Forums - Nintendo - Dewey moved up to the 18th of September

kn on 17 September 2007

According to IGN, dewey has been moved up a week to tomorrow.  Good thing because it was previously scheduled for the 25th and I wasn't going anywhere near a gamestop on the 25th.  (Halo 3 day)...

MySims is out on the same day... My daughter wants it by my official boycott of EA still stands.  I'll buy it used when someone finally returns it so they don't get any revenue from it.

Sweet! I've been waiting for this game for a while though sadly it will be yet another thing to distract me from getting around to finishing Metroid (only about 6-7 hours into it >_>).

(crickets chirp)

But seriously, this game actually does look pretty good. I hope it fairs better in the states and Europe than it did in Japan. Anyone seen advertising for it?



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Advertising? Are you serious, you realize this is a Konami game on a Nintendo platform right? I mean Nintendo footed the bill for MGS:TS and still Konami didn't adverstise it.

This is the only thing I have heard about Dewey's Adventure

http://www.infendo.com/wii/dewys-adventure-contest-adds-water-weight/

Those of you thirsting for Dewy’s Adventure can add to your fervor with a new contest from Konami and Nestle today. Best part? It’s healthy. And it’s for the children, so really you have no choice but to enter. Just be sure to schedule your increased number of bathroom breaks accordingly.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. and Nestle Waters North America Inc. will provide a positive “Green” and health message to children this fall with a promotional partnership surrounding the highly anticipated release of Dewy’s Adventure for the Wii home video game system and the popular Nestle Waters’ beverage option for kids, Aquapod Natural Spring Water. Through the partnership, Aquapod will administer a national contest and sweepstakes offering consumers a chance to win an exciting rain forest/eco-adventure to exotic Costa Rica along with other fabulous prizes, including copies of Dewy’s Adventure. The sweepstakes will run from September 12th through November 30th.

If you’re into this title (I’ve heard it’s hit or miss, but I’ve been wrong about a lot of things so…), then get drinking.


Not much advertising, IMO.

Japan Deja-vu? Almost 99% certain.

Dewey Advertising with Nestle Water

I went to pre order the game today hoping there would be some Dewey plushes left (wasn't any) and they told me the game was coming out next week the day after Halo. ;_; -edit- Whoops, missed Segata's post somehow (bad posting day for me >_>).

kn, if you want MySims, why don't you just buy it? Boycotting EA is stupid...if the good games like MySims don't give them profit, they're just gonna keep churning out the crap that does.

You people better buy Spore and other good EA games, because that tells them that there's a market for such games...maybe they could...improve...?

Anyway...Dewy looks fun...it hasn't convinced me to spend $50 on it sadly...just a rental right now...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Really looking forward to the EU release.

I called two different gamestops and got two answers.  One said it "ships tomorrow" and is in-store on the 19th and the other said "not sure".  I'll call later for another update but if it is tomorrow, it should be in the back of the store...  This is my local no BS gamestop manager (kidding, take it in stride, TW) and she said that yep, it was updated in the system as the 19th, but they haven't gone through all the boxes yet and to confirm later in the day if it is, in fact, in one of the boxes.

Well the Gamestop I went to today was the first time I've ever gone to that one so it could be one of the corrupt ones.
