yushire on 25 September 2008

I wonder how many people in the gas station actually bought the game?



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Nintendo's PR will save this game from flopping in America. That means it will take longer for the price to go down :(
But we may get a sequel if it sells well :D

Ya, Nintendo is getting very creative with the ads for this game. First, the super crazy youtube ad, and now this. Lots of good PR is going in to the game so far for the NA release. I hope it sells well.

 


Nope, not very creative.  Last month EA gave away free gas to promote Mercenaries 2.  And I'm pretty sure others have done things similar to the flash ad before (pretending to have a flash animation be a real webpage).

that's the news page, generally very negative message from certain users. It would be awesome if those same users come here and praise Nintendo for pulling the exact same stuns.
