Just call it a live demo or something instead of marathon. I missed the whole animal crossing 'marathon' GS made. I was sure that I can see the end of it when I come back home and watch the beginning later, the main reason I'm pissed is not being able to chat about the footage while watching.
If they would have called it a live demo, or something which doesn't make people think something that's many hours long*, I would have been able to change my plans a bit to see part of it live.
I also would have liked to get the emblem since I'm still somewhat preferring Nintendo over other game companies. (In the lack of more "hard core" games and other must buy titles on Wii I needed to get 360** .) I still really like those great Game Cube era styled less casual releases of Nintendo outside the "Wii [stuff]" games.
*around 3 hours or more
**this was at the time when they revealed Wii Music and had their worst E3 press event ever, I finally realized that the casual market was going to be in way too dominant part of Nintendo at least during the next year or few. I got 360 to keep me entartained enough.
