Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart Wii commercials - What was Nintendo thinking?

Haha that's so 90s. It's right on the border between "Outright awful" and "So awful it's awesome." I think the nostalgia of the over-the-top 90s commercials has pushed this to awesome for me, but I'm sure the younger kids won't get it.

THAT WAS AWESOME



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Its attention grabbing thats for sure.

What is it with gaming companies and completely fucked up advertising?



I liked 'em.



It was kinda funny, but I don't think it's a very effective way to sell a game. I also think if Sony tried pulling something like this everybody would jump all over them.

Who knows, the only reason to advertise this game is to let people know this game is released and that it comes with a wheel, they don't even need to show the game itself off. I think it would have been better to do an all-gameplay commercial showing all the characters going at it mixed with some old catchy 80's song.

That's about right, but it reminded me of that annoying "Vern Fonk" commercial.
