Mimternet Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Just seen a Mario Strikers advert on Channel 4 during T4. Also seen Nintendogs adverts during prime time on Channel 4, ITV 1 and digital channels. Not to mention the Mario Kart DS taxi promo being plastered on the front page of every Metro newspaper across London. They're really going for it this Christmas! Any other TV or print ads spotted?
The3rdChildren Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm willing to bet the Mario Karts will sell big this holiday, unless people are stupid. DS is the obvious handheld choice with so many new games hitting at this point - we're really getting some kiL14r 4ppz this holiday season. Shame the GameCube is pretty dead.
Bowser57 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Shame the GameCube is pretty dead. Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. Stay here. Stay here as long as you can. For the love of God, cherish it. You have to cherish it.
James Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Still haven't seen any Mario Kart DS TV ads. Is there any?
1UP Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah, I see the MArio footbal one like 3 times a day! XD and seen the nitendogs a few times.
Bowser57 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I saw a Nintendo sponsered tramp yesterday. Apparently they're given Special Brew and tins of beans by Nintendo as long as they promise to follow the first person that walks past each morning screaming and swearing at them until they buy a DS and Mario Kart. I had to drive my tramp home and show him my copy of each before he'd stop abusing me. (The above isn't actually true, but in a perfect world it would be). ... On the subject of ads, I haven't seen loads, but I've watched very little TV since getting home. Peep Show last night was great though. In the US I saw the Mario Kart ad a few times, and a lot of pretty good 360 ads.
Josh64 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I saw a mario kart ad, i think it was on when the simpsons was on, or im a celebrity, it was on before a good program anyway. I saw the nintendogs ad loads too!
Hero-of-Time Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. Stay here. Stay here as long as you can. For the love of God, cherish it. You have to cherish it. Ah Billy Madison what a film!
Sarka Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Mario Soccer ad is on CITV alot. Nintendogs ads are really everywhere, shame Nintendo can't get enough Nintendog games, and I've seen the MKDS ad afew times, hopefully they'll show it more now that it's actually out.
the_mars_volta Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) I saw a great Mario Kart ad last night...but it was on Five. Can't remember what programme it was between either but it was on about 10pm. ________ Interracial tubes Edited April 2, 2011 by the_mars_volta

Haver Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I contemplate my collection and my memories and you know, the GameCube was pretty swell.
elniro Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Yea i saw the mario soccer smash or whatever it called ad, i thought it was pretty crap, with other massively hyped soccer games out i dont think it'll sell all that well. Should have spent the money elsewhere

Should have spent the money elsewhere At least consumers will be aware of its existance, though. The ad will definitely help sales quite a bit. Games like this are coming out way too late in the Gamecube's lifespan. ________ XANAX REHAB ADVICE Edited April 2, 2011 by the_mars_volta
Charlie Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I saw a Nintendo advert last night, I was surprised to see it. I hardly watch any TV at all, and the time I do I saw the MK ad
ViPeR Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I see the constant sponsors for C4 comedy, plus I saw the Mario Kart ad at some point yesterday but forgot which channel. Though i'm also noticing places like Woolworths and Argos advertising the console, that so wouldn't have happened with the GC so they must be doing something right. All we need now is more shelf space.
rokhed00 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 No one else seen the add for Mario baseball yet then? It has some guy in a Bowser suit striking out to one of those pitching machines, and then he jumps on it.
Platty Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah ive seen the baseball one with bowser getting angry with the machine Ive also seen the football one and yesterday i saw the mario kart advert.
jakeee Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I've spotted an ad on TV. First it was about Pokemon XD and then it mentioned the Mario Kart bundle and the wi-fi connection. It was a nice ad if you ask me.

Sarka Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 And the Pokemon Emerald ads have been on for awhile aswell. Nintendo must be spending big bucks for these ads, hopfully they'll get alot of sales and the DS will pwn this Xmas.
Haver Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I've seen plenty of adverts for the new Pokemon probably-not-a-proper-RPG, on E4 mostly. When I'm approached while playing on my DS, people often reference the old Channel 4 ads. So they worked. The Mario Kart advert was really well done. Actually, there's a lot of video game adverts airing right now, which is probably to be expected. Mostly EA stuff.
Wesley Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I saw the Nintendogs advert inbetween South Park on Paramount a few times.
Ashley Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Actually in the last day I have seen two MSF adverts and one MK advert. And saw a Nintendogs one the last few days.
Guest DS MaNiAc Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Seen the MK one, the Baseball one and the 'Soccer' one. They are all pretty good.
