I got the new gameinformer magazine this month and couldn't help but notice these 3 switch ads.

I think nintendo have found a smart way to advertise the switch as an everywhere console.

Play zelda at home, mario kart in the car and arms in the park.

 

[Majine]

(Don't play Mario Kart while actually driving)

 

[Nester99]

Man do we really need a post dedicated to adds?

Are adds not in your face enough already? Do you,work for Nintendo?

 

[DrFunk]

uh

It's ok I guess

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

don't drive and drive

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

"Brilliant" no.

Ads, yes.

I'm surprised they haven't put the actual size of a Switch printed on a piece of paper and had something lazy like "Put hands here". That would be pretty cool.

EDIT

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

You're hired!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Hyrule Home is kinda odd.

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

10x better ad

 

[CoffeeExpress]

 

[Bousf]

Yeah, play games in the car, sound advice.

 

[Robin64]

Similar to their subway train ads, which say the same thing but with more words.

This train was plastered with Switch ads.

 

[Vitanimus]

Okay...?

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

"PUNCH AT THE PARK"

"AS YOUR SWITCH IS STOLEN FROM YOU IN BROAD DAYLIGHT."

 

[Pan0u]

3 ads??

HALF-LIFE 3 CONF... uh, nevermind...

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Don't know why I laughed so much at "Comic Mischief".

 

[Jawbreaker]

Alright. Seems pretty standard.

 

[CEJames]

False advertisement. Zelda is on the WiiU as well.

plenty of threads have been made about ads

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

lol

you missed a golden opportunity to incorporate Splatoon ;p

 

[N.Grim]

Shovel in the toilet?

I think it's nice to see them, I don't see any in my region and I also don't read print magazines so I never see any gaming related ads.

 

[Shiggy]

Not as good as the Switch ads by Microsoft from 2013.

 

[mindsale]

Hope they release a Kirby for Switch.

SUCK in your TRUCK.

 

[Nowise10]

I literally just see an ad. Their is nothing special about them.

Fanboys, man...

 

[lastrealgameralive]

Year 1 of Switch has the most amazing array of colorful games I've seen in advertisements. Bomberman, Zelda, ARMS, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey -- woah! I hope Nintendo announces a Mature rated title like Eternal Darkness at E3, so that we get some more dark colors in there to complete the aesthetic domination.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Definitely don't punch in the park.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I think they're great!

Also for those who say don't play Mario Kart in the car, not everyone drives! People get driven around all of the time! I know I do.

 

[D4Danger]

I thought it was going to fold up or something. pretty lame.

 

[Stevey]

They're just standard adverts I'm not seeing the appeal myself.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Not that smart. lol

 

[DigitalScrap]

The train ads are better "The adventure begins in Hyrule. And continues anywhere you want." does a good job of conveying the message.

The magazine ads to me are a bit meh to be honest.

 

[tuxfool]

Huh, some people really grade Nintendo on a curve.

 

[Strangelove77]

Seems like a standard ad to me.

 

[Bog]

The better ad would be:

Zelda in the bathroom.
Kart in the bathroom.
Arms in the bathroom.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Fanboys gonna fanboys I guess... Weird thread.

 

[mindsale]

The better ad would be:

Zelda in the bathroom.
Kart in the bathroom.
Arms in the bathroom.

This Switch has been flagged.

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

This Switch has been flagged.

SWARM SWARM SWARM!

 

[stump sock]

I see we've now passed subtle advertising threads and now are now just posting advertising

 

[ffvorax]

Similar to their subway train ads, which say the same thing but with more words.
CUT

This train was plastered with Switch ads.

I actually prefer much more these ADS instead of the ones on first post.

 

[Strings]

uh

It's ok I guess

.

 

[ch4fx_]

Am amazed. 100%. Much brilliant.

 

[JayEH]

Man do we really need a post dedicated to adds?

Are adds not in your face enough already? Do you,work for Nintendo?

there's threads for ads including trailers all the time

 

[Munter]

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

Kart on the streets, Zelda in the sheets

please don't call these "adds".

 

[kennyamr]

Actually I had to think twice to realize what it meant.

If I didn't know the Switch could also be a portable device already, I wouldn't get what it means.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So, the gist of this thread is that the OP is easily impressed by basic alliteration?

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

This was funnier than the ads.

 

[jokkir]

Yup, that's definitely an ad

They should make a MAD magazine folding type ad.

 

[Branduil]

The better ad would be:

Zelda in the bathroom.
Kart in the bathroom.
Arms in the bathroom.

Splat in the stall

 

[AquaWateria]

Lmao at the people using the word Fanboys.

Whenever people use that word they really do think they're superior huh.

 

[Transistor]

Ads? Yeah. Brilliant? Nah

 

[Saint Gregory]

Hyrule on the streets, Mario Kart 8 in the sheets.

This is actually much better than what the professional ad company came up with, bravo.

Hope they release a Kirby for Switch.

SUCK in your TRUCK.

But this is just lewd. I guess Nintendo can use it for ads focused on FXX though.
