See, I guess you could look at it as advertising. Did you call Link in Soul Calibur II "blatant advertising for a game that needs no more advertising"? I don't like Zelda very much, but I don't see Link as a playable character as anything but a cool extra.
Look at the maddenbus the same way.
What he's saying is that it would be forced advertising if you could get it regardless of whether or not you own Madden because then he would have to see it. As is the only way he's going to get it is if he buys a game he hates, which he won't, so it's not affecting him directly.Quote:

I thought Link in the game was lame, because it was obvious Nintendo was doing whatever they could get people to play it on their system instead of others. The whole idea of system exclusive characters was dumb, but I just never used them (as was said before). But....Quote:

Remember how in the old Maddens (like, the first or second one) if one of your players got injured, an ambulance would drive onto the field and bowl everyone over? That was awesome.Quote:

When I went by my Best Buy, they said I had to pre-order it from them to get the demo (and had a sign saying that). I'd go to another one if it wasn't a 15 mile drive.
