I’m happy I’m feeling glad, just shot odd job in the nads,
I’m useless but not for long, because I just got the golden gun!

Ahh yes Goldeneye, what a special game that was, hundreds of rhymes even more screams of “oh I thought I killed you”, It was a very special game and apparently saved Nintendo in this country! I disagree, it did help but what saved Nintendo was their unique way of advertising, those four sockets in front of their machine!

Goldeneye’s most happening feature was the multiplayer, which is what the N64 was designed for. This is what saved Nintendo due to the Nintendo spread. A group of 6 Playstation fans and 1 N64 fan, this 1 N64 fan would invite his group round for a multiplayer game on Goldeneye (Mario Kart is equally popular), 2 of these friends will fall in love with the heated multiplayer games and buy an N64, these two happen to be involved with a different group and they get introduced to Nintendo and so on!

They say Nintendo don’t advertise well (but find me 1 person who doesn’t know about Pokémon) but it’s their system that has kept them alive. This Time Nintendo have another plan, as long as the Gamecube seems like an essential to the Gameboy Advanced then it will sell well. Again this has little to do with advertisement it is simply the way Nintendo have manipulated their system!

They say Nintendo did badly but only in comparison to the Playstation, they sold more than the SNES and unlike systems such as the Saturn and the Phillips CDi they didn’t go belly up! Nintendo’s ability to advertise is vastly underestimated and their own way of doing things will, one day pay off.

Here’s to the future

The future bit i added is that if Nintendo gets the message accross that having a GBA basically requires a Gamecube then Nintendo will sell more than the rest!

Microsoft have one thing on their side... Money, They can buy what they need and trust me they can advertise that stunt with the rock was a huge success!

I was showing Nintendo will have a future in advertisement because they do it different to Sony not worse! Cut off early i disagree, do you have a GAD attempt and are trying to destroy competition?
