Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo's backing of movie games...

Ishy on 20 August 2007

Recently during one t.v show break I saw three wii game adverts...

 1 for trauma center and the other 2 ads were for movie games-the games were promoting harry potter and pirates of the caribbean on wii and then they showed the DS versions... 

 I think that nintendo is trying to garner sales to become the console for movie game lovers...(aka kids), they are trying to show how the wiimote makes movie games better thus encouraging more wii sales...

You may not think this is a big markett, but I know some people who own consoles for their movie game collections... I just thought I'd share this with you...

 Tell me what you lot think of this...

Btw they were proper nintendo adverts... the Harry Potter one wasn't done by EA, they were done by nintendo itself... same with the pirates of the caribbean one...

I seen wii tie-in ads too, and also Microsoft X360 movie ads for various movie ti-in games. Not sure how you know "who" did them. Anyways, I suspect that they are sharing advertising costs.

I don't recall ever seeing any for the PS3 specifically (although some generic multi-platform TV ads).
