Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart 8 ads UK

Well Nintendo UK have been true to their word that Mario Kart 8 will be extensively advertised throughout the year. I've been up just over an hour and ive already seen the Mario Kart 8 bundle ad 4 times. I haven't seen any for Hyrule Wariors though lol, have Nintendo started ramping up their advertising in other regions? 



Around the Network

Well in the Netherlands there hasn't been a single tv add, appaerently have been a few tv adds, which I missed though. But the limited advert is probably due to the fact that not that many people speak dutch. Playstation does have more tv adds in our country though.
Our shops advertise Mario Kart 8 pretty well though.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

We had a couple near launch in Australia. Nothing much though.

Nintendo performs awfully here though so I assume it's a market they don't consider worth investing in much.

Not true, there have been a few MK8 ads on various channels, and even some 3DS ads.

You're right actually, that was good to hear in the direct.

I suppose I should say Nintendo's presence here is awful. Most EBGames have a tiny 'Nintendo' corner where all you'll find is a couple of 3DS games, Mario 3D World/Kart 8 and a couple of old Wii games (at full price of course).

They really should advertise Hyrule Warriors too, heck, all major games that are not SMash or Mk8 should get the MK8 advertising treatment.

What channel did you see them on? I haven't seen any myself here in UK.

My bad which channels btw I did not see them on Veronica, SBS or RTL, while I pretty much watch tv nearly every day. I've seen multiple 3ds PS4 and even an Xbox one add though. I am talking about adds directly from nintendo not a shop which features a nintendo item. But if there where Mario kart direct adds from nintendo on the tv I stand corrected.
