Ok.... Nintendo has some weird ways to get their message across.
- I had unfortunately seen that Zelda one for Famicom before (Zelda's a dance game isn't it? icon_rolleyes.gif, LOL)
- Mario Kart Ad, i think they took that one too far, but it makes sense (in a way)
- DS: Touch Secretary, quite a bit rude....... I like it
- DS: Restaurant; actually one of the better DS adds out there, very clever
- DS: Power of the Finger; just plain weird, don't like it much (except for the bit about the train & the Skateboard stuff)
- Good Majora's Mask ad, never seen that one before, & much better than the other ones i've seen

Why is it that we don't see Tv Ad's like this in the land down under?
Is it cause we really aren't important to the game industry?

Its probably the budget Nintendo Australia gets on advertising .. not as much as our Europeans and American friends by the looks of things.

oh and by the way .. to keep upto date with ads .. i found a video game ad website .. why didn't i think of searching for this.. DOH ! ..

Heres the link

Has the biggest range of american, japanese and european ads

Most things posted here are already posted or talked about once. I'm glad someone else gets annoyed about it as well.

Well its a common fact that eventually your going get posts that repeat each other as forums grow. Its very hard for everyone to know what other people have posted in previous threads. Best bet is is to not read these topics and find topics you haven't read about before. Plus new information about the topic can be posted by somebody that you haven't read about before so its always a plus instead of digging up really old topics.

i have no idea what youre on about. i was only kidding when i said i was annoyed icon_smile.gif

it doesnt matter if you post a topic thats already been done, just as long as the other one has been long forgotten. this is a good thread because it hasnt been talked about (well, not to my knowledge anyway).

Does anybody else think that the model playing Lara in that Visa comercial is just the hottest babe ever?

I remember seeing that ad when it was on TV a while back and thinking the exact same thing. Strange... Now if she was playing Lara Croft in the movies instead of Angelina Jolie, then maybe I would have actually gone to see them. Not that there is anything wrong with Miss Jolie.

I used to love the old Nintendo Ads, that looked like a scene out of the Aliens movie. Anyone remember them?

And the bloke goes on about 'We could paint it red, red is the fastest colour..'

An ad for Super Mario Sunshine.

After watching that, I hid in the corner of my room, tucked up in a fetal position and gibbered incoherently for an hour. Then I mustered up the courage to post it on this board. I will not be held responsible for any form of permanant psychological trauma that is inflicted after watching that.
