AshMat Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I didn't know you talked to MiDi?! Ive never talked to him actually, he added me a few days ago, but we've never once spoken. :p
Cube Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 First Europe TV Ad It's crazy. (It's for US too, apparently)
Samdecahedron Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Haha! I really liked that advert, it actually shows what the Wii can do, unlike the men in cubes for the Gamecube launch. It seems a bit long for TV, do you reckon it will be shortened?
raven_blade2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I like that advert. I hope we see it on tv and in cinemas soon. It really captures what Wii is all about.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Haha! I really liked that advert, it actually shows what the Wii can do, unlike the men in cubes for the Gamecube launch. It seems a bit long for TV, do you reckon it will be shortened? I hope they shorten it into 2 or 3 adverts. Maybe the blokes visiting each house can be one seperate ad?
The Bard Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 There's quite a lot of double page spread adverts in mags such as Games TM and Edge, but all they say is Wii in huge letters, and a date. It's not really helpful to people who don't know what a wii is. Still, it was a games mag, so I doubt there's really anyone who didn't know what a wii was... Also: I didn't like that advert very much, but I think it'd be quite good for cinemas.
The fish Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 It's a good ad, but I agree with what Fierce said.
Tellyn Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 The Need for Speed Carbon ad advertises the Wii version and it's been out for about a week. First TV ad.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 The Need for Speed Carbon ad advertises the Wii version and it's been out for about a week. First TV ad. I saw that the other week, and my girlfriend was the only person in the room at the time. "Wii! It says Wii. At the end!Yaaaaaay!" "...."
Stocka Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I think it's a pretty decent trailer, and as The Bard said will be great in cinemas. I love the bit at the end going toward the Wii logo
mario_jr Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 First Europe TV Ad It's crazy. (It's for US too, apparently) It would've been cooler if they had used Iwata and Myamoto in the ad.:awesome:
Jasper Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 There have bein ads hanging around on gamesindustry.biz for about a month now, but outside of that I thought that the huge 'Wii' with the date in magazines (I saw it in NGamer) was just an introduction courtesy of the staff, because they're huge fans or something like that. Because there ain't even an Nintendo logo on the ad, nopr any trademark or copyrighjt issues, so it's a poor ad this way. We'll jsut see how that works out, but with roughly four weeks to ge (and on in the Americas), it's about time they started the ad-wagon. Offtopic: IE is a worldwide standard, but it interpretets the HTML wrongly, even if it's writin correctly. And IE has a incredible insecure system were virusses and SPAM just walk through without problem. Luckily, MicroSoft IE 7.0 will be beter for support with HTML and more secure thanks to it's seperation for the normal explorer. Microsoft does listen every once in a while - and most of the while when it's starting to lose market share to firefox and other browsers...
dannbrownn Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I saw one on gamespot. But what the hell's the use of advertising there when basically everyone who visits that site is a gaming nerd? Exactly what i thought, i have seen it advertised on so many games sites... it seems pointless!!!
Jackster Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Microsoft does listen every once in a while - and most of the while when it's starting to lose market share to firefox and other browsers... More like they get a bit miffed when some company releases a product which is better than Micro$oft's and that product actually starts to beat Micro$oft's. You would be surprised how many products come out which are better than M$'s but no one knows about them.
Jasper Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I'm in Art School, and ask anyone what program they are using for their digital imagery, they'll all answer paint. Paint. Paint. Not photoshop. 'Too complex' - but Photoshop is not complex, it's just english (most of the versions) and therefore harder to use (I'm from Belgium). But if you know WHAT you're doing, it should be no problem. They all are, however, talking about 'photoshopping'... But okay, back to topic now would be a good idea.

Eenuh Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 First Europe TV Ad It's crazy. (It's for US too, apparently) It seems to have been removed. I want to see it too. =(
Mundi Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 It seems to have been removed. I want to see it too. =( http://youtube.com/watch?v=43fOzrXejjY I think that´s the commercial
Eenuh Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 http://youtube.com/watch?v=43fOzrXejjYI think that´s the commercial Yay, thank you! =D Nice commercial. And cool car! I want it. X3 But yeah, I can't wait to see it on tv here, or any other Wii advertising for that matter.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 When checking out the Wii US commercials on YouTube I saw this: Advertising on YouTube seems like a smart move. Edit: Not showing a video or pictures explaining what the Wii is after you click on the advertising banners, seems like a bad move.
blender Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 http://www.channel4.com/news/special-reports/special-reports-storypage.jsp?id=3906 Wii special report.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted November 16, 2006 Author Posted November 16, 2006 I didnt know Wii had its own page on Yahoo. LINK There is also a Call of Duty trailer, and a Tony Hawk trailer I havent seen before.
Kurtle Squad Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 There's a Wii tab on MSN messenger now too!!!
triforcemario Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 There's a Wii tab on MSN messenger now too!!!That makes absolutly no sense, especially since MSN messenger is a product by Microsoft. You would have thought the last thing they would be doing would be advertising the Wii on their services.
