Halo 3 had the more hype. It even had it's own soft drink and I've yet to see a SSBB commercial. Nintendo is poor at advertising. |

It's obvious Halo 3 had more advertising for the thing. The fans were a lot more wild about it, Mountain Dew wanted to cash in on it with a (in my opinion) nasty spin on the regular Dew, they had to make t-shirts, carrying cases, pins, stickers, other annoying stuff that retailers had to sell on opening night, everyone was covering it be it mass media, magazines, the Internet, or newspapers, and with a midnight opening pretty much everywhere, who couldn't escape people talking about it? Brawl has the hype, but it's nowhere near as public as Halo was. I know a lot more people that want, WANT Brawl badly. They just aren't open about it because they're a different crowd from the Halo fans. Halo was overkilled a week before it came out, Brawl only has the dreaded double delay. Nothing can phase it's fans now. They have patience (some of 'em). Oh, and when I was working the Halo opening shift, I wore my Reggie Wii shirt. That was fun. http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2006/11/reggieT.jpg |

I have yet to see one SSBB commercial in the states. I remember seeing Halo 3 trailer ads in movie theatres a year prior to the games actual release. I agree that Nintendo is terrible at marketing. The Wii would like to play commercials need to stop and Nintendo needs to take marketing a bit more serious. |

You mean....kick it old school? http://youtube.com/watch?v=bjLy6GabB80 I can't say why Nintendo doesn't advertise more at the moment, but they never did advertise games months before it came out. I imagine we'll see an American commercial for Brawl sometime soon enough with the two Wii guys. |

Halo 3 had much more hype. They had the mountain dew, they had so many adds, it got annoying. As I type this, months after release there is a banner add for something called "halocal". Plus you had people hyping to the point that even I was excited about the single player, despite hating Halo 2's. G4 had an entire evening of programming centered around it's release. But with smash bros, all the hype seemed to be on sites like smash dojo, and some of the main game media sites like 1up. There was a small television campaign, I think I saw the add once. So in the end, I feel Halo 3 got way more hype than SSBB. |

Halo 3 had the hype but SSBB is a far better game then SSBM Halo 3 on the other hand seems like a slight upgrade |

Lol go fall in a hole. Probably Halo had more hype. It had the commercials, the beta, the toys, the drinks, the cups. Yet like others have said, I have yet to see a SSBB commercial. |

I saw the Wii would like to play commercial for SSBB. It was terrible. It was a bunch of people crowded around a room, thrusting their nun chucks in the air and doing victory poses. |
