Much better advertising, which is what should be happening.

As for Nintendo, the other day when watching TV, I did catch the "free" ad a few times. Keep it up, N!

(*Dear friends, I swear to you, I just wanted to make a lame fanboyish joke. I don't dislike the XBOX, and if I had the money, I'd go get one this very hour with Panzer Orta and Kakuto Chojin.**)
(**Dear friends, I swear I was just kidding about that Chojin part. But you knew that already, right? Right???)

So many asterics.
And I don't feel guilty really, just a self-observation as my therapist calls it(no, I don't have a therapist*).
And to get back on topic(sorry telaris for mindless chat(no offense sean)) I haven't seen the 180 games commercial lately.

I should watch more television, if I want to catch more commercials. To me, almost nothing gets marketed on TV, but considering how little I watch, I'm guessing I'm not a good Advertising Barometer.* The stuff I have seen--and bear in mind I never saw the "Clean is better" Mario Sunshine commercial--from Metroid Prime (a bit hokey when it shows the live-action shots, I thought, which is a shame consider how awesome Alex Proyas is) to Fusion to Eternal Darkness to that great old Golden Sun commercial, well, I've thought they were all very nicely done. The funniest ones have been for Animal Crossing, but I've only seen those on the GCN demo I got from Toys R Us. Those are classics, really.
I think that's a case where clever marketing and fine word of mouth sold the game through and through. Mario Sunshine was probably hurt (but it still sold well, dang it!) by its commercials and from all the bad press about its graphics, etc. Oh well. I should get off here and go play some games, speaking of them...haha.
(*This has not been invented yet. I'm working on it.**)

Oh, saw both the Zelda commercial and the Free game commercial during Reign on CN. Good job, Nintendo!
EDIT:
Oh, and I also think they should bring back commercials similar to the ones they had at launch, where the guy would be surrounded by a cube and there'd be gameplay. And I hear they put advertisments on G4? Why not put them on Tech TV? Everyone I know watches Tech TV (and they all own either PS2 and XBox). Tech TV caters to that older male demographic that Nintendo supposebly isn't reaching. Why not advertise RE, ED, etc. on this channel? (i think i've gone off topic, oh well)
