It isn't getting as much advertisement as the first one was.

I disagree; sure it is not as "mainstream" as Halo but for those who played the others would really be disappointed cuz these are some of the best Nintendo games to come out in a long time. MP3 looks like it could top them all!

Rofl I take it you haven't played or spoken to anyone who's played a Metroid game then(particularly Prime1 and Super Metroid).

Even if it may not be getting as much hype as some of the other Metroid Prime games I am REALLY looking forward to it.

The other 2 were awsome and being able to go through another game with the Wii controllers is gonna be exponentially more fun the on the GC.

Oh and edd678, you fail because Metroid Prime makes up an enormous part of the Nintendo market and if it were ever to be in a position where Samus was to be phased out of existance, it wouldn't go without an apocalyptic battle.

But in any case the lack of MP3 hype is probably cause they haven't put out a release date yet or that it is too early for alot of hype... I dunno... (correct me if I am wrong, i'm not sure if there is a release date or not).

Well of course not. The first one was hyped so heavily so people would know about the game, but by the third installment most people already know the games in the Metroidseries and knowhow good they are, especially the Prime games. A lot of people are already going to buy it, and other people will either overhear conversations about it, read it in a magazine, or play it at a friendshouse and then they willbuy it.

Nintendo without Metroid is like microsoft without halo, or PS1 without Crash bandicout. NES and SNES and N64 all had mario games as the primary game, GC had Luigi as the primary character, Wii had Zelda (The big games upon release)... I wouldn't doubt that one of the future consoles will be launched along a new Metroid game at some point. The metroid series is one of the big 3 for nintendo. Mario, zelda, metroid.

I personally don't think it's getting enough hype. Looks like a great game. I've already preordered it. I think the thing is that Nintendo is spending all their advertising dollars on hyping SSBB and SMG.

I honestly don't think Nintendo is hyping this game as much as it needs to be. I work at an EB Games and there's only one preorder for Metroid Prime 3... That would be me.

Yes that may be the case on here but in the real world it isn't I'm in Scotland and I don't know anyone else who has even played prime (although bizzarly there is a poster in the ladies toilet in work of Metroit for the Game Boy).

Nintendo seriously need to step it up a notch and start advertising it a lot more the only adverts I have seen is for wii sports and the Mii channel!! (why the feel the need to advertize the Mii channel is beyond me!!)

Well I may sound dumb saying this.. but for the longest time I thought people Ment Mario Party 3 and not Metroid Prime 3... but lol anyway, people have been wanting a good Fps on the Wii, and I think Metroid Prime will be that good Fps on the Wii that everyone has been waiting for.

Not at all. Even at nintendo.com, the MP3 page is almost bare compared to the Pirates wii game. This has to be a joke.

Nintendo is acting like they have this hardcore game, but they don't want to promote it because hardcore gamers aren't worth it.

It is definitely not being hyped enough. Wii owners, and websites alike, generally regard Nintendo's 2007 Big Three as Mario Galaxy, SSBB, and Metroid Prime 3.

News and ads show that Nintendo believes their 2007 Big Three are Mario Party 8, Mario Galaxy, and Brawl, with Brawl being the biggest of the three. I think news and exposure should be a little more balanced because Metroid Prime 3 will be the most influential of the Real Big 3 because it will show other developers that FPS games and games that are more than "Pick Up and Play for 20 Minutes" games can flourish on the Wii.

During the last few days, Nintendo is probably going to put put a bunch of casuals on screen playing the game. MP3 deserves more attention than this considering the fact that Bioshock may overshadow the game. Also, Mp3 is the last game in the trilogy.

Either Nintendo is going to make a huge advertising campaign in this month or they are crazy. There are like 200 preorders at the EB games near my house. I think its a problem Nintendo has had since the Gamecube. Fortunately they have been advertiseing more and more.

You can see they dont advertise enough when the maker of SSBB has to flood new info on his on the SSBB website every day. The Prime website should do the same.

Well, since Nintendo is catering to the casual gamer, don't expect much hype for it until very close to release if anything. At that point, you'll probably see a wide variety of commercials on tv making it look pretty good. (Lets hope it IS good)

Forgot to add, MP does aweful in JPN. And since NOA is just being crapped up right now, they aren't really marketing anything. Nintendo Co. LTD in JPN sure isn't going to talk about this game much at all and NOA is too busy with other problems.
