[racecar]

did anyone seen the new commercials for nintendo , i saw two so far ( the hindu family"mushrooms" and the homeless guy with the shopping cart) . I hope the parents don't get the bad/wrong impression of nintendo...do you people( guys/ladies) think that it might back fire on nintendos campain to reach more new/young gamers?? i just find it funny/odd when i first saw it !!

What channel was it on?

[badinsults]

I saw the one with the parents crying that their son was talking about "mushrooms", and that they didn't know what "Nintendo" meant. Freaking hilarious.

For those of us who haven't seen the commercials, can you maybe describe them? Tell us what they are like, what is said, and what happens that might give people "the wrong impression" of Nintendo?

or maybe link us to their locations online. Nintendo usually hosts their commercials online, but usually requires a bit of digging at nintendo.com to find 'em.

mushrooms> show 2 parents(hindu) speaking(accent) about of how great of a family they have with their son(camera shot over family picture,shows unhappy child(son) with family) then parents(mother) continue to talk about how a good kid there son is...then one day she(mother) heard their son talking to his friends about"mushrooms"(the mother stall to said "mushrooms, if was filled in by the dad then the mother broke down to tears.. then they continue to talk about when they were young they don't even know what nintendo was>>>( iam trying to explained the best i can )
the second one >>>( homeless hobo(guy) with shopping cart) shows the boys childhood of a happy childhood (playing game)then come nintendo > he( teen) moved out lived on the streets playing game.. then torn clothes long hair(garbage pile) then he push a shopping cart around with lots of T.V's on it asking people for power(electricity) then a night he steals power from plug in on peoples lawns( pushing the shoppingcart with t,v attatch to it) some guy turn on their porch light (hobo run's off with the shopping cart)>> sorry people iam trying my best to describe them(cause i can't find the damn liink)
the reason that these commercial might give people the wrong impression ,is that the theme of child (hindu) disobidience and hobo(homeless cause he play too much games) haha.. some tech person please find the link !!

Wasn't there a website that had all sorts of game advertisments? I remember it's where I got my Tales of Symphonia japanese ad (the website had all regions)

Maybe they have this up

i just saw the one with the guy and the shopping cart.....my mom says thats me in about ten years . but that was truly a great commercial :P

I think this campaign might be in Canada only, not 100% sure though.

At the end of the ads there is a website address, toomuchfun.ca

Which commercial? Each one has a different commercial as far as i recall. I know the commercial for the NES GBA had Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine" in the background. Don't remember the other ones offhand.
