NMH didn't have any real advertising in the US at least, didn't get shown at E3 on the main stage and all the trade shows, didn't get a mention in every Nintendo press release, didn't get endless internet threads written about it, didn't get the best reviews, didn't get any bundles. Really all it got was word of mouth.

Bolded: I disagree. Thats one thing it did get. Also reviews were pretty good weren't they?

Metacritc average was 85, so decent but not high like SMG. Yes there was quite a bit a lot of talk on internet threads, about the same as Z&W maybe. I don't put too much stock in that anyways. My main point is that it didn't get any real backing from Nintendo like LBP, which pretty much got everything but the kitchen sink.

I tried to find an LBP-boosting post by thekitchensink, but I got distracted by a thread titled "LBP will be Mario killer". Beyond words ...

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Here's my two cents.

I played it for half an hour and hated it.

I played it for another hour, and now I love it.

Give the game a chance. You won't like it at first, but given time, once you get used to it, you'll think it's awesome.

You decided you hated it only only half an hour of play time?

I went into it thinking it would be a masterpiece.

Because I was trying so hard to figure out what made it so special, I didn't pick up what made it so special: It's damned fun.

And in that way, it was a masterpiece.

So, my advice to you is to go in thinking it will be an average, boring platformer

Every single LBP sale is like a needle in your spine, isn't it?
