oh I remember, they had a movie promoting SMB 3

You can't beat him!

He has the POWER GLOVE!!!

I didn't see that much of anything for Halo 3 in the UK, just standard game marketing (the diarama advert), less than even Brain Training. But it sounds like it was crazy in the US.

I live in the UK too, didnt realise it was advertised that much in the US, all the UK got was that warhammer like ad, and frankly im glad.

Yeah, in the US Halo 3 hype was stupid insane. I mean, how DOES the Master Chief chug Mountain Dew during a war?

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

"I love the power glove, its so bad"

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Based on the tv ads, soft drink promotions, food promotions, radio ads, ads in various retialers, and nearly every website.

Halo 3 by a sizable margin.

I have seen no ads of any kind for ssbb. Only video on web. This might be a better questions as we actually approach ssbb release date.

Is it weird that I never saw any of these ads? Well, I saw one ad on the Internet. But that is it and I AM BEING SERIOUS!!!!!
