Anyone heard about this new thing Microsoft is using to get more of a younger audience towards the '360 crowd and get rid of that 'nothing but Halo' image? Considering I'm a huge Rareware fan, and they're the ones who are working on this game (most being done by the guys that did Banjo-Kazooie, etc. who in my opinion are the best of the best.) I can't help but be excited by it. Dosen't seem half bad of an idea, almost a blend of Animal Crossing and Pokemon - which I dare anyone to call not a genius idea. Not to mention the graphics, I've NEVER seen graphics this awesome.
And they're pulling whatever they can to get kids interested in this thing, they've got a merchandice program being set up and 4Kids doing a CGI show about it all. This sort of marketing attempt reminds me of early-on in the days of Pokemon. Normally I'd be a bit worried about 4Kids doing the show... considering their track record as of late. But the preview video they have on the official website is actually not half bad. (sorry, but I'm a sucker for innuendo in kids' shows XD) Although some websites report that game/TV show having a Friends/Sienfeld-ish sense of humor which I can't really see. Rare's humor in their games tend to be rather light, and seeing Sienfeld-like humor in a show done by 4kids is something I can't comprehend. But, so far (which is pretty much nothing) it looks good, and I choose to be an optimistic fanboy.
I just hope I can somehow get enough money for a 360 one of these days.
