Nintendo is well known for their marketing prowess, but recently their commercials seem to have gotten very tame. What happened to the edgy Nintendo of the 1990's? Their commercials were cool, inventive, and sometimes bizarre.

Compare this:

Here's what Sega did to counter Nintendo during the 90's:

Both Nintendo and Sega were making these crazy commercials that were actually inventive. Nintendo has lost their "cool" recently in my eyes.

@V8_Ninja
What are you talking about? I deleted my old post cause it was in the wrong thread. I decided to make my own thread specifically about this topic.

You know, if they didn't show the Game Boy Advance at the end, I'd have no idea it was a video game commercial. That commercial had nothing to do with the game they were trying to advertise.

They should bring back the people wearing Mario costumes in their commercials.
