Topic: Nintendo gives out free Wii Us on the Ellen show

http://playeressence.com/wii-u-gets-major-advertising-from-a-... Very brilliant move. This exposes Wii U to an audience of over 4 million viewers

I think you're overrating this idea.

Never watched the Ellen show, how come about 99% of the audience is women?

^ Because she is a feminist! xD

I watch the Ellen show. It's a good show. Wouldn't say it's directed towards women.

They were giving away WiiU Dev kits on Dr. Phil.

LOL.

there are some guys in her audience. Frankly I find her hilarious.

It's a good show with a large reach. Also a much more youthful audience than Oprah ever attracted and when she did stuffs everyone thought that was a big deal. So this is good.

Frankly I'm more annoyed that she gave out Beats headphones than I am happy she gave out Wii Us. Beats are garbage, hand out some Sennheisers or something. Especially if you're doing $100 earbuds.

I believe the correct term is "not a bigot". People seem to like those people

Yeah, as far as Daytime talkshows go, hers was far from the worst I'd encounter. And yeah, that's good advertising regardless, seeing as she has a large audience.

well, that's a lot of moms who just found out what Wii U was, at least. I wonder if Nintendo and Ellen showcased Wii Fit U, then...

Anyway, Ellen DeGeneres is a hilarious comic. She has the same sense of humor that I have

Thanks for that. I'm always happy to see sanity in the forums.

I recommended Nintendo get Wii U on the Ellen Show about 3 or 4 moths ago and have those little brit girls play some games. Free consoles are even better. Probably too little too late, but maybe, just maybe, Nintendo can still sell enough Wii U to keep making games for it. That's all I care about at this point, the games keep on coming. I don't know if that means 10, 20 or 30 mil, I just dont want another Dreamcast.

Relevant part of my post from Sept 21:

"The commercials should run during Ellen, everybody loves Ellen. Ellen playing Sports Club online w/ those 2 little girls in England would be the best marketing money they could ever spend."

Here's the important part of the Ellen clip if anybody is interested:

If anyody wants 1 Gamestop has this bundle for $249 after Christmas.

lol ellen is the worlds greatest wannabe stand up comedian

i feel sorry for the audience for having to sit through her show to get a free wii u. thats why i bought mine.

Yeah I would buy a Wii U on my own way before I sat through one of her shows for a free one.

This is a decent way to advertise- Liked the fact that they partnered with Southwest too. TV commercials are a waste, IMO b/c of DVRs. this will have a bigger impact and more depth. I'm sure this got some media play and then there will be a ripple effect from the people who won.

Because her show appeals to women, kinda like how the show Loose Women mostly appeals to women (and the odd old perv lusting after Carol Vorderman's bewbs).

I need to get me some tickets to the Ellen Show lol

Tell me about it. 99% of "famous" musicians are absolutely atrocious. I'm more musically talented than any of those fools, really, but I'm not getting paid millions

I found headphones just as good as Beats for $60 on Amazon. People are paying for Dr. Dre's name to be on the box. It's a ****ing rip off, to say the least. My cousin got them, and you better believe that I was outraged.

EDIT: On topic... Good job Ellen/Nintendo.

Still D 2 da R.E. has the best beats in the industry
