1. No "either or" stuff. That would be saying the competition offers this but we offer that. It can sound good in theory but the problem is then it makes people choose. It makes people think about what the competition offers and Nintendo is the odd man out and their "method" is probably going to be seen as the weird one. Plus this kind of wording assumes that you agree with Nintendo and that the PS3/X360 way of doing things is bad. A lot of people think it's pretty good. Saying Nintendo is offering something totally different might turn them off. I want "better" but I don't want "different". That suggests what I like from before isn't there. Change is scary. Don't directly mention change.
2. Don't make out that gaming as it exists is broken. I don't think it is and a lot of people don't think it is. We don't need two-failures-in-a-row old fuddy duddy Nintendo telling us otherwise. Gaming as is is very popular and it's best that the Rev doesn't look like it's going to fix what ain't broke. I don't even think the "new way of gaming" would be good. The "future of gaming is here" isn't so bad. But don't make out like existing gaming sucks because it doesn't.
3. No challenges to the consumer. "Are you brave enough?" "Do you dare?" Stuff like that. I think the Rev concept is pretty scary so don't draw attention to how scary and unknown it is. It should be the opposite, very welcoming. After all it is supposed to attract those who are "intimidated" by gaming so adapting it should be easy not some brave challenge.
4. No "who are you?" The only people who identify with Nintendo's franchises are existing fans and there's no point in targeting them with marketing. Nintendo is often accused of rehashing and I felt the whole "who are you?" campaign just confirmed that for everyone. Plus it was such a flop for the Cube I think it would so stupid to continue to use it. Plus the Rev is supposed to be innovative. How can it be innovative if it's just the same games from 1985 all over again? If you asked a gamer today "Who are you?" They would respond "Master Chief" or "that guy from GTA". Nintendo sadly hasn't been relevant for quite a few years now so few gamers are really going to associate themselves with characters they're barely familiar with or they associate as childish.

Start A Revolution (transition to power button)
graphic transitions on the "on" letters -- Innovation > Immersion > Revolution
A cool visual would be to make it seem like an underground movement set in a post-apocalyptic climate. Silhouettes of helicopters in the sky, the military setting up wired fences, people trying to break through or climb over them. Police dogs barking. Looks like a riot scene. Shots of people running into an abandoned factory. Cut to shots of people moving their controllers around (exaggerated movements like in the Revolution teaser) mixed with game footage. Cut to logo. A little dramatic, but it's cool.

"Now you're playing with power!"
"...Super Power!"
"The Best Play Here!"
"Play It Loud!"
"Change The System!"
"Get N Or Get Out!"
"Who Are You?"
etc.
Especially the memorable NES and Super NES ones (except maybe the Super Metroid-only "The Best Play Here" that didn't last very long). The montage could have quick cuts of recognizeable games, and memorable commercials like the two kids playing The Legend Of Zelda (which is apparently very rad).
As for the Revolution itself? Something short and to the point. Like "Hands On"...I dunno.

Okay, no.
Showing the rod.
This is your weapon. Make it what you want it to be.
Show various bits of gameplay footage where it's immediately apparent what the rod does, perhaps show a few addons with appropriate footage.
Or:
Rod with shell.
Want to take off the kid's gloves?
Remove shell from rod, show gameplay footage.
Or, what Nintendo will do:
Showing lots of people doing things with the rod instead of the appropriate tool (e.g. fishing, shooting, cooking), show the words "coming [releasedate]" and then the logo, no gameplay footage at all...
Yes, I have a feeling that's what Nintendo will do.

Perm, you need to show people in the throws of playing it after the hand picks it up, particularly the scenes they showed where the gamer was shooting or swinging a sword; anything that has impact and can be edited together with a rising beat.
I would probably use different text, maybe even some of the language from the song.
You say you want a revolution?
We all want to change the world.
You say you got a real solution?
We'd all love to see the plan.
Change the world.
Free your mind.
My favorite part of the song has always been the opening guitar, that is probably when the system should be shown rather than text. Samus should be timed to land right at the point of the thump and scream. Right now you have the scream and the thump during the scene with the console and controller.
I still think the console should be called NE5 or maybe
ONE5 one5//Revo
OVER
one5
over
O//Omega
V//Nintendo
E//Entertainment
R//5ystem
Post by: Plugabugz on December 13, 2005, 08:00:46 AM
Slightly in the same vein, as it's immersive the slogan should change depending on the game footage involved (but still remain tongue-in-cheek):
Super Monkey Ball: "Roll me"
Feel the Magic: "Caress me"
I can't think of anything else.
Post by: JonLeung on December 13, 2005, 08:09:37 AM
So there could be something like, "How do you want to play?", but in specific cases they could just say "How do you want to _____?" where they throw in verbs like "explore", "race", "battle", "shoot", etc.
It would show that the games are a different experience from each other and definitely from the competition.

If anything, they need to show adults playing games that would interest them. I think Nintendo needs to release a game that has about 20 small card games, puzzle games, simple action games, strategy games and what not that would really get Adults interested in playing the Revolution. The controller is perfect for those types of games...and they could pack it in since development costs for a game like that would be pretty low.
Anyway, show a bunch of adults playing games like that. Or perhaps an old Grandmother playing a game like that...then switch views to a young daughter and her parents. "Geez, Grandma beat me again dad." Followed by Mom saying, Ok. My turn.
Something to show older people having fun.
Post by: Ian Sane on December 15, 2005, 07:33:10 AM
You got to careful there. You don't want the Rev to look like a geezer console. As a gamer I'm a little threatened by this non-gamer approach and I imagine that if they pushed that too hard in their ads other gamers might feel the same way. I don't just mean like hardcore gamers, I mean just people who plays games period right now.
I think it's important that the Rev looks appealing to all ages but is not advertised in such a way that it looks either like a family console (ack! The dreaded you-know-what image) or for old people. They have to show teenagers and young adults and pre-teens playing it too and playing it by themselves or with people their own age. Yeah the console is for everybody but the truth is people between 12 and 20 don't necessarily want to play with their grandparents and parents. Show different people enjoying themselves but not all together. Otherwise it looks like a family console.
Post by: Spak-Spang on December 15, 2005, 06:51:55 PM
Prime Time and Day Time use the more adult friendly commercials we have been discussing. That is the perfect place to put the "adverb"-Feel the Game commercials as well.
Then on Cartoon Network and Kids WB and such do commercials that will appeal to all ages and kids. Basically what Nintendo is already doing.
The key is completely different style commercials and ad slogans and campaigns need to be used to attract the different demographics.

Anyway, it was back in the SNES "Play It Loud" days, and it was a compilation of new SNES games, the biggest being Mortal Kombat II, where it showed Reptile's fatality in the commercial, the music was a song from the Butthole Surfers, I don't know the name, but there words mentioned something like "I wanna know who was in my room last night, who the Hell was in my bed".

They should develop a Back to the Future game exclusive for the Revolution with Steven Spielberg and EA just so their first commercials can open up with the scene in which Marty shows Doc the video from thirty years later. In the video Doc says the plutonium creates the 1.21 gigawatts (pronounced jigawatts in the movie) required for time travel.
In the scene in 1955 Doc has Marty rewind the tape to hear what he said again and then says, "1.21 jigawatts? Great Scott!" So I would open with Doc saying that.
The captions would read something like,
"It is time to go back, to the future..."
"coming 12/1"
I would get both the original actors to voice the characters in the game; and I would not do the train, somehow they have to have the dalorian again. Maybe it would have to follow the movies, but my opinion is that Marty is a messiah character, he is metaphorical, his tale is allegorical; the dalorian is a literal vehicle for the tenor. Spielberg is a genius.

In the Main stream I really don't know. I could see them doing the bit where someone is say fishing. Looks like it and everything but then you hear the Husband calling for dinner. It then flashes to a wife holding the controller like a fishing poll on the couch and the husband wearing an apron, manly but not cheesy apron, with dinner and they go over she goes over there. At that point you it starts to super impose the logo and the slogan and you can still see the couple in the background, fuzzily, and you can hear trailing in the background:
Husband: Honey, I didn't think you liked fishing.
Wife: Oh, well... It seems I like to fish. But I'll leave the real trips to the boys, mess and all.
It would be an interesting spot. But I think it be to similar to the Playstation approach.

I'd like to see something slapping the competition as overpriced too.
Maybe launch an uber bundle with 2 games (maybe SSB
nline and Zelda: TP for the Cube) and 2 controllers and a memory card for $199Microsoft Xbox 360... 2 games... 2 controllers... and a memory card $590 (I'm assuming a small price drop when the Ps3 launches)
Sony Playstation 3... 2 games... 2 controllers... and a memory stick... $650
Nintendo Revolution... 2 games... 2 controllers... and a memory card... $199
You do the math.
Post by: Darkheart on December 29, 2005, 06:58:45 PM
50 dollars for LOZTP
50 dollars for SSBO
30 dollars for extra controller
20 dollars for memory card
total =
150 dollars
-199 price line
Nintendo Revolution = 49 dollars . . . . .
I realize I guessed those prices but I think I was quite accurate
Post by: jasonditz on December 29, 2005, 07:08:50 PM
I was guessing the barebones console as $99 and assuming they'd give you a deal on a bundle like that:
Console: $99
Controller: $30
Memory Card: $20
SSBO: $50
and figure they'd be willing to pack in a last generation game to get people to pick up these bundles
Of course if the console is $149, they could do the same bundle at the $249 price point... still beats the crap out of the competition, but it doesn't have the same ring that a sub $200 bundle does.

1)The cost to get a Beatles song in a commercial is going to pretty high.
2)It really isn't an upbeat song, but a contemplative song. It's for showing a concept or a system. Not for showing fun.
Anyway, I heard a song that I think is fun and would work for Nintendo advertising IF they keep the name Revolution.
Artist: Jars of Clay
Song: Revolution.
The chorus is really the hook for the commercial:
so if you know the words then try to sing along
and when you get the beat grab a hammer bang a gong
cause you don't got to fight or make yourself belong
to be a revolution, alright!
to be a revolution, alright!
I see a commercial that plays off of Nintendo's rich history and new vision.
The commercial will flash between classic Nintendo games and new Revolution game footage, and shots of people/families/friends playing with the Revolution Controller much like the teaser video Nintendo released earlier does.
The idea is to capture a spirit of energy and fun.
Then the end can be the tag line. "FEEL THE GAME."
If you need to use the verses of the songs two of them also work well for commercials.
1)
If you wanna learn to play the rock guitar
then throw down your guns you gotta be a star
you gotta begin with who you know you are
to be a revolution
cause the time is right to cross that line
to let love find a way
or
2)
Peace takes a taxi to the underground
I wanna love the world but I don't know how
I blame it on the DJ playing all the fast songs
Ain't spinnin anything I can sing along
The first verse I typed really shows off the idea remembering yourself and remembering that games are about fun, and embrassing the joy of games again.
The second verse, kinda plays off the direction games have been going. Slowly dying because of complexity and sameness. Nothing is inspiring and you want to love gaming, but its not catching your eye anymore.

EDIT: Oh my God Jason, that owns all slogans. "When the Revolution comes, you will not be spared." That would be great. I think the actual slogan should be "Feel the Game" but your idea could be used as a theme for commercials (much like "Who are you?" which was priceless).
Post by: jasonditz on December 30, 2005, 04:37:49 PM
Open to an angry crowd of demonstrators in a parking lot somewhere... chanting something (maybe "Revolution")... all of them are wearing Mario-style hats and gloves. Picketers with signs showing interlocking revolution controllers.
Flash to a dark brick wall with a sign that's a little too dark to read... cop cars race past and the lights from the car light up the sign, a Mario-gloved fist with the word "Revolution" under it.
Then a shot of a guy in a Mario suit (like they had at E3) playing some unseen revolution game using the controller as a gun. Sounds of gunfire and shrieking in the background, fade to black
White text:
Just a friendly warning to our competition...
*fades*
When the Revolution comes, you will not be spared!
*gunshot*
Then flash a release date and MSRP for the console...

Ninjas engaged in some well-choreographed, really complex swordfight. Midway through the commercial, start the view rotating around the scene. When the view is from the opposite site, the same battle is going on, only the ninjas are weilding revolution controllers instead of swords... when it rotates back, they're swords again.
End commercial with revolution controller view (not swords) and have one of the combatants take a minor cut on the cheek from the other...
Flash to a Revolution logo.
---
Other ideas:
Second commercial with the Ninjas where they're fighting and one gets disarmed, pulls nunchucks off the wall... you can see where that's going...
How about a slap at the competition: Maybe "Play in their world, compete in ours" commercials for SSB Online?

"The PS3 experience is so amazing! Whenever I play it, I really see the broken dreams."
"I'm not saying Ken Kutaragi is insane... but he did once greenlight the PSP."
"Xbox 360: 512 MB of POS-RAM."
"I really liked Perfect Dark Zero the first time I saw it... when it was called Rogue Agent.
But this isn't a perfect world, so I guess it should be something hip to get the attention of the yuppie audience, but at the same time, it should remain Nintendo enough not to alienate the current fans. How about something like this...
A blank white room. Up creaps the Revolution controller (kinda like the TGS video). Then we zoom into the HOME button and up starts a gameplay montage. A good 45 seconds of different games. Then we fade back into the controller, and then back to nothingness. Then the slogan appears:
"Revolutionary Control."

I think somebody already mentioned a commercial with a sword-fighting scene where it cuts between them using actual swords and Revolution controllers. With the "Arm Yourself" thing, they could do that as well as other things - for some reason I can't get the idea out of my head of dueling cowboys about to do a quick-draw with Revolution remotes in their holsters. But as it's more than a gun it would only be one of a few commercials or mixed in a montage with scenes like the swordfighting. (After that banned Xbox 360 controller where everyone's got their fingers like imaginary guns at each other, guns probably won't be a focus at all...though Duck Hunt would be a very good example for the retro downloads...)
The slogan might not go too well with a cooking game, but I think a cooking game is a hard sell...I could be wrong, though. It would be neat to see vegetables being cut with the controller and food being tossed by an imaginary wok while someone's holding the controller where its handle would be, though.

THe commercial will be 360 and PS3 sitting in the park duking it out and Rev will come onto screan all giant sized and step onto the other 2. Then show some footage of games and gamers using the revmote.
Or they could use Perms commercial it was cool.

Two kids, one a boy, one a girl, a teenage boy and their grandma sitting in the living room playing video games.
"I'm tired of playing games with this regular boring controller." - Boy
"I'm tired of playing games that are made for boys only." - Girl
"What do all those buttons do?" - Grandma
"Games were better back in the day." - Teenager
Then the Revolution controller automatically appears in all of their hands and of course they are all blown away by this amazing device. A narrator (preferably that fast talking dude who did all those Micro Machines commercials back in the day) explains the jist of the Revolution controller, says that it's so simple your grandparents could use it, and that it's still capable of playing games the regular way, then the commercial shows clips of Revolution games including Animal Crossing Revolution and Nintendogs Revolution, and then it shows the system playing classic NES games.
Then the girl asks "I bet this costs a fortune!" and the narrator replies, "Only if you consider a price under $200 a fortune!" And then they're all shocked again.
The slogan would be "A Revolution That Everyone Wants to Be Part Of."
Then the girl says "Grandma, I think your urine bag is leaking." And then they all laugh playfully as the commercial fades out.

Thanks. And it works on a number of levels-freedom from the standard controller, freedom from wired controllers-freedom from the archaic console-and what is the main aim of a Revolution? Freedom! The last minute of that song while kids and adults alike break the chains from the oppressors, (ie old consoles) and drag them through the streets, and walk towards the blue light while Zach screams Freedom! would bring a tear to my eye.

Anyway, as much as I hate to say it, Vudu is right. Zack would definetly be offended by something as small as a mere offer.
I'm trying to think of another band that could provide the same atmosphere that RAGE does.......I can't think of one. Is there really no song that could rival "Freedom" as the perfect song for the commercial?
.......damn I love RAGE.....

I could make the commercial myself, actually.....maybe I will. I just got my new Panasonic camera anyway.
Death or Glory and I'm So Bored With The USA would be good Clash songs to use.

"The Revolution is coming. Arm Yourself."

Kick-ass instrumental. The title is of course a subtle reference to their system. Should be the primary song in commercials. (Credit to WOXY for that one.)

QuoteI assume all members of the band have equal rights to the song. But generally, all four would have to agree in order to do anything with it, i.e. no commercials unless everyone says it's okay. Sorta like the situation with The Doors and car commercials.
Plus the other members of the band may have the right ...meaning we don't know how the song rights shook out after the break up. Writing the lyrics to a song does not actually mean you own it.

I'd go with "Complete Control" if Nintendo was using a Clash song. Not only is it a rockin' tune, the title is more then apt when it comes to the Revolution.

Could be a nice underground momentum shift for the Rev.
