If Nintendo wants their games to sell better they should not only advertise before the game comes out like they always do, but they should also advertise after the game is out. I havn't seen a Metroid commercial forever.

I tend to agree with you, although I think we need to remember that running an advertising campaign isn't easy or cheap. Nintendo has to consider marketing for around ten other games this year. But still, I think you're right. I'm still seeing Blinx and Sly Cooper ads on TV every Saturday morning, Mario should be up there too.

Hah, I love how you mentioned those ads. Nintendo is accused of being kiddy, while the most notable commercial you mention for the Gamecube is Metroid. On the other hand, XBox and PS2 are famous for Blinx and Sly Cooper.

I mostly see Panzar Dragoon commercials, and GTA: VC commercial. This is mainly on TNN, MTV, Comedy Central.

The time in which your viewing is probably why your seeing those ads.

I see tons of "The Getaway" ads and quite a few "Panzer Dragoon Orta" ads. That's about it.

I have seen that "free game for GameCube" one a couple of times, though.

The only commercials I see are for DOA extreme volleyball, and the free gamecube one. both of them on the commedy channel. then again thats the only channel i watch

Yea, the only commericals I see are for Panzer Dragoon Orta, the Getaway, or DOAXV. I've seen about 1 Nintendo commerical this month.

When I was watching RAW on TNN Monday night, I must've seen the Free Game add at least six or seven times in a two hour timespan. I think THAT'S pretty good.

i saw a metroid commercial this week on mtv and thats saying something because the only time i watch tv during school is for sports. maybe it was pure conicidence, but whatever. its sad to say it, but the difference is advertising right now. but i actually find myself not caring as much, because nintendo knows how to balance its budget. i dont have a masters in buisness management. so i will give them credit cuz they are still putting out good games.

well, i haven't seen a gamecube add at all in quite a long time, several months infact, if you dont get many ads in america, you get almost none in australia

not that i have seen anyway, they did have some good ones for ssbm, rouge leader and a few other launch titles, and perhaps i saw one for mario sunshine... i cant quite recall

but as for Blinx/Sly Cooper omg talk about saturation =\ love or hate the game, seeing thoes adds almost every add break has got to ware on you

shockingalberto: nice call on the nintendo = kiddy theory

I see that free game commercial on constantly, they show it mostly on the more new oriented channels it seems. I don't see many Xbox or Ps2 commercials, but I also watch probably 2 hours of TV a week.

Well maybe its different for different areas, but where I live (NY), the damn gamecube with a free game/zelda commercials won't stop.
I never thought Nintendo would ever OVER advertise. And the fact that i spent $200 on my cube and now its $150 WITH a free game does sorta piss me off.

Agent · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2003, 11:33:08 AM »

Yeah, I forgot about that getaway commercial too.

Of the commercials named I've probably seen the most from top to bottom.

Panzar Dragoon
The Getaway
150 pricecut commercial
GTA Vice City
DOA: XBVB
Blinx

As for that Sly Cooper. Never heard of it. If I saw the commercial I wouldn't know. I'm not up on saturday mornings.

I agree i still see GTA commercials yet no more Metroid commercials

BrianSLA · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2003, 11:35:13 PM »

I see DOA XVB almost every night on Howard Stern on E! Yup good marketing choice.

I'm surprised to hear Ninetendo got an ad during Joe Millionaire. I read in the newspaper that Joe did the second best rating since the Superbowl which is huge and great for Nintendo.
