That's SpotPass, RMC. You must still be shocked by the Pokémon news ;)

They still don't do this for 3rd party games yet?

Well of course, it's the most expensive eShop title yet.

But maybe you should, because it's very enjoyable.

They do in Europe (the UK at least). I've had ads for Zen Pinball and Mighty Switch Force, possibly more.

They have done this with every game that came out that had one of these videos where you could register to get news by spotpass. They did it for Mario, Mario Kart, Sakura Samurai. They'll do it for Kid Icarus, Mario Tennis, paper mario and luigi mansion...
:P

Unmm £9 just seems too much for an eshop title, I'll just wait for a price drop and if Nintendo don't do digital price drops I guess I'll never play it.

This game has some length to it. Each village could take like 15 min to complete and you may have to go back to some to get more stars.

huh, each level takes way longer than 15 mins

you're looking at over 10 hours to beat the game and 20 to complete it fully.
it's a great game IMO and under rated

What I'm wondering is, why isn't there a demo if Nintendo really wants you to spend money on it? It's like they think that if people have a demo, they won't buy the full game. I can't believe we are in 2012 and we are still going through this crap with them. Release a demo for EVERY SINGLE GAME! It does not hurt to do so. Sheesh. Get with the times, Nintendo!

Still need a demo to see whether it's anything beyond the few, boring Strategy titles I've tried in the very distant past...

The strategy part is actually not present enough... You don't choose where you put towers, the base is already there, you just "upgrade" them. Also, they help, but not dramatically. The game is way more action oriented than strategy. The only real strategy that matters is which monster you attack first, at least, in the first levels.
