sagat Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Does anyone remember seeing any TV ads for gamecube? i don't recall seeing any during her lifetime. Know we see at least one Wii advert on every major channel everyweek.
Ganepark32 Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Yeh I remember some of the ones from the release of the Gamecube. The one where it was an exhibition hall and in the centre was a huge glass cube and on it they projected footage of the games. Then there were the Wind Waker adverts where the woman who was cloaked was talking about something (not a real woman I don't think) and then went on to show footage of the game. They didn't really pushing the Gamecube through advertising as they were very minimal in what they advertised.
Emasher Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Does anyone remember seeing any TV ads for gamecube? i don't recall seeing any during her lifetime. Know we see at least one Wii advert on every major channel everyweek. I remember seeing a few at the beginning of the generation. I seem to remember they had someone whispering "gamecube" at the end of them. I don't remember much else. You didn't see them very often though. You could try searching them on youtube.
Tellyn Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 I remember the Wind Waker advert - it was the first game I ever preordered and spent months anticipating, and it was this game that enticed me into buying NGC and becoming a Nintendo nut. It was Link's sister telling us what the storyline was, then a bit of gameplay. Also remember the Donkey Konga advert. *Cough*.
RossK Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 I remember Sonic Heroes had one i think... Mario Sunshine maybe?
Ten10 Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Resi 4 had a few. Some multi platform games would have the gamecube logo after it. I know for a fact super mario sunshine had one, but it wasn't ridiculous like the US one.
sagat Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks guys.. i am happy with the current adverts fir the Wii. I laughed at the Harry Redknapp and Jamie Redknapp pro evo ad.
darksnowman Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I remember things for early Cube games like Smash Bros and that- taking place in side a glassy cube as mentioned above. I'm loving the Wii adverts with the Redknapps!

killer kirby Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I have seen that commercial before, I didn't know if I should be laughing or crying >_<
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 There were some great adverts for the Gamecube at the beginning. The ones inside the cube were quite funky. But, as soon as the launch period ended, they were so few and far between. It's a shame. They could have done so much more with the GameCube name.
Jimbob Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I remember quite a few of the old "glass cube" adverts with a game featured in a glass cube. Ones i remember are Star Wars: Rouge Squadren II, Sonic Adventure II, Super Smash Bros: Melee and Luigi's Mansion. Others ads i have seen include Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine (embarrased) and Metroid Prime
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Actually, the Metroid Prime advert was pretty decent, I thought. Hmm, might have to track that down sometime. Also, were there many adverts for Resident Evil 4, or other third party games?
