Forums - Nintendo - Ninty did it again! Advertising Wario Land by giving free gas X3

Our friends at Nintendo were nice enough to send over a video that documents the Mobile gas station launch event for Wario Land: Shake It!. We already posted some pictures from the event, but this video does a much better job of showing the public response, as well as impressions from some of the lucky attendees. Whether people stopped in to check out Wario, grab free gas, or both…it seems like everyone had a great time.

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

Nintendo is really pushing the game. Let's hope it sells well in America and Europe (in Japan was not terrible but could be better)

As long as they don't do it in the centre of London.

Lol, this is simply brilliant, the guys who did the pr for wario should be doing all ninty games



How can you possibly misspell QWERTY? It's spelled correctly on the damn keyboard.

this shows that nintendo is actually still caring about the hardcore gamers because of this and what they did with kirby.
i hope they keep pushing advertising.

Not a bad idea at all. Advertising of a new Nintendo game, free gas (probably the best part), and lots of fun all at one place.

What I really like that people in there like the game as much as the free gas

Ya, Nintendo is getting very creative with the ads for this game. First, the super crazy youtube ad, and now this. Lots of good PR is going in to the game so far for the NA release. I hope it sells well.



Just kiss the tip.
