all I hear of is Bioshock lately, and I have a feeling that it will be that for many weeks after launch

I wonder how many people are going to even realise MP3 is out? (becides the hardcore sheep)

not to mention what if MP3 doesnt get AAA? MP2 was 9.1 ... then theres hunters..

just go play a real metroid game, Super Metroid  I know I have been

It will be inevitable that MP3 will be lost in a wave of Bioshock hype, since this game is evidentally incredible and MP3 has been getting pretty good previews, but not the same acclaim (except from IGN).

I think mp3 is gonna be amazing. Just as good as Bioshock, but critics favor new ips over old ones. Thats why I think itll be GOTY.(bioshock that is, or have a high chance of it)

Not at all. I am hyped ten-fold for both games still. And the Metroid Wii hype campaign is working wonders.

MP 3 is surely not being forgotten. In fact the reason it's not spoken so much here as well, is because A) Bioshock got an early release for some. B) MP 3 really has nothing availible. The people who have Wiis can play some videos on the Preview Channel, which gets updated like every three days. However, there's nothing, nada, zip, zilch said about the game or even videos.

It's gonna be a AAA game I'm sure. It's just that it's gotten very little attention, cause we have nothing on it.

Besides the the whole Metroid campaign thing Nintendo is doing on Wii consoles...

Still, Nintendo needs some commercials. Today, I saw a Bioshock trailer continuouly playing on a TV at a Fry's that would catch anyone's attention.

I haven't forgotten about MP3. I'm actually kind of glad that MP3 got pushed back a week. Now I get a full week to play Bioshock and then when MP3 comes out I can dive into it for a while.

What if I'm one of the millions of people who doesn't have Wii, and have been waiting for a compelling reason to buy one? Shouldn't MY demographic be one Nintendo is advertising this to?

Bioshock is a multiplat that both pc gamers and 360 owners want plus that incredible demo helped. While mp3 is only on the wii with no demo or videos. Really bio was hyped and it not only lived up to it with graphics but the gameplay and story are also great so it's hard for any game right now even halo 3 is kinda lost right now.

Nintendo's fault for not marketing or doing their job to get the game noticed.

No, pointless to advertise to MS and Sony fanboys.

So basically, you're saying that the only people Nintendo needs to advertise the game to are people who already own a Wii, which is why the only marketing is on Wii channels. Brilliant.

I am a Metroid fan, and I do not own a Wii. If I wasn't a frequent forum user, I wouldn't even know Metroid Prime 3 was coming out this month. Nintendo screwed the pooch with MP3's marketing, there's no way around it. This game should be pitched as a system seller, but Nitendo isn't pitching it at all. This game is going to have lackluster sales and it's going to be totally Nintendo's fault.

Metroid Prime 2's sales were lackluster. Obviously, if Nintendo doesn't even tell people the game is coming out, average joe isn't going to buy it. Metroid, unfortunately, does not sell itself, no matter how great of a franchise it is. It's always been a cult favorite, and to sell to the public it needs lots of hype.
