This is the most surprising part of the article for me - that there seems to be a consensus with the cubed3 writers that people will be "turned off" from looking at trailers for this game. Obviously everyone has different tastes in games, but the notion that people will actually be turned off seems a little bit ridiculous.
I don't think there's a consensus at all - a trailer can only build up a certain level of excitement really.
The rest comes from playing it - especially with a game like this. The whole four player, asymmetric approach only really clicked for me when I gave it a go. That said I was excited and did understand what Nintendo were trying to do before playing, don't get me wrong, but it only cemented this understanding once playing the game.
With something like Zelda, where we already have this understanding of what it would feel like playing and the concepts around it, it's different.
As Adam says, people take to trailers and adverts differently - and hey, playing it you may still not like what you're seeing. But what we're trying to say here is that there's so much that can be shown and explained in video compared to trying it first hand.
