I'm definitely looking forward to those but I always expect Nintendo to fail when it comes to advertising... It's hard to believe this is the same Nintendo from the late 80's and 90's. Heck, they were better in the first half of the 2000's.

2006-2010 was them at their best as far as marketing goes, as reflected in their sales. It's amazing that it took them so little time to utterly lose the plot.

That's certainly true, they managed to bring in otherwise disinterested demographics to sell the Wii and DS to. I suppose I was referring to the funny and/or clever advertising that targeted "gamers" back in the day.

At this point they're not doing a good job with either.

"Now you're playing with power: super power!"

Ah, them were the days...
