A bit of nudity, but it's blurred out. Pretty cool ad I think.

I really didnt like that ad at all. It seriously seemed fake. With the crap music and random shots of breasts and what not.

I dunno. Considering the US print ads I could see that ad working in Europe where the human body doesn't have the negative images that the US is hung up on.

Ehh I didn't like it. It was just a whole bunch of little clips, I hate unorganized commercials (if that makes sense).

They could've taken advantage of that, had two people kissing and touching each other and then go everybody likes to touch..... Nintendo. Instead they made it an acid trip of people touching.

I don't think those ads could work on me, or anyone else I knew looking for a powerful handheld. :roll:

If they wanted to brush off the "kiddy" image... all they had to do was add more features (like what the PSP did)... this is one reason why I am not very interested in spending money on the DS, because I want something multifunctional which would mean more value IMO.

Pure LOLZ. And to think Europe knows more about T&A. LOL. Europe please advise. I think this is more a lack of sophistiction on the ad team in charge. Oh and now for some more LOLZ ~~~> my portable gaming machine is more grown up then yours. WEEEEEEEEEEE!

Er, anyhow.

That was pretty damn stupid. About at the point where the bling bling showed up I decided to exit. Not even worth watching through. Seriously, that made no sense whatsoever. I had the feeling that this wasn't "kiddy" so much as "juvenile" with the happy look and...stuff.

On the other hand, it wasn't emo. That's a bonus.

Yeah I agree, that was pretty lame - and also odd at the same time. What's up with the boob shot near the end?? Nintendo really doesn't know how to handle things very it seems, this could have been a conversation in a board meeting:

GUY1: We need to lose our "kiddie image" and appeal to an older demographic.

GUY2: I know! Let's make an online system for our games, try to get 3rd party companies to release quality software that rivals the competition, stop making purple consoles, and actually try to listen to what the market is saying!

GUY1: No, no, no.. what we need is... *strokes chin* .. boobies.

:roll:
