Nintendo Ds Adverts, TV and Print [UPDATED]

US TV advert
A little bit <_<;;
Some gameplay video would have been better in my opinion...

Here's the print advert. I actually like this one:


Hopefully there will also be some more informative ads, with gameplay footage and screenshots.

Your opinions?

EDIT: Forgot this wierd form of advertising wrestling

This boxart looks much better than previous images I've seen.

Oh yes. And it's great that the boxes are like DVD cases, but small. Much better than crappy cardboard boxes. I wonder if these boxes will only be in Japan though

Nintendo should never, ever again use cardboard boxes. It'll be terrible if they use mini-dvd cases in Japan but cardboard boxes in America and Europe.

Well, that's sort of what they did with the GBA classic NES ports. Nice collectable solid packaging in Japan, crappy and cheap boxes elsewhere -_-

But with cardboard, the games could be cheaper...

EDIT: Did you watch that tv advert? Right now I'm thinking about it and shivering. I really really hope it's fake, even though I know it's real ;-;

I like that site you linked too. The commercial is meh.

Ah, sweet.

Though the games are still small/.

Japanese Mario 64 DS box art
I think I prefer this one. I think both are good anyway.

Looks good.

Btw, that site you posted in that pic;

Look what they say about graphics. What a n00bs... They don't understand that they look like that when showing them in computer.

My god, that has to be THE worst commercial I've ever seen. Heck, the poptarts commercials they have currently showing are better...

*shivers*
But the print ad is quite nice, no? I think so.

Yes, the print ad is fine. But they need to stop making it sound like all it has is the ability for you to "touch" the game. :o

I can think of better ways to waste 30 seconds of my life, and that DS commercial isn't one of them.

However, the print ad's kinda cool, and the SM64DS boxarts only make me want to get the game even more.

SP look at these.

Nice. This is great hype generation. Hopefully people will get the idea because they didn't really show it in action, but then again those commercials will most likely come later.

Not what I was expecting, but hey, you can't expect a hot chick cosplaying as a DS to be making out to the camera, right? Oh well, great commercial! It didn't suck, well done!

Very cool, and catches your attention well with the "snow".

Hahaha. Nintendo just told their fans to stop touching themselves. Owned.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.
