Sometime I wonder if people acturally remember correctly Nintendo before wii.  They use to advertise about there specs and not only market games friendly to little children.

This was a actural Nintendo commerical during the N64 era (not kid friendly).

Advertising the specs was prior to Gamecube. Conker's Bad Fur Day was actually Rare developed and published game, not Nintendo's, which would put it into same category with Madworld and other over the top violent games there were on Wii.

True, I dont know how it works for commercial (do Nintendo get some say in what allowed when there company logo is used in the commercial) but my memory is the commercials that aired on tv for Madworld  was fairly tame in comparison.

They might not have advertised gamecube specs like they did for Snes/N64 but it was a powerful system in comparison to the competition.  It was not till wii that the trend of being signficantly lower specs started.
