Forums - Nintendo - So I Was Watching the Western Conference Playoffs and....

I was watching Spurs vs Thunder game 6 today and there was a commercial break. I was watching and then.................a Mario Kart 8 commorcial appear and flipped. I was so surprised that Nintendo would advertise Mario Kart 8 on TNT during a Playoff game. Like Woah! What do you guys think?

I think Nintendo save all their ad efforts this year for this game!



I think they should advertise during "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic"



Yeah I saw an ad here in Aus, Nintendo are actually better than MS and Sony at advertising games here on TV. Problem with the MK8 ad is its terrible.



I thought the ad was decent, but it wasn't great. I remember they also had the same issue with some wii games (metroid prime 3). This was the first Nintendo tv spot I have seen since Super Mario 3d world. Here in the us, you definitely see more of a tv presence for Xbox and playstation.

Wow that's great! They finally start marketing to people other than kids.

Hopefully it doesn't flop like Lebron James. I know that he plays in the Eastern Conference, but my point still stands.
