Woah guys, I just have to quickly reply, not sure if it's been said or not but NAL has a new Marketing director, well not really new, they had him 3 years ago and he left to Acclaim. Check my site for details.

Ahhh Grug. What will you get up to next...?

Hehe...that's the one!

BTW, does everyone know Sony and MS dropped the price of their consoles to $330 each in Australia? Is it me, or do I think they are trying to destory Nintendo in Australia?

RABicle - your link doesn't work.

RABicle · « **Reply #877 on:** June 03, 2003, 04:46:20 AM »

What? doesn't work? Its a redirect, it should work. Well try http://members.lycos.co.uk/gbanetwork1/ that should work for ya. Anyway the marketing guy they got back did the "lets see that again" ads, that everyone loved. after he left Nintendo marketing dropped and sony took over the market.

if this is a double post kill me.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #878 on:** June 03, 2003, 05:08:55 AM »

The new link you gave me works. Well, I hope for better things, but if NAL has a low budget for advertising, I doubt the new Marketing director will make much of a difference. I hope I'll eat my words!

PIAC · « **Reply #879 on:** June 03, 2003, 09:58:56 AM »

well i definetly remember seeing more adds in the 64 days, ones for all the big games, rather than the initial launch adds and 3 others (zelda, metroid, pokemon) OH i almost forgot the ones they had during bathurst, a general gamecube one and the one for yoshi's island on the GBA

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #880 on:** June 03, 2003, 01:38:28 PM »

N64 adverts were THE BEST! That Mario Kart 64 one with Tim Feguson (sp?) left me speechless. It was then that I looked at my trusty SNES, and knew it had to be replaced by the almighty black box.

And serious? Xbox and PS2 have dropped to $330? Crap, what will the casual gamer go for now?

- Xbox, $330 (hard drive, DVD.. Ummm... Halo? -_-)
- PS2, $330 (DVD, massive selection of games, most crap, but the casual gamer doesn't care, THEY WANT BRITNEY'S DANCE BEAT!!!1)
or
- GC, $330 (GB Player packed in, best first party games... That never get the attention they deserve)

*mega sad face*

Lets hope Nintendo actually advertise this GBP bundle....

Oh yeah, stay tuned, I plan on posting a pretty lenghty MSN convo I had with a total Xbox fanboy =)
Have to edit all the swearing in advance!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #881 on:** June 03, 2003, 03:13:49 PM »

what are you talking about bad?
I see Gamecube's for $199 everywhere I go!
And the GBP will be sold for $99. That, in effect, is actually cheaper than the price NAL gave on the bundle, and cheaper, of course, than the full price of an XBox or PS2, with DVD playback.

The way I see it, Nintendo is still king of home console prices.

Infernal: Looking foward to that transcript!
Should be interesting!

And hey, RABicle, it was the first time I went to your site. How did you manage to make a kickass site in the mould of PGC?

Have you considered a GC section? Can I join up or something as a staffer?

??
PURDY PLEEEEEZE???

RABicle · « **Reply #882 on:** June 03, 2003, 03:56:05 PM »

Glad to see you like the site. It's not that kickarse, theres some incomplete bits and a horrible ad down the right hand side, it's also not as profesional looking as the only other Australan GBA site. :S
I'nm not planning on starting a GCN section because, the other head staffer guy doens't even own one, and theres allready plenty of great Aussie GCN sites out there, no point on me making one.
Anyway if you wana work for us reviewing GBA games or posting news then of course you can. Just write a review and I'll get the other guy to give you access to the news posting service

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #883 on:** June 03, 2003, 04:19:09 PM »

coooooooooooool!!!!!!!

crap thing is thought i don't have a GBA, and the only game I've played for more than 30 minutes is Zelda A Link to the Past, so that scraps that idea.
DAMN!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #884 on:** June 03, 2003, 04:53:04 PM »

Wow, I'm having ALOT of trouble posting this convo. I've edited everything that could EVER be considered offensive, yet it's still coming up with "you have a forbiddon word, it is highlighted for you"

... Yet... Nothing is highlighted. Great work PGC.

... Give me a few minutes

Greg's Nintendo comeback
Paul Broekhuyse: Ambition
JUNE 03, 2003

GREG ARTHURTON has just scored one of the toughest gigs in the business, becoming the marketing manager for Nintendo.

The company's in a pitched battle with Sony and Microsoft for the lion's share of the fiercely competitive games console market, so he'll have his work cut out for him. Arthurton used to work for Nintendo before, but has just had a three-year stint with games publisher Acclaim Entertainment, also in the role of marketing manager.
He starts back at Nintendo Australia on June 10, reporting to David Yarnton, director of sales and marketing.

Arthurton says Nintendo's Game Boy handheld is a solid business, while the more recent GameCube is third-placed behind Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox.

"There's a lot of ground to be made up," he says.

"We have a new Game Boy product being launched shortly that links it with GameCube - so you can play the handheld games on the TV screen - and we expect that to kick things along."

And Arthurton says being number one isn't everything. "The aim might be to simply run a good, profitable business," he says. "It all depends on the direction we get from the head office in Japan."

Outside work, Arthurton likes AFL, eating out, and the cinema.

He's married, with no kids.

Sounds promising. Nintendo Australia really needs a kick in the ass. Nintendo's current marketing team is so stuck in the 80's they are all hidden characters in Vice City. I mean look at that Game & watch ad that was shown last year, terrible! Hopefully this new guy can turn Nintendo Australia around.

So.... I guess this means we'll see Nintendo adverts in the previews at cinemas, and on our plates of food when we eat out?

"Yes, I'd like a bowl of spaghetti please"

*It arrives in the shape of Luigi or Mario*

Oh yeah, nerd isn't a swear word.. It's just that I started editing everything when it said there was an unknown forbiddon word in there. Still yet to really know what it was

Shift Key · « **Reply #891 on:** June 03, 2003, 09:38:49 PM »

Way to go Infernal. Ever heard of the term 'firing up'? That was a great rant!
And flamings a swear word? Not to nit-pick or anything, I just find it amusing.
"Got hot chicks" - worst excuse ever. Ever heard of getting a life?

I'm very into the whole concept of 'firing up' except I rather talk it, because then I don't think about what I say. Damn conscience!
Give me a few drinks, a target of some sort, and a topic to go on about, and I'll give you a show! Word up.

Anyway, I liked how you fired back! It is sad that mainstream gamers like him are making the gaming industry worst with shovelware.
BTW, I love your signature from Futurama! When i watched it, these two lines had me cracking out laughing!
