Matt C. from IGN Wii must feel like a ...

Jack Ass.

Here's his editorial that launched yesterday about nintendo's seemingly lack of hype for mp3.

And if no one here knew it already. the next morning nintendo realeased a mp3 preview channel in the wii chop channel for free!.

Nintendo not hypeing? i think they are just getting started...

I still agree with Matt. The preview channel is for people who already are planning to get the game. They still need to market the game outside of the channel to get the more mainstream attention of the game. The preview channel is nice, but it isn't enough. Nintendo still needs to advertise the game more.bededog

Wow I bet the TC feels like a....... cause your right, but I think Nintendo will do this in time.

well i did say that I think nintnedo may be getting started with their advertising.and wouldn't it make sense to advertise the hardcore gamesto the hardcore? that's what the wii channel was for: people who already have wiis most likely know about mp3. i bet anything their will be some form of tv/magazine add sometime in the next 2 and a half weeks...

Plus, the videos on the Matroid channel are terribly compressed making for a lackluster showing of what this game is about. Compare to XBOX Live which releases a majority of their preview vids in hd in addition to sd. Options.

One could argue these preview vids actually hurt any MP3 hype, and can come off as a major turn-off to curious Wii owners who downloaded it. Not only does it stutter with the buffering, but the horrible compression makes the game look downright ugly at times when we know it is not.
