Raining_again Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 i seen the nintendogs one. makes me sorely tempted to buy a DS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 NOE's marketting has really learnt from its mistakes and has improved dramatically, and as a result DS is one of the hottest selling products right now in Europe. Okay, so Nintendo should of always been like this with cube but at least they're working hard now and DS is selling excellent and gives hope that the Revolution will be marketted well.

the_mars_volta Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) Saw the Nintendogs ad and an ad for Game Boy Micro in my local shopping centre. Things are finally beginning to turn around for Nintendo. ________ FREE X MOVIES Edited April 2, 2011 by the_mars_volta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninty 182 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Still haven't seen any Mario Kart DS TV ads. Is there any? I've seen the MK one tons of times now, during good spots as well. S'quite good actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxi678 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I've seen the Nintendog ads around, ain't watched TV in a while though. No sign of the MK or the SM Strikers ads though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Laguna| Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I love the MK advert. Has anyone tseen the psp ad.. how is that gonna make people want to buy ione?? Aye, I thought it was a bit random. Didn't really promote or tell you much abuot the product. Guess Sony are hoping by just ushering the words "playstation portable" will sell it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haver Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The PSP advert is really well done. That's just fanboy speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I hear adverts...I never see them. I'll be in bed and hear it on the TV when my parents are watching, or I'll be on the computer and miss it cos the Cube ones are pretty short. "Get a load of these salt levels" And yes; the words PlayStation will sell the PSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The PSP advert is really well done. That's just fanboy speak. Thats not the point of ads though. It just lets people know that it exists, nothing there about what it does, things like that. The nintendo ads make people want to but it. When i first saw the ad for meteos i thoguht, woah i want that game In the psp adits more like, woah i want a giant clump of red objects that can move about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soag Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've seen nintendogs, mario baseball and geist. I also agee on the PSP one when I saw it I just went WTF :/ I guess its not as bad as the first PS2 ads though men with ducks head and crap and saying welcome to the third place they just melted my head.

Guest Jordan Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've seen in the past 3 days: 6 Nintendog's adverts 3 Mario Kart DS adverts. And I don't even watch that much TV at all. Just Sky One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejay Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Only seen the Mario Kart once and none of the others, bar the nintendogs one a few months back, but then again I don't watch that much T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdhq64 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I don't see why Nintendo are doing so much advertising for the DS. Sure, there's Mario Kart. But Nintendogs? I can only really speak to the GAME I work in, and the others in the region, but nobody can get hold of Nintendogs for love more money. The same goes for all game shops (such as GameStation) in my area. I've had to tell people they might not get Nintendogs (even more so, a coloured DS) before christmas. GAME expect a *tiny* amount of stock sometime in December, but when that's gone - it's gone. If you're after a DS bundled with Nintendogs, you might as well forget about it.

My guess would be people want what they can't have. If Nintendo continue to create more and more buzz about Nintendogs and kids keep screaming at parents for it, it keeps selling out as soon as shops get it, people talk more and the cycle continues. Have a look at the Xbox 360 thread, it's like they're after Buzz Lightyear dolls or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisha Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i prefer the xbox360 advert to nintendo ones. its too late for nintendo to change, but while geist looked to be an "older" game the adverts for mario baseball, mario soccer whatever and mariokart ds feature really out of fashion kiddy cartoon characters. i mean the baseball advert looks like its aimed at 5 year olds. sony as ever are advertising "nothing" with the psp. just a "style" ea have as ever dedicated a badly reviewed game with a "available on gamecube" big splash end cut. they always do that with the poor games it seems. oh well. at least there are games out there.

Haver Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 My sister and mum both want Pink Nintendo DSs for Christmas. It's looking increasingly unlikely. (I got the last Buzz Lightyear in my town. It was a Woolworths display model.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
