The end of ......... *Japanese weird music starts up* "Wii would like to play."
I ask this because of the Wii fit commercial. Not a "Wii would like to play" as I (and I guess everyone else) thought. I personally thought it was at least a better commercial than a Wii would like to play commercial.
So, do you think Nintendo is starting to change their advertising?
-
Um, the Wii came out almost two years ago, so I imagine they have good reason to "change their advertising."
-
I think most of us here are already pretty keen on Nintendo, so it doesn't matter whether their commercials are good or not. We're already convinced!
-
Well, the MKW ad was bad, but at least it wasn't "Wii Would Like to Play". Surprisingly (or not, depending on how you look at it), I haven't seen the Wii Fit ad yet, but I'm not surprised it doesn't utilize the WWLtP guys (those ads seem to have been for the more "active" games, which is pretty ironic...).
-
The Wii Would Like To Play ads aren't that good anyway.
-
I agree. They never really advertise the game so much as show people playing the game. You don't go out and buy some people so they can play a game while you watch.
-
WHAT?!?!?! Those guys rule! Their Japanese, they go up to random people saying "Wii would like to play.", and they have Beetle (I think...) that has a Bullet Bill on the side!
-

Because Nintendo places more emphasis on gameplay than game... game. Looked at the back of a Wii/DS box lately?

The Wii Would Like to Play campaign already ended a long time ago, unfortunately.
-
I still need to get the song from those commercials.
-
The first time my parents saw one of those Wii Would Like To Play commercials, they asked me "Do you know those Japanese guys? Are they from Nintendo?" I didn't know. I wish they were. But after a while I found the commercials more annoying than inviting. I'm sure my parents would go O_o if they saw one of the Raving Rabbid ads. Rabbid is playing around with a Wii remote, then goes "DAAAAAAAH!!" for no reason. I wonder why I haven't seen any of those on TV. I saw plenty of Rayman 3 commercials though.
-
The only thing I liked about those commercials was the Bullet Bill on the side of their car.
-
The Mario Kart Wii commercial reminded me of Vern Fonk for some reason. The guy in the cowboy outfit sounds just like the cowboy guy in that one Vern Fonk commercial. Man do I hate that guy.
-
Wii never had good advertising but it had good puns like "I would like to with your Wii" and "French people really like to play with their Wii's" "Wanna play with my Wii" The second one is bad but I heard it alot.
-
Are you sure you don't mean "has"?
-
"I would like to with your Wii"
Like to what with my Wii?
WHAT ARE PLANNING TO DO WITH MY WII?!
-
I say good riddance to that campaign. I prefer unique commercials individualized for each game with actual gameplay footage instead of people playing. Mario Kart Wii is a good example, as was Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.
-
If they made the MKW commerical with music from the main menu it would rock.
