Advance Wars Dual Strike US commercial

See this is actually a good commercial. Why can't they advertise like this for Nintendogs? I don't mind them having those commercials aimed at kids as long as they have ones planned for adults as well. I guarantee you Japan didn't sell 600K units to kids alone.
 
Nice. :D

Oh no, he's there:

The same kid from Nintendogs?
 
Commercial's neaet, but there's still something that doesn't sit well with me.

Games.net (the assholes with the "ambiguously gay characters features), GamerReports.com (another lame-ass fansite) and now this AdvancedMN.com site... What the fuck is with all the shameless plugging of weaksauce fansites?

Isn't there a ToS rule about it?

F. Spam

Outside advertisements or solicitations promoted by posting messages, private messaging, or e-mailing users via Gaming Age Forums is unacceptable and will be subject to banning. Examples include: pyramid schemes, your own website, etc...



Of course, this has really only historically reserved for the worst.

Good heavens...

He's sharing a commercial for crying out loud. He's not screaming for visitors to hit the site and linking tons of news articles here. It's no different than when a guy like BlimBlim (who rocks by the way) posts some of his screens here for all to see.
 
I don't understand how some of Nintendo's commercials can be so damn good, while others are so bad.

It's almost as if thier ad agency has a bi-polar disorder.

They must outsource some of their ads to the McDonald's folks...

Chill out. I'm not a mod, but I'd assume the rule of thumb is you can link to your own site when the link is revelent and of interest to GAF, as this commercial clearly is.
 
I don't like how gaming commercials are getting away from showing any gameplay. The cm is not meant to cater to gamers like us who know what the game is about anyway. It's supposed to get people who know nothing about the game to buy it and the .5 second of footage at the end doesn't cut it.
 
Where have you been since videogame commercials first started showing?

The point is to get the consumer interested, and then they look up information on the game...
 
It's cute and quite well done. I approve.

If I grab a DS at Christmas, here's hoping this is on sale on Boxing Day.
 
I like it.. though the nintendogs one with the girl telling her teddy bear to piss off isn't horrible, the AW commercial blows it away.
