I like it. Much better then their Wii U ads.

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

Fanboys, man...

Fanboys gonna fanboys I guess... Weird thread.

Huh? Weird comment.

 

[13ruce]

Man do we really need a post dedicated to adds?

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

Well people are just happy Nintendo takes advertising seriously again.

 

[Rocketz]

Seems like standard ads in magazines

I wouldn't call them "brilliant". 2/3 are just cover art with a different text overlay but whatever makes you happy OP

 

[Cipher Peon]

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

I think the better question is who ISN'T impressed by basic alliteration :3

as someone who doesn't look at print and only gets targeted ads on the web, yes, i would like to see how nintendo is marketing their newest product

 

[QuantumBro]

Did Nintendo forget to tell the marketeers that they delayed Mario Kart and Arms to pad out the Switch's launch window?

Ads suck considering they assume the reader already knows about the Switches features. Nothing on the ad shows that the Switch is a handheld console, it's just sitting in its dock turned off.

 

[DigitalScrap]

Huh, some people really grade Nintendo on a curve.

It seems almost everyone grades their favorite console/game company on a curve. We see it here every day. People justify horrible anti-consumer behavior, missing features, and pretend that glaring bugs don't exist in games. There is often a serious lack of objectivity.

Don't try to make it a "Nintendo" thing, as that comes across as fanboyish as well.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Lmao at the people using the word Fanboys.

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

Not really. Just don't see a reason to create a thread for fucking magazine ads. He could've just posted this on the switch thread.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I still find it weird whenever I see Switch commercials that advertise stuff like Splatoon 2 and ARMS by showing people playing them and then at the end showing the boxes for the games like they are available now.

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

..

How about some of you guys just don't click on the thread? You knew what it was going to be about..

I think they're pretty good. People don't need the exact functionality rammed down their throats. Something eye catching will spark an interest for someone to do their own bit of research

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

In a magazine catered towards gamers. I prefer their subway ads.

 

[Pinky]

Well, this thread went to shit.

Lmao at the people using the word Fanboys.

Yeah, that explains.

 

[Arozay]

Kart while you shart

 

[Soph]

These advertisements are so brilliant, I just ordered two more Switches.

Switches get stitches!

 

[Mash83]

Link at lunch
Mario at the mall
Toad on the road
Hyrule at school (eh, maybe not a good message)

 

[JCH!]

These ads are definitely nothing to write home about but man, the snark here is pretty sad.

 

[stump sock]

..

How about some of you guys just don't click on the thread? You knew what it was going to be about..

I expected brilliance. Instead I found a new low in "easily impressed."

 

[dnmt]

"brilliant"

 

[one4myhomies]

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

Much better, ha!

 

[tuxfool]

How about some of you guys just don't click on the thread? You knew what it was going to be about..

But I clicked on the thread expecting BRILLIANT ads...

 

[MCD250]

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.

My thinking, as well.


I spent a good amount of time looking at that Zelda ad trying go figure it out. I kept wondering if there was a pun I was missing or something.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bitch while you Switch.

 

[Transistor]

..

How about some of you guys just don't click on the thread? You knew what it was going to be about.

I didn't realize this was a "no negative comments allowed" thread.

 

[Apathy]

These magazine ads suck. Like they are just dumb and lazy. They could do so much better. Even the idea to do mad magazine fold ins would be more creative

 

[Nowise10]

How about some of you guys just don't click on the thread? You knew what it was going to be about..

I came in expecting to see a "brilliant" case of marketing.

I got photos of magazine pages with nothing amazing about them. They aren't funny, or creative, or special. It is like any other advertisment.

 

[phanphare]

I didn't realize this was a "no negative comments allowed" thread.

there's a difference between negative comments about the content of a thread and saying a thread shouldn't exist

 

[Rebel Leader]

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

This train was plastered with Switch ads.

Zelda ad is great

 

[Dunlop]

Nice ad, failing to see the brilliance.

Especially as they have had handhelds for years

 

[CJY]

I find these ads decidedly unappealing and unimaginative. They wouldn't, in any way, encourage me to purchase a Switch if I wasn't already interested.

Spoiler

(I already own a switch)

 

[jdw_b]

I didn't realize this was a "no negative comments allowed" thread.

I quoted one guy by accident but all the others were just nonsensical shit with nothing to do with the adverts themselves

 

[apieceofstrange]

I didn't realize this was a "no negative comments allowed" thread.

It's one thing to not like the ad, but accusing OP of working for Nintendo is a bit overboard. This is exactly why Shinobi left. OP can like the ad without having ulterior motives.

What can you expect of people with post history like this:

BEST PSX EVER!!!!!

THIS E3 AND PSX!!!! SONY IS ON A FUCKING ROLL!!!!!!!!!!

/s

 

[Zarovitch]

Not really. Just don't see a reason to create a thread for fucking magazine ads. He could've just posted this on the switch thread.

Why did you open the thread?

 

[dnmt]

But we did actually have cases in the past where an OP had ulterior motives. If you think this is overboard then grow thicker skin.

 

[Bronetta]

I still find it weird whenever I see Switch commercials that advertise stuff like Splatoon 2 and ARMS by showing people playing them and then at the end showing the boxes for the games like they are available now.

Maybe one game was good for E3 but its not good enough for marketing campaigns, no matter how good it is.

Are you suggesting PSX 2016 wasn't the best PSX? Or better yet, one of the best gaming conferences in the last decade?

Yeah, play games in the car, sound advice.

 

[marrec]

Bitch while you Switch.

Not until I get my web-browser!

 

[Calm Mind]

Fanboys gonna fanboys I guess... Weird thread.

You won't last long here.

That's the train I take everyday.

 

[hampig]

I really like the Zelda/Switch ad that's on TV. It's almost shocking to see such a good ad for a Nintendo product.

 

[NeOak]

lol

 

[tkscz]

Yes

 

[PSFan]

Well it shouldn't. Aren't scans from magazines not allowed on GAF?

 

[RecRoulette]

Meh, they're alright. Sort of basic for print ads.

That picture for the first ad sucks, does it literally say "Hyrule Home"?

Edit: Also, Game Informer, whatever. Not sure why I was expecting a non-gaming magazine.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Save Hyrule while you <poopemoji>

Now that would be good.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Why did you open the thread?

Because I was expecting "brilliant" ads. Or at least something that isn't just normal or at least something that I never seen before in an ad.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Meh, they're alright. Sort of basic for print ads.

I think there's an "at" in there but the glare off the page is hiding it.
