@Therad I tend to lose myself in arguments, tis true. I simply value a good big screen experience and a nice pro-controller, and it'd be sad to see this option disappear from Nintendo's platforms and games, no matter the factor that would cause it. The Switch is probably the best, albeit for now only, compromise between handheld and home-console, even if the compromises mean the machine itself loses in strength and storage via cartridges and limited space. I understand that Nintendo has a hard time supporting 2 platforms with their games, and that this is one of the few ways they can still have a piece of the home-console market, while leveraging their handheld supremacy. I can only hope they will retain their interest in the home-console market, and that there are enough that use the Switch as I do to maintain it's lucrativeness to Nintendo.

@BLP_Software It's amazing how we can go for months without knowing something like this. I wish I read japanese.

@BLP_Software I don't see anything about exclusive marketing. And we can safely say they don't if they can show switch commercials.

I seen Switch commercials at the movies last night. Advertising Pokken, Splatoon2 and a 5 minute feature on Super Mario Odyssey.

Heh, so what I take from this, 1,2, Switch has almost completely disappeared from advertisement?

Is evolving your product a bad thing?

Where would we be if Nintendo hadn't abandoned its Hanafuda card heritage?

I remembered another Direct possibility, a season pass announcement for Fire Emblem Warriors with pre-Awakening teases. It's the only way to stop the Awakening + Fates + Marth discussions.

I haven't seen a single Switch ad on TV at all and that's the God honest truth. I seen Wii U ads back at its launch though they quickly disappeared, the last one I seen was for MK8. I see PS4 ads on TV all the time.

On Youtube I've been seeing an increasing number of Samus Returns ads. I think that's their main advertising focus at the moment.

You know, I just checked Metacritic - of the 58 Switch games that have received 7 or more review scores, 1-2-Switch ranks as the 7th worst! :/ ..probably not much of a system seller! (..or maybe it's just ahead of its time? )

(EDIT) I have seen quite a few ads for the Switch since its been out though - there was one for 1-2-Switch at one point (with kids playing it at a barbecue) but I can't say that I've seen that in a while - I seem to see more ads giving a general overview of the console at the moment, rather than targeting specific games...

I've seen lots of ads for the Switch recently, including ads for 1-2 Switch. It was definitely advertised to kids for the school Summer Hols and BBQ parties etc. I've seen a few Splatoon2 ones too, and MK8 still.

At Copenhagen airport with 6 hours to kill, I pulled out my Switch but no hot blonde has come sat next to me. A few have walked past me and one even smiled but she never sat down. False advertising from Nintendo, I'll be writing a complaint.

Here in the US I've seen a ton of Switch ads. Right now though it's mostly the Splatoon 2 commercial on the kids channels. The advertising on the more adult channels (Comedy Central, Spike, Adult Swim, etc) is for Samus Returns right now. The New 2DS XL ads seem to have stopped already (and they were running two completely different ads for it too).

I never said otherwise. What I said was in the commercials, when the "click" or "snap" or whatever you call it happens at the end, it happens as the joycons go in and the system pushes into the dock

@BLP_Software
Again, for like the 3rd time. I never said the noise happens when you dock it I am fully aware no noise happens when you dock it (probably just because that's how real life works, can't feasibly make a sound switching to TV and back). What I said, is in the advertisements at the end , the console pushes into the system as the joycons come down and they give the trademark snap.

Should I repeat it again for you?

There doesn't have to be a separate sound from docking it. Clicking in the joycons symbolizes all of that. Which is why the ads show the system pushing into the dock at the same time as the snap.
