Forums - Nintendo - Sega marketing for the Wii

Is it just me or does it seem like Sega is pulling out all the stops to market Mad World?

I am used to these type of campaigns for similar games on the PS3 and/or Xbox 360. I am used to seeing something for more "family friendly" offerings on the Wii -- both first and third party. But I cannot recall seeing an M-rated game for the Wii get the "big ad" treatment before now. 

Please note that I felt this way before seeing the logo change -- and Sega-sponsored contest -- on this webpage.  To me, that just proves the point that Sega is working to get the word out about this game through many channels that others have not tried before when trying to sell a game on the Wii that was different.

Hopefully, they will be rewarded for their efforts (and we will be rewarded too with a wider variety of games on the Wii).

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.

BE happy for Sega bro !



I saw a Madworld cmmercial at about 3 am this morning. If anything, I think SEGA is trying to get ahold of adults.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I sure hope so. While I've no problem with the family friendly games it will be a shame if a great game like MadWorld can't sell, especially with all the effort Sega is putting behind it.

While I'm sure it'll have legs, so far HoTD:Overkill's sales leave something to be desired.



 

Well they make mario and sonic Olympics in which sold alots of copies. So in my opinion nintendo and Sega has some kind of exclusive deal to each other. I am predicting another mario and sonic olympics will come out this fall its a cash machine and sega knows it they kinda using nintendo.

This is the commercial. Looks sweet, and still applicable for broadcasting at any time of the day.

Full on commercial could help but I expect this game to sell on legs. The first week sales will be disappointing. If it get's over 75K first week I'd be very surprised

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
