Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart Wii commercials - What was Nintendo thinking?

That wasn't so bad...........I was expecting something so drastically terrible. It might appeal to people to buy it..........advertised the wii wheel enough, lol.



Around the Network

Geez, I was reading this thread on my cellphone (no youtube), and after reading the comments I thought I was in for something terrible... Now that I'm on a PC, I just saw them and I think they're great! Not only I love the redneck style, but the second advertisement heavily touts the multiplayer mode, which is IMO the biggest strength of this game.

Any customers they lose over this commercial are going to be far outweighed by the ones they gain, I'd wager. Quite frankly, if your decision to buy a game rests solely on the image it generates in the eyes of other people, what does that say about your ability to enjoy something for what it actually is? The game has not changed at all in content due to this commercial; only your perception of the game has changed.

I'm thinking this falls along the same lines of why boys refuse to call their dolls 'dolls' in America, and instead insist on calling them 'action figures'...



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

NO COMMENT. sure though it looks a lot childish, but then again its a mario game u cant expect it to be a serious ad



I like technology when its moving forward..

Around the Network

I just saw the commercials I find them annoying enough that it makes me want to go buy the game .....its like saying go buy mario kart wii ! go buy it now !



Yeah, after viewing these a second time...I'm pretty sure these ads rock.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I have lost what little faith I had in Nintendo ads.



Ummmmm... where to start?

They're really bad, but they're the kind of bad that are so bad, are actually cool. They wouldn't convince me to buy the game, but I'm sure that they're perfectly suited for younger kids (i.e.: Anyone under the age of 8) to ask their parents for the game. The commercials seem very kid friendly, which is why I'm sure most users who don't like it don't get. That being said, the fact that Nintendo isn't trying to appeal to all gamer, not younger people is fairly troubling, I hope that they have other ads that are less over the top, that can appeal to older people, cause this commercial would surely turn away anyone from taking the Wii as a serious gaming console.

But it's above and beyond better than "Wii would like to play"... Not that that was too hard.

I do think the commercial will do it's job, and get sales for the game, because of the target demographic though, which in the end, is all that matters.



This is going to sell Billions, mainly because I'm buying 1 for each time he sais Yeehaw
