This is how you do a trailer with no gameplay footage

We vaguely remember Sega's Yume Neko DS to be some kind of Nintendog-esque virtual cat game. At this point, we want to buy it right now, because Sega's trailer is perfect. Except for the whole not one second of gameplay being shown bit. But is the actual game going to be better than cute kittens?
That's right, instead of showing off the game's graphics or features, Sega just created a video of four and a half minutes of cute kittens. We support the adoption of the "kitten footage" style for more game trailers -- we'd rather stare at kittens than know what games are about. Mew!

The next Halo trailer better be like this or they'll never sell more than a million copies!

Yume Neko means Dream Cat... Not bad a name for this kind of game.
As for the trailer... It was total cuteness, but I hope they make a worthwhile game up there with Nintendogs.

THIS IS A MUST BUY!!!! SEE THE GRAPHICS? PERFECT, I knew DS could output stuff like this.

Hnngh. I'm not really a cat or dog person. Got another baby lovebird to take care of.

The Dreamcast would still be kicking ass if Sega had been using this marketing scheme back then.

Microsoft needs to make a 4 minute trailer of sloths to advertise Halo 4. I certainly felt like a sloth when playing the Halo games.

Omg so sweet! T_T
I am utterly cat-tarded as a result.
I must run home and hug my kitty.
