Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch Trailer Music: White Denim - Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah) vs. Imagine Dragons - Believer

 

The better trailer/commercial music?

So the Nintendo Switch Super Bowl commercial was released, and I immediately noticed was that they used Imagine Dragons for the background music.

While I'm not really a fan of Imagine Dragons (I can't stand Radioactive,) I do have to credit Nintendo for their good choice of music when it comes to these big trailers for their new console, both this and their initial launch trailer, and it gives the impression that Nintendo is really trying to show a new attitude to the public eye.

I am curious, which song do you think was better in terms of getting people to go out, buy, and play a Switch?

 

White Denim - Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah): Has a playful nature and conveys the message of being yourself, relaxing and "trying to have a good time." (Played during the launch trailer.)

Imagine Dragons - Believer: Has a more serious nature, and conveys the message that despite their downfalls, Nintendo is doing their best to make sure we the consumers believe in their new toy. (Played during Super Bowl Commercial.)



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I like Believer better, something about it gets me hyped to play games.



                                                                                     

I think they're both pretty good, but I think I prefer the Imagine Dragons song, also really suits the Super Bowl by sounding more epic too!

I think the Imagine Dragons trailer and song are much better at imparting the feeling of something major and note-worthy, which makes people pay attention. I thought it was the better trailer in pretty much all ways.



Was going to post it. Definetly much better marketing that the WiiU

White Denim song is more memorable and way less pretentious, but both did a good job in their trailers.



I like Believer more.



I hate both songs.



Believer is the better of the two.



Nintendo has seriously shut my criticism about lack of marketing. Can't say I'm skeptical about switch's success anymore
