Something called Sky Force Reloaded is coming to the Switch.

@Ralizah That actually looks really good!

@Spoony_Tech Yeah, I could dig a good modern shmup. The announcement tweet showed off a picture with box art in it, so it's possible the game may even receive a physical release.

Where was all this effort put in commercials during the Wii U era?A lot of the games shown originated from that console.

@Randomname19 Held back for the Switch, apparently

@Randomname19 I was about to post this. I don't like it. But that's just me, I hate fake schmaltz. Strange that FIFA 18 was shown in there as the only 3rd party effort out of the 7 shown. Almost like they know it's bombed but they better show EA that they're trying to promote it. Ads need to be on TV not just Youtube. I see them because I go looking, casuals don't. And I still haven't seen a single ad on TV, thought that might change with SMO but no. Assassin's Creed ads are on all the time.

@Ralizah Wowsers! Nice post! It might be my ears, but the audio is very StarGhost (on Wii U). The voice acting and music feels so familiar.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I've seen Nintendo Switch ads in the UK during ITV & Channel 4 primetime on The X Factor and The Great British Bake Off.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE There's Switch ads all the time here in the US. Over the summer they were pretty much the only video game commercials (little bit of PlayStation for Uncharted, zero Xbox).

The past few weeks they've been airing fairly frequent ads for Super Mario Odyssey, FE Warriors, and NBA 2K18. The 2K commercials are on pretty often during the nationally televised NBA games too.

@Ralizah I was hooked on that SkyForce for a while a couple of years back. For a mobile shoot-em-up it's really good. I always thought it would really benefit from having proper controls and I recall saying I'd like to see it come to Wii U on here a couple of years ago. I look forward to it's arrival.

I've seen a few Switch ads in the UK since I've been back and I hardly watch the TV. Only really when I'm having my dinner.

Imagine how well 'Baking Mama' would sell over here!

You joke, but the Switch would be a great place for some of Nintendo's DS franchises.

Like... Rhythm Heaven?

I haven't seen any TV ads for switch. But that is because I never look at ordinary TV.

I have seen ads in the cinema though.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I take it PS4 ads are dominant on RTÉ.

@MegaTen Do we have a Dutch/Belgium “On Sale” thread? Because we should.

Super Beat Sports is almost just like Rhythm Heaven, if anyone was hungry for that type of experience. I liked the demo and bought it

Why? Most 'millennials' don't watch much TV and what they do watch they're watching pre-recorded with the ads resembling a very quick and very quiet flip show.

If you want to target the sub 30 year old demographic (particularly the sub 30 year olds who spend money on video games) then YouTube is a better place to spend your advertising money.

There's still a place for TV ads but the people who tend to sit through ads on TV in 2017 tend to be of a different demographic. They're typically older, less tech savy and are definitely not early adoptors for video game consoles.

I see a bunch of those ads. Back when my little sister and I used to watch more TV, we saw a bunch of commercials on Disney XD and Cartoon Network. I've also seen several on YouTube and Twitch pop up, and advertisements on other websites.
