THAT's how they should of advertised it. ;__; Just film a bunch of puppies walking and rolling all over some DS' in a nice clean room. Or show a bunch of those $5 virtual pet things, followed by that Dogz PC game, then Nintendogs. THEN HERE COMES MONEY.

But noooo.
"How should we advertise this cute game about puppies? The game we want non-gamers to get into?"
"I know"
"What is it, Lenny?"
"Show some MTV kid, right. And like... basketball... and... he's.. cool"
"And?"
"Dunno, that's all I've got"
"I LIKE IT!"

4Kids + Nintendogs. A match made in hell by Nintendo of America.

I guess we can chalk this up to another instance where every forum dork in the world is smarter than nintendo... eh?

Making games? No.

Marketing games? Yes.

I would take any random forum dork to run Nintendo's marketing department over whoever runs things now. Seriously. Whoever posts next. I want you to run NOAs marketing department. Even if you're just posting to say that I suck.

Reggie needs to go fire someone. Right now. Don't worry about hurting their feelings. They know it's coming. They've spent the last twenty years of their life waiting for the axe to fall on them, and they're wondering what's been holding it up.

I remember having a Tamagochi back in the day. I need to be convinced that this $40 DS game is leagues ahead of those LCD gimmicks just as much as girl gamers and adults need to be convinced. I don't think that was any better than those Who Are You commercials geared for the 12 and under crowd.

Strell · « **Reply #54 on:** August 22, 2005, 12:19:57 AM »

I thought up a commercial idea. I don't normally care for such things and hardly think about them, but meh.

What about one where it had a guy treating the DS like a puppy? Like the DS was bouncing around and being annoying, the guy leashes it up and takes it for a walk, throws a frisbee and it fetches it, etc. It would be pretty hilarious the way I'm picturing it in my head. It would piss on the floor. BAD NINTENDO DS, BAD. And then after 30 seconds of wtf-inspired insanity, it would show the guy playing Nintendogs on his DS and highlighting a bunch of gameplay.

Seems wonderfully ludicrous to me, like a Willy Wonka vision or something.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #55 on:** August 22, 2005, 07:37:40 AM »

I really like that idea, Strell. I think they can cut down the funny half of the footage to about 15-20 seconds and reserve the rest for gameplay stuff.

I also think a running of the bulls type thing, except with puppies, would awesome as well. It'd make no sense, but it'd be awesome and cute. Follow with gameplay footage.

Edit: Oh wait, I think someday did that a while back with cats for something. Genius, that

Still, a puppy stampede would rock.

I'm behind that campaign. You share a similar appreciation for the cuteness of puppies. Who doesn't? Oh yes, the fools at Nintendo. You'll make a fine candidate.

Oh, and this ad confirms that the Super Mario Sunshine commercial wasn't satire. Dirty be better than clean, playaz.

How about this commercial:
A guy is walking a puppy, then the puppy starts jumping and barking,
scene cuts to random person who sees a man walking his DS when its start jumping and barking
the guy looks to his right and there is a dog park, so he goes inside, his dog is playing with all the other dogs in the park (people throwing frisbees, petting thier puppies, and picking up poop)
scenes cuts back to random person who sees a bunch of DS's in place of all the puppies mentioned above(a serious look of disbelief on persons face)
Thats when the announcer chimes in [insert announcement here] and actual gameplay footage rolls

I think that would make a good series of commercials for the adults

*idea obviously inspired by strell

edit: The original idea to this thought was that the random person would only see someone playing with a DS and wouldn't be involved in the world as seen through the eyes of the guy with the DS

or

that the random person would only see the guy dragging a DS behind him(scraping & scratching) at first
and a bunch of people standing in a park with a bunch of DS's littering the ground.

That would be funny if the dogs were playing the Sims. that would make a nice cross promotion commercial.

stealthboy · « **Reply #60 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:58:28 AM »

That was just about the worst commercial I have ever seen. Why, Nintendo, why!??!?!

TMW · « **Reply #61 on:** August 24, 2005, 05:51:29 PM »

Ooh! I know!

It was an excessive use of irony!

They were making fun of the atypical Sony/Xbox fanboys!

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #62 on:** August 24, 2005, 07:32:07 PM »

Is anyone else more bothered by the commercial with the girl than the commercial with the boy? The girl annoys the everloving f*ck out of me. I want t strangle her and throw her off a bridge.

Renny · « **Reply #63 on:** August 24, 2005, 08:25:28 PM »

I am unfortunate to have not seen it. Is it online anywhere?

dont h8 da playa h8 da nongaym.

Edit: Nintendo's site, of all places. And... oh, so bad. It's just so bad. So many jokes. Most with inappropriate language.

ib2kool4u912 · « **Reply #64 on:** August 25, 2005, 06:13:56 AM »

I just saw the girl one. Unlike the boy one, i think the girl one seems like a good idea with horrible execution.

mantidor · « **Reply #65 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:18:24 PM »

The girl one was creepy

Arbok · « **Reply #66 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:46:13 PM »

The girl one was a lot better than the boy one... but than that is praise along the lines of getting slapped is better than getting punched.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #67 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:47:21 PM »

Holy ****, the girl one gave me chills. Not cool.

The boy one, on the other hand, was awesome. Can't you all see? It was making FUN of people like that, which means that everybody else will buy it, because everybody else hates people like that!

stevey · « **Reply #68 on:** August 27, 2005, 04:05:30 AM »

I just saw the girl one and it was better it told you about the game and how volcan her outfit is, now they need adult ad.

nickmitch · « **Reply #69 on:** August 27, 2005, 12:30:46 PM »

What the hell would an adult talk to?!?
Car? Water cooler? Coat? Tie? Hat? Wife? Husband? Actual dog?!?

Cat?

mantidor · « **Reply #70 on:** August 27, 2005, 12:45:19 PM »

it doesnt necesarly need to be an ad with an adult talking to something/someone, it could be like one of the examples given already. The man/woman is ashamed of raising a virtual dog but met through the bark mode a sexually appealing member of the opposite sex which happens to have the game also.
