You didn't have to come into the thread.
You hate ads so much that you'll look at ads just to complain about looking at ads.

They're nice ads, but I wouldn't go so far as to say brilliant. It's good to see the strong messaging though, which the Wii U never really had (and the Wii had in spades).
Best magazine ad for me is still Paper Mario.

Simple, they are ads that you see everywhere. This 4 to 5 words to describe products exists through the world. Like Xbox with the Jump in, or Playstation with the Greatness Awaits. This kinds of ads to me are in no way brillant or even good. They are normal, hence why I said that OP should have posted this on the switch thread.

People don't advertise for upcoming games anymore?
We already spend too much time about theses adds. Time to read another thread.

People got aggravated and defensive because OP used the word "brilliant". I swear I fucking hate GAF sometimes.

Lol what a petty thing to complain about in an ad.....for a recently released console.
Christ...this post and many in the thread. You know it's ok for someone to like something and they might not be employed by the company right?

Uh huh
Oh, you mean your second post as response after being called for using "fanboys"?
Ok.
Hey guys, it's a new Switch topic, let's say it's trash, always works.
It just makes it easier to build that ignore list.
And yes more than seeing "brilliant" ads it's good to see Nintendo try more.
Well it's not brilliant whatchu want from us?

"Hey! GAF! Come quick! Someone is being a little overzealous about a gaming platform!"
"...soooo? PS4 is brilliant! Did you hear about how well the PS4 is doing this year?"
"no, you don't understand, they're talking about a Nintendo platform!"
*everyone starts flinging their shit like monkeys*
There wouldn't be half of y'all in here wheeling out the word 'fanboy' if this wasn't a Nintendo thread, lmao. Thanks for keeping it transparent, y'all.
Man I must've pissed you off with my first message.
To me for this kinds of ads only a fanboy would call it brilliant. That's all I meant. But if you want to keep on digging on my search history for something go ahead.

Has anyone explained what's brilliant about them? They just look like cover art to me. I enjoy a good advertisement when they're clever but I don't see what's special about these ones.
Is it the illeteration?
To be fair, 'brilliant' has a meaning. If the thread title was 'Nintendo Switch ad in magazine' I don't think there would have been anywhere near as much backchat.

Don't shit on that dude, he is appropriately named.
while i agree that the ads are standard at best, complaining about the thread existing is just unnecessary. A few years ago thread whining was a ban-able offense. It's game related on a game enthusiast's forum. If this was a commercial, I'm sure half the complains of the thread wouldn't exists, if not all. But a commercial is no less an ad than the images provided by the OP.

Yaaaas work that Katya reference (I know this is probably not a Katya reference but idc)
Great ad.
I suppose it's because in few words Nintendo managed to pass the idea that you can play this kind of games everywhere I guess. I guess OP got impressed with that.

And it runs like absolute dogshit at sub HD resolutions. It might aswell be a Switch exclusive.
No fun allowed
We understood what you think with your first post, there is no need to repeat the same thing over and over
Nintendo + Zelda = automatically BRILLIANT!
Toilets are meant to be places of quiet reflection and spiritual learning, not FUN!

It's an okay ad, I guess.
Lmao, gaf is incredibly defensive when it comes to nintendo.

toilets are places where you drop waste
they're also the place where you blast tiny little particles of waste matter into the surrounding air
like, if I was the only person using my Switch, I'd use it on the toilet. Sparingly. And I'd feel bad about it. But I'm not the only person, so I'm not doing it, lol.

I came for brilliance, I left disappointed.

Nah, first you mudsling, then act like nothing happened.
Tbh, they aren't. The problem is the thread whining

I take it you weren't on GAF yet when Sony had their phase with the bleeding baby commercials?
Anyway, you have my personal guarantee that if someone were to tout the brilliance of a mediocre to bad ad (like those in the OP) by any other company, we'd be here to shit on that guy as well.

That's one way to dismiss me, but I'm right. I've seen this shit play out before. People aren't just blithely dismissed as 'fanboys' in "Let's celebrate X PS4 feature or happening, however mundane" threads.
If you like something Nintendo did, though, you're a half-step away from being considered a fanboy. Always. All it takes for someone to stop considering me as "this guy who buys and plays most of his games on PC and evangelizes the platform" and start seeing me as "lol Nintendo fanboy" is seeing me post about Zelda a couple of times, as an example.

Ad has slogan that sells product, film at 11.

I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan these days, but those are pretty bland. I mean the games themselves are enough to hook me, but there's nothing really interesting, funny, or attention grabbing outside of that.

It's sad the the word brilliant took the focus of what i wanted to discuss which is how nintendo is pushing the switch compared to the wii u and how this could effect its sales.
I would edit the title but it seems its too late as the thread turned toxic war of acusing people of being fanboys.

people are literally shitting on Iwata's legacy. sad!
Man do we really need a post dedicated to ads?
Are ads not in your face enough already? Do you work for Nintendo?
Is that even a compliment? Nintendos marketing on the WiiU was the worst I've seen in the industry, ever. We need the old Nintendo from the NES, SNES and N64 times back.
