Starts two weeks before game launch, I don't know if it's enought time.

This kicks off two weeks before Other M’s release and will run for a full month across a range of terrestrial and satellite channels.

A complementary online campaign will coincide with the TV activity, with various banners and other rich media ads running across selected gaming destinations.

Bowling here, get your bowling!

You always have the best pics for your threads

very nice!

I saw a big poster for Other M at my local Walmart yesterday already.

Good that Nintendo is pushing it, I think if advertised enough it could break 800k sold in Japan

Uhm 300k would be already a lot for a Metroid in Japan! But it has elements to sell well: 2d/3d gameplay, huge story, marketing push by Nintendo, few Wii games before it. Really if it doesn't sell 200k Japan will have disappinted me.

I always think the First person perspectives and relatively unknown western developer has hindered the Metroid Prime games in Japan.

I honestly think that if Nintendo push the fact that team Ninja is partly developing the game, the game could sell well. 800k is a lot, but not possible.

Shit, just looked up how much past Team Ninja games such as DoA or NJ have sold, I was under the illusion it was quite well, but it isn't anywhere near that.

On second thought, Other M wouldn't go near 800k in Japan.

LOL@Homer Marketing

all they have to do is show pictures of hot samus and sales will sky rocket.

I knew Nintendo would do this! I had/have optimism of Metroid: Other M surpassing Metroid Prime's sales.
