Last night, I was watching TV, and guess what edvertisement came on? It was Petz Catz and Dogz for DS! And it wasn't just once, it was every commercial break... They paid so much damn ads for shovelware, and showed ZERO gameplay footage. They just showed a bunch of stupid dogs and cats looking into the TV. And yet I still haven't seen a NMH commercial... The worst part of the whole deal is, my mom goes "what a cute game". I immeadiately did a facepalm and said: "That shovelware? It's stupid. You didn't even see the game.", and then she said "I don't care, it looked cute".

 

 

Would your mom have said that No More Heroes looked "cute"? ...probably not. She did like the commercial for Petz though and was watching a program where she was part of the targeted demographic. I'm not a fan of all these family games but ads are generally going to be focused to those who would probably watch the particular program. Also, ads for hardcore games don't need to be advertised as much since fans of that genre will find out about those game. Your mom isn't likely to search the web and subscribe to gaming mags to read about Carnival Games. So companies need to advertise more to reach mom. And lately Ubisoft has probably given us more harcore than Nintendo. Blame all these 3rd party publishers all you want but it's Nintendo that started this.

 

Want to name some names? We didn't even get a new Brothers in arms, just a cover slip to change the color! And where is Red Steel 2?
