Yoshi was supposed to start his marketing tour yesterday but we still have yet to hear anything from this tour. I know he is doing a good job with the game but this silence on a tour that was supposed to put the word out is not a good sign. It just adds to the fear that there isn't really anything new done from Alpha. And still no word on when the beta will start except "soon".

I am going to be honest here, I do not even think the beta will start this month. Reason being mostly because of this silence.

"Oh, but they put out new pictures," you may say but those pictures were still shots of someone doing something. Those could have easily been staged so that they would appease fans.
