Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii a prop in Gillette commerical (Fusion razor, staring NASCAR Young Guns)

mike_intellivision on 16 February 2009

I was watching the Daytona 500 Sunday and one of the commericals featured the "Gillette Young Guns" (younger drivers who receive sponsorship funds from Gillette for their Fusion razo. In the commercial, the drivers break into a race track, power the big screen scoreboard with a razor, and start playing a game on their Wii. Neither the console nor the game -- NASCAR Kart Racing by EA -- are mentioned in the ad.  But they are there.

I could not find a video of it on the net. But I did find some some PR about it:

During the off-season, Busch was welcomed to the Gillette Young Guns team when he participated in a two-day ad shootto support the launch of the gaming-inspired Gillette Fusion Power Gamer, which features Fusion’s 5-bladed shaving surface for unsurpassed comfort and a sleek new look. The spot, titled ‘Jumbotron,’ was created by BBDO NY, features all six Gillette Young Guns. Airing for the first time during the FOX telecast of the Daytona 500, ‘Jumbotron’ follows the Gillette Young Guns as they attempt to sneak into the race track and play video games from atop a motorcoach.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Thats good advertising, pity the game is completely fu--ked bcoz MK is the king



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

They aren't advertising the EA game that well, a future customer could think it was Mario Kart instead of their game.
