A Superbowl commercial if you can make a really funny might've actually been worth it for Nintendo because it probably would've been replayed a lot over the next week.

But that's a big if. If you could hire a Kate Upton or Megan Fox maybe playing opposite a guy in Donkey Kong suit and then get something funny out of it, it would probably be more effective than all their marketing in the US to date. $4 million is not a bad amount to spend if they could pull it off.

But Nintendo is too Japanese centric, they wouldn't understand these things. 


Isn't that why they have Reggie though.      It blows my mind that game companies don't advertise during the Super Bowl.   Spiderman 2 had a trailer and the 1st one brought in 262 million, which means this one will probebly bring in a little less at about 230 - 240 million.     5 million copies of Mario Kart 8 at $60 would bring in $300 million dollars.      It really makes no sense to me that companies don't use the Super Bowl to debut new products.  Could you imagine Nintendo showing Metroid Prime 4 for the 1st time during the Super Bowl.    With all of the FPS fans in the U.S., gamers would go nuts for it.   Seriously I wish I could run marketing at Nintendo, they have so many great products and are just terrible at marketing.  Call of Duty is basically just one big marketing campaign now.
