Good to see Game Informer with a good score, though. Not sure Nintendo could afford this to suck.
Their UK Facebook page is pedalling this game like mad. Maybe they invested more in it that we'd expected.

Haha, that guy is pretty awesome.
It's Nintendo marketing. When was the last time they didn't use word of mouth?
It was maybe appropriate when their console was selling 250k per month. Different story now.
The ads come on around children's programming blocks on cable networks like CN.
As stated, the TV commercials have started to air already
If so they won't be where some are watching then. Kids channels like said. I wish they would expand out from that but they don't seem to. Which is why it looks like at times they don't advertise at all. That's only true in some cases I think but not all.
March 18th here in NA.
It's a Lego game. Airing commercials on MTV, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon is absolutely the correct strategy for this release.

Is there any reason to believe the full game won't be downloadable on the Wii U on day one?

Yeah; I really hope you can switch the audio!
Nintendo's eShop has a banner across the top announcing a midnight release March 18th. I understand the skepticism that Wii U will ever release games and the year 2014 will arrive with no additional releases due to project cancellation, but cut the Wii U some slack.
Um, it's more because Fire Emblem's retail release is fucked up and had the same notice on Amazon. You really jumped to some conclusions there.
There's a news notice on eShop that the game will be available for download at midnight on the 18th.
This is not a retailer claiming a March 18th release date, this is Nintendo stating directly on their Wii U eShop. If the game was being delayed or cancelled I'm pretty sure we would know by now.
Is there a previous precedence for Wii U games cancelling with 10 days of release?
It could have shipping problems like FE but it will definitely be released on March 18th officially.
I REALLY hope we can find this out before the release here in Europe.

Seems that Edge have given this game a 5/10.

What is your shitty language, if you don't me asking? I assumed you were native English... if not then very good work on learning it!

Well, Edge uses the whole scale.
Meaning that this is an average game, and half as good as Skyward Sword.
Can't say it's ever a good idea to be overly hyped about anything. However, need more review scores. Remember ZombiU?

Ah, a low score in Edge.
Have to see the review text before figuring out what they're thinking; very unpredictable with scores, actually.
Edge scores are all over the place. In some ways it means less than a 5 from IGN. Need the text to see what they gripe about.

Ouch. Will be interesting to see what the other outlets make of this. There seems to be a real desire from people for this game to turn out great (understandably). Will be quite a big let down if it turns out to be pretty average.

Yup, an Edge score isn't enough to put me off a game. Still, a 5 isn't too promising.
There is a thread on OT right now asking Gaf how to spend 500 dollars. I think that speaks for itself

Yeah, it's silly to latch onto great scores like a reflex but why is it when one score is low, people discount a game's worth???
I remember when ZombiU got that 4.5, several were like "so the game's shit, not surprising" or something to that effect.
This game will probably have more good scores than non-good scores.
With all that said.....AN 8 FOR LUIGI'S MANSION, AN UNDISTIPUTEDLY GREAT GAME

Tomb Raider scoring higher than MGR is the real crime here lol, seriously. MGR deserved better.
Well... fuck. Hope more reviews shed the light on this :\

Good review, footage looks very fun even if they maybe should have put more content in the form of side missions, etc...
I can't tell if the vehicles control poorly or not, I get the sense of how they control and that it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue like its intentional and not bad mechanics.
Overall, while maybe not right away, still seems a game worth picking up for sure.
