Nintendo's commercials over time - General Discussion Forum

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: [youtube:z9tB4NpQ184&feature=related] [youtube:cn3EAVpOdro] [youtube:1Mu9vYLSpkg&feature=related] [youtube:tE5b7quzbsc&NR=1] [youtube:AcKP9mS5NKE&feature=related] To this: [youtube:UP-THj03Zk4] Here's what Sega did to counter Nintendo during the 90's: [youtube:A7SlPTarOD4] Both Nintendo and Sega were making these crazy commercials that were actually inventive. Nintendo has lost their "cool" recently in my eyes. :D

I didn't even know Nintendo had commercials anymore, except for the rare pokemon ones. /sarcasm Seriously, why doesn't Nintendo advertise more now?

@SuperLink

That Majora's Mask commercial is one of the best I've ever seen.

Nintendo needs to advertise more, and not just show a bunch of "families" playing in a white room together. That's just so fake-looking I want to puke.

Or having kids dress up to put on a play just to buy a DS Lite. I bet you setting up the play cost more than the system itsself. (genius!)

Go Leafs Go!
