| JWeinCom said: It's 5 million dollars for 30 seconds. That's approximately a fuckton of money. I think it's hard to justify a superbowl commercial unless you have a product that is truly mass market like beer or doritos. To pay off it would have to be a REALLY amazing commercial that would have a big aftershock in social media. People tend to talk about the best superbowl commercials, so Nintendo would love to be in that conversation. Short of that, I think there are better ways to spend that amount of money. |
Far more expensive and niche things get advertised on Super Bowl too - like luxury cars and website hosting. Nintendo to many people is niche brand. A luxury brand in that if you play Nintendo - you probably own other systems too. But the point is to make Nintendo a mass market brand again. A great Super Bowl ad can do a lot to make that happen.
Nintendo can always make a big aftershock with the right kind of nostalgia play.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
