"Do the Dewy"
End his life early by incarcerating him in a bottle and ingesting Dewy.

I didn't know this game was highly anticipated.

Wow, it's great to see Konami trying a little bit to advertise this...

Hopefully this game exhibits sales legs throughout the duration of this product tie-in and the holiday season!

That's the in-game advertising...instead of having branded vending machines, the game over cinematic will be Dewy stuck in an Aquapod moments before being guzzled by the winner of that aforementioned contest while exploring Costa Rica...they'll even use WiiConnect to patch the game with the winner's face and say the game has online connectivity.

I think the game has a good chance, Elebits did REALLY well in North America, so I expect the same thing with Dewy. Not to mention the oh so cute plushie you get for preordering it!

How well is really well GP? I know that both Elebits and Dewy were sent to die in Japan with almost no push from Konami... it's almost as if they've decided that they don't want these games to sell, no matter how much effort the dev team puts in.

Don't have the exact numbers, but I know Konami was pretty happy with the NA sales (though the Japan sales sucked).

Happy?

Comparable to Hybrid Heaven is happy?
