FYI, I've never been able to beat "Super Mario Sunshine" (without Action Replay) or "Super Mario Galaxy 2". I have to question WHY I need to do that one mission involving jumping on enemies in a row to satisfy a monkey. Like dude, this evil turtle's going to destroy the universe or whatever, why not just give me the star and let me move on?

Re: Random: Footage Of Nintendo's Weird Zelda: Majora's Mask E3 Event Resurfaces

Speaking of obscure Majora’s Mask advertising, does anyone remember the non-dramatic one where a family is at a breakfast table, and the dad’s reading the newspaper with “MOON NEARS EARTH” as the headline, and the mom tells her son “Don’t you have a game to play?” and then it cuts to the son playing the game in his room? I swear I remember this commercial vividly, but I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe it was for a local game store.

There's actually a reason demos aren't distributed much online, and TV Tropes says why: if a demo includes Dummied Out data from the final game, data miners can uncover spoilers for the final game and release them in the Internet. While removing said data is an option, it can greatly increase the work needed to create a demo since it requires the demo to go through additional testing to ensure the removal of supposedly non-required assets doesn't have unintended consequences.
