Pit-Jr Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 What do yall think about Nintendo's tv commercials now compared to a few years ago? Better or worse? Im thinking worse but i dig the Mario Baseball ads, particulary the Bowser and Peach spots. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanser Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The only ads on tv were DS sponsors on Channel 4 comedy programmes and Nintendogs sponsors how to train your bloke like a dog or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash_Tyagi Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 In the states they have the "Who are You?" line of ads, and you know in light of the Rev's capabilities I think the ads have even more meaning now, because of the added immersion of the Rev will make it easier for you to take on the role of the character onscreen.

Strider Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 i thought the nintendogs one was another andrex toilet paper ad when it came on. But overall they are gettin better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah, it's like some kinf of wierd role-reversal. Nintendo have got their products plastered over busses, magazines, TV and the inetrnet. Sony mean while just don't seemt o be trying anymore. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony mean while just don't seemt o be trying anymore. What's with that? Sony rely on the following names for PSP to sell: Playstation Sony GTA ...and it works. Many UK people will buy/have bought a PSP just because they recognise the name and haven't even looked into it. Majority of UK people aren't open minded you see. Bloody chavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Even on those kinds of brand names, there's only so much miliage you can get out of them. I wonder how long it will last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody chavs. Ha, so very very (so true I said it twice) true. But it's that very thing that makes them a powerful company. They have the brand names. Nintendo should get some soon, Nintendogs definitly is one, but that is a very unique game, I cant realy see a sequal, apart from one on Revo. I love the Nintendogs ad on TV, and the meteos one in magazines. 'If you like neatly stacking blocks... you'l love smashing them into asteroids!'

dabookerman Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 i think the advance wars and meteos adverts are shit. i personally think, NOE need to fire their current merketers and employ new ones, they are doing a crap job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah...there wasn't really much going on in the AWDS ad to make you want to buy it!! Unless you were sitting there playing it when you first saw it on the TV XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamus_aran Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 But lets face it. Name a good game advert? GTA ones were shit. They only told people who love the game it was out. Burnout 4 is a shit game (BO3 ROX). Perfect Dark one rocked my socks. But thats about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
