people tend to ask life's ever mysterious questions...

''why are we here?''

''what is our purpose?''

These questions have plagued mankinds brains for generations...for centuries.... and we strive every day to find out the truth behind why we are here,what our purpose really is on this earth and is there more we are meant to do besides just exist here on this planet?

We struggle with ourselves with these questions every day, but now mankind is faced with a new life riddle,one that may haunt us for the rest of our human existence and one that may forever go unsolved and be forever elusive in its answer....

''Are we a squid...Or are we a kid...now?''

It's not a game that appeals to me at all on face value but I certainly hope its a huge seller, I'll be keen to try the demo to see what the fuss is about. I hope they keep most of their marketing budget back for Xenoblade Chronicles X and Zelda U though. Xenoblade needs to be seen by as wide an audience as possible if Nintendo want to sell hardware. In fact some pre-launch teasers even now wouldn't be a bad idea.

The above views may change considerably once I've tried the game.

Before I tried Demo I was planning to buy game in some moment when I find really cheap copy, after Demo I preorder game, and later cancel preorder and decided to buy via eShop at launch. :)

For new IP with big potential that you want to succeed, you need very good and big marketing, bigger than for Xenoblade that already have fans or Zelda most famous Nintendo IP after Mario.

All their efforts will fade like tears in rain

It's the only announced Wii U release that has a chance to be something somewhat significant until Star Fox or maybe XCX (depending on which releases first), so it's really no surprise that they are putting some marketing backbone behind ot, is it?

I'd say it kind of is a surprise, given that Nintendo has let other significant Wii U releases come and go without a proper push.

Yeah, Sony has done the same, who knows maybe they are learning. Lol

But will the game sell one tenth of what Mario Kart 8 will sell lifetime? Would you give it an over or under on that?

Over, of course.
