Forums - Nintendo - How The Pros Mock Nintendo

Sega was awesome. I wish companies still attacked each other like that in commercials nowadays.



Around the Network

Blur...lol the game won't have 1/20 of Mario Kart Wii sales so they can mock Nintendo as they want, Nintendo will definitely laughing last.



Lol @ the FFVII ad. Way to use pre-rendered graphics.

this is pure gold. it shows that nintendo was no diffrent than Sony back in 2006.

Nintendo before PS1 success: DISCS ARE CRAP!!!!

Nintendo after PlayStation success: making GameCube disc based system and Wii as well.

 

Same with motion controlls today!!!!

 

So everytime someone says sony are hypocrates, im just gonna show them the link

Kinda missed that whole era when Nintendo were in talks with Sony and Philips to make a CD based console, eh?

Or how they never said that discs were crap but rather they are much more easily pirated, damaged, slow and can't be written on.

 

As for the topic, no company in the industry has been negatively targeted in advertisements more than Nintendo.   But such is the nature of advertising....it always targets what is most successful.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

You'd think after all these year, people would realize that betting against Nintendo is not a good idea

That cutie kart thing is so stupid. Nobody plays racing games to look "cool." Actitivion's just jealous that Mario Kart Wii has sold 25 million and Blur probably won't reach 1 million.



I always felt the kevin butler ad was more aimed at ms than ninty? Might've missed something.



Gotta love how they almost all ended up failing themselves.

Sega crashed out of the hardware business, (shame, cos Dreamcast was one of the best consoles ever) Blur couldn't hold a candle to Mario Kart's success, Lynx was a bomb...

Derogatory advertisement is a generally bad idea in my opinion, it makes the comapny look insecure, and leads consumers to associate their brand with negativity and snarkiness.

And I gotta add, Butler is a jackass. I don't care who he supports, he's just the kind of person who, if I met them IRL, I'd want to punch them in the face for being such a smug, sneering pest.



Fuck me! Sony and MS are so proud of having high def graphics. Atari beat them to it... With a portable!

Why don't you post the contraversial print ad nintendo had in 1994 mocking 3Do and Sega CD/32X?

Or the 1993 ad making fun of the Genesis for not being able to do Mode 7 and saying nintendo has Sports games superiority

Out of curiosity could you, please, provide links?


Im looking. Seems like history deleted those. I remember 2 distinctly...They were EGM ads. 1 was making fun of Genesis for not being able to do mode 7, hence sports games look better on Snes. And the other was for donkey Kong country...making fun of Jaguar, 3Do, 32x, sega cd...naming them individually...and saying that you don't need these systems when you have the power of Snes and Donkey Kong.

Well, I can't find either. Damn history and it's double standards =)

Got one, this is it?

Yes! Thats the video ad...there is a print version too.

And I got the other :)
