Activision is a latecomer to attempted using and abusing of Nintendo. The pioneers in this are Sega. Oh, Sega, you tried so hard to convince the world that Nintendo was uncool. There was this classic 1990 ad, archived at VGMastersClub:

A bit off topic, but I see "high definition" in there.
This is why I found the recent use of the term to be total BS. It was just the entertainment companies trying to find a way to justify that term, instead of making the actual content of movies and games better (better graphics don't make weak games better, just more expensive and time consuming, while great games kick ass no matter the graphics anyway).
Back on topic, I have to agree with disolitude on ads. Expecting the mainstream to read and research why an entertainment product is better just doesn't fly. That's also why using specs as a selling point, whether processing power or motion control sensitivity, nowadays is still foolish.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
