All finished. Brilliant show this week. The crew is really coming together now, I reckon. You're all speaking naturally and everything flows very smoothly because of it.
I find it amusing how EA is using Nintendo as a scapegoat for the low sales of their own games. With Nintendo helping out Capcom and Square Enix to promote Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest respectively, it makes sense because both of those third parties are primarily Japanese; their Western branches are probably less willing/able to spend a lot on advertising, hence the obvious need for assistance from NoA and NoE. EA, on the other hand, are a Western publisher - one of the biggest video game publishers at that. All of their resources are focused on selling it to America and Europe, so they should not need Nintendo to hold their hand when it comes to marketing.
A Japanese publisher having trouble selling to the West I can understand, but a Western publisher having trouble selling to the West... sorry EA, I'm not buying that excuse. Nintendo shouldn't have to finance your advertising campaigns for you to be successful, you just have to try harder.
By the way, Neal, I got Rabbids Go Home yesterday. Now, you mentioned getting codes off a website to unlock some additional costumes. Can these be unlocked by simply playing the game normally, or are they only accessible via these codes, akin to the hidden modes in Madden 10? 'Cause if it's the former, I'd like to find them myself, but if it's the latter, I'll seek out the codes.
