[QUOTE="Darthmatt"][QUOTE="Hoffgod"]

[QUOTE="Darthmatt"]I'm worried that nintendo isnt even promoting the game.sps9

That is concerning, paired with the rumors that it'll only be shipped in limited quantities at first. Then again, I'm sure there's a rationale behind it. I just have no idea what it is.

Its odd. What concerns me in this situation is they have a chance to actually appeal to the hardcore crowd and they are acting like the game doesnt exist. But then some home fitness game is the heart of their e3 presentation. nintendo is looking more and more out of touch lately.

more out of touch with what?

the point of any company is to try to sell its product. nintendo is doing that better than any videogame company on the market right now.

technically they are more IN touch with the only thing that matters - the consumer

Out of touch with me. I've been buying nintendo since 1988, heck, I never even owned a play-station product. But I am seeing fewer and fewer games on wii that I want aside from the franchise staples like Marios, zelda and metroid. Kudos to nintendo for selling millions of units, its great because it will give them more flexibility in the future, but there hasn't been a wii game I wanted to buy in months. I understand why they are putting so much into the casual market, but maybe a little too much IMO.

but how they are going to sell it without advertising it"

ONce again you dont need to adversite every freaking single game coming out :|

gamer0100

no you are totally right, you can't advertise every game you sell, but at least you should advertise your strongest game of the year

mp3 is not the strogets game that ssbb and mario glaxey

Even more reason to advertise the hell out of it since its not as strong a franchise as Mario or SSB.

now your your twsing what you said.

I never said Metroid was stronger than Marios or SSB. I've been saying this whole time that nintendo isnt marketing metroid very well because its not uber casual. Its also one of their few games that isnt rate E.


Listen im gonna lay the reality right here for yall you guys can then argue about it because BOTH of you are wrong in some ways.

Darthmatt chill out, you cant argue with the fact that they are focusing on the expanded market. No this isnt a bad thing at all. Nintendo will eventually find balance between all markets. Trust me on that one. They promote games that arent as hyped or known for a reason. To get casuals and the expanded market aware of such games. They know the expanded market watches tv. They gonna advertise cooking mama and mario party. But it doesnt mean they wont advertise games like Mario Strikers and Super Paper Mario. So now that you understand that TRUST ME and QUOTE ME on this. You will see an advertisement on tv once Metroid's date in at the most a week away. Once its released you should see some advertisements on tv and other places.

Now check this out and tell me if this makes sense. Dont u think Nintendo thought that people who look online and keep up to date with gaming news will know about metroid. And those are the people who ae gonna want to buy the game. Also the audience who will fill up most of there sales. Since this is the third game of the series, people would have known about the other two and want to buy this, thus huge advertisement isnt nessesary.



I totally understand what nintendo is doing here with their casual focus. Yeah I know, most people who like this serries already know about it. But is word of mouth enough? And why limit themselves when they could really branch out the serries? Do you think MS is going to sit on halo3 because its already popular? No, they want to get as many Halo virgins to buy that game. Maybe nintnedo doesnt want to throw down right before the halo launch, maybe they don't think its worth it at all since they seem to be focusing on the E for everyone crowd. They haven't even developed a game specific website for Metroid Prime 3. To me it says nintendo isn't trying very hard.

[QUOTE="alexin_05"]an smart move will be to delay the game 'till september so they can fix any small details of the game and so they could do an appropiate advertising work of it, and even better to compete with the halo 3 release together with mario galaxyMetalContra

good idea, or they could release the game as planed, and save the their marketing efforts for when Halo 3 comes out.

Good theory actually. Or the T rating may be causing issues in the nintendo marketing dept.

[QUOTE="Darthmatt"][QUOTE="wavebrid"]

"Dude, I never wrote anything that deserved my getting flamed in the first place. I'm just stating the obvious fact that nintendo is avoiding this game on a marketing side. Go to the wii forum if you want to flame anyone talking negative about nintendo. BTW, I'm wearing a nintendo T-shirt today, so all you've said about me being a nintendo hater is bunk. "

so i can were a sony-t shrit and still hate sony?

and i never said you hated nintendo :| i just said your acting like cows,lemmings and hermits.

Im not flaming you. your told me 1. to take of mario sungglasees

2. dont take anger pills anymore?

.... yea alright im really flaming you :roll:

b1. how your not even epxling your dang wrong :|

MetalContra

I was trying to use benign comments rather than saying things that could get me suspended. Its called being civil. Nintendo isnt promoting metroid prime 3 as much as more casual games that are still many month away. Sorry if you think thats nintendo hating, but its whats going on.

So maybe they are not trying to get the avid gamers right now. Once the Wii supply catches up with demand they will start heavier marketing for games like Metroid Prime 3. Also I bet we start to see Metroid commercails sometime soon.

Who knows. They dont even have any pictures on the nintendo.com Metroid prime 3 game space. Strange.
