What I like about Nintendo ads is that they let the game speak for itself rather than being some super jazzed up hollywood style mega production.

This is the game and this is people playing it.

lol the wii zapper ads are so lame... they show about 20 shots of people standing up playing with the zapper, always with a person next to them pointing at the screen saying 'look there!'

the ads are so bad that they're good. the ads are FUN.

we may not notice ourselves when we are playing, but we probably look like the people in the ads. try watching other people play, sometimes it can be funny!

i have more laughs watching my kids play the Wii than watching the game itself

They are still trying to let everyone know that Wii is a console for friends and family.
A lot of people still don't know

I hate the ads too. Metroid Prime was hte one i hated the most.

I dont hate the ads, but i dont think they make people run out and buy a wii or get the game that they're advertising....
They're simply, kinda... Boring.

yeah i see where you're coming from we probably do look like that when we play but nintendo just should film the actors playing the game instead of getting them to act (badly) in front of a camera

speaking of ads, has anyone seen an ad for a game (any game, any platform, any year) that made you really excited and enticed you to buy the game?

I never get to see them on television, they never show them down here But I hate how they always concentrate so much on what the silly people are doing, and not so much on the gameplay itself. I don't know why they'd choose to focus on how silly you're going to look, other than what you'll be looking at! I guess it shows you'll be having fun though.

I don't know why someone would say you didn't like the Metroid one though, that's probably one of the less silly that I've seen. But lol to the way he says Metroid... Prime..etc. at the end - sounds like a robot, or was that the intention?

Ahh, well maybe that's why I'm not seeing them! Only Pay TV? They don't show them on normal tele? I would of thought, being a console for "everyone", they'd want to advertise it to "everyone"!
