Whether you agree with this strange additional marketing or not, Nintendo doesn't care. The fact of the matter is, you are talking about it.
Yeah, but I'm not buying it because of the websites.
No-one is going to stumble across those sites (who loves Capris anyway??) and think "I must buy this game, whatever it is. Is it a game?". Anybody who is going to buy Metroid Prime 2 already knows about it, probably knows about the Halo2 "ilovebees" campaign and definatly knows that Samus is a bird!

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

See how that works?
