Thinking about it now... I can't even think of a great Nintendo hype trailer. Maybe Skyward Sword?

Maybe not hype, but I think this is one of the most epic trailers/reveals ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz2LJ-4DDWU

I'll take a classy, timeless trailer over something attempting to be relevant any day.

There IP will never be cool like that. What they really need is new IP that is cool. And by cool, I mean mainstream. And my mainstream, I mean western developed and AAA. And by that, I'm basically plugging my own thread on roughly the same subject.

I know what you mean, but imagine a legend of zelda trailer where Link is basically legolas, that's cool for the mainstream market. I think that Nintendo has a lot of cool stuff, but the portrayal is not so cool. A new AAA IP  would help too, but again, the portrayal is what matters for the hype.

I think the only way they can build mainstream hype is by making a IP that uses realistic characters like the games of today. Wii U games play like living cartoons which is awesome to me. But most mainstream gamers won't be interested in it. Wii U as it stands now is perfect for the IPs they're making. But to make a mainstream hype game, they will most likely need improved hardware to back it up.

Outside of a few IP how do u expect Nintendo to make their games "cool"? How do they make Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Party, Captain Toad, Donkey Kong appeal to the mainstream crowd?

the games are cool, the thread is more about the presentation... smash bros for wii u is the perfect example with all the fantastic trailers.

just look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgmC56ndgeg

Link never should, or will be like Legolas, though. Link doesn't need to be cool for the mainstream market. If they want something like that, they need to make make something new, rather than change something old into something it doesn't naturally evolve into.

Whatchu talkin' about? Nintendo is the coolest. Video gaming is uncool, therefore the most popular video game platfroms are the most uncool, therefore Nintendo is the coolest.

Until Wii U outsells PSV of course, then Sony becomes the coolest, but Nintendo is still pretty cool.

Leaving disappointed.

Huh, I didn't know Disney was considered cool in the gaming industry. I havn't played one of their games since forever but I do agree that Nintendo needs to hire a marketing team that doesn't suck and not use Comic Sans on anything anymore

Disney owns Marvel, therefore Disney owns Ironman, therefore Disney owns Robert Downey Junior, therefore Disney is cool.
