First UK Wii ad

Recommended Posts

I've reported this on the mainsite, for you guys to comment on, as well as this thread.

 

A youtube of this would be sweet, but i don't think one will be up this quick. Maybe in a few hours?

I just saw it. It is very much in the vein of the Japanese adverts, which isn't too bad. It could've done with showing some actual games I think, but it works ok as it is.

There will definitely be other adverts. But, i think this is just to get people talking. Sorta like a "welcome to Wii."

I can't wait until the game adverts start!

i just saw it earlier on the telly, and its crap, JUST A HAND AND THE REMOTE

 

:red:

 

Progressive advertising is very popular.. for 2 weeks Channel 4 was just advertising a date.. then two weeks before Film Four they started rolling more and more adverts.

 

It kinda gets people in a thinking mood, where as most consumers (mentally) switch off in adverts.

Im just thinking, if Sony or Microsoft did the exact same tv spot, some people here would of went down on it like a ton of bricks.

Wow, amazing, Nintendo of Europe are actually advertising a month in advance AND the ad is quite 'mature' and doesn't make it a kids toy for once! Now keep it up.

The new ad is really good! :D

I'm glad ninty are taking the mature road with the wii itself,

although i would like to see the hardcore games like mario, metroid

and zelda get 'normal' ads ;)

Any chance of anyone putting that on You Tube? It doesn't sound like it's anything too special, but anything Wii is good at this point in time. :p

I saw it last night, Channel 5 in a break during CSI: New York!

I was like wtf. It was wierd. Good to see its on C5 though. Ive been checking c4 for ages, as the DS seems to advertise programs there a lot, but i havnt seen it. I was playing animal crossing at the time.

It's on YouTube already, actually, from when somebody saw it on Challenge TV.

Watch it here.

 

Thanks for the link as I had yet to see it.

 

EDIT: It reminds me of the Gabbo advert from the Simpsons, very simple and not giving much away but just enough to get people talking.
