"Nintendo rock at advertising..."

No, really.

Not those rubbish "Whooohoo" adverts. [URL]http://www.leoburnett.com/breaking/nintendo/[/URL].

Granted the Cube ones are a bit... American, but they're certainly not bad. But the GBA one is excellent. Not quite as good as the original 'Who Are You?' one, but still great.

Now why can't they replicate this campaign in Europe?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Better stop before I upset someone.

P.S. The laugh was a Ganon impression. And I may meet a similar fate if a girl reads this... :(

Thanks anyway :)

I watched these new ones and was rather impressed actually. However, I wasn't too keen on that weird whisper and the end of each one...

"GAAAMECUUBE"

The slogan for Ocarina of Time was...

"Will thou save the girl, or play like one?"

Yeah good one, Nintendo. Way to eliminate half your audience...

How were they sexist?

Did they say "Ganon should win because he's a bloke and Zelda's a girl"?
Not disagreeing, though... ;)

I don't like Zelda herself.

Gotta love that song on the GBA Advert

"Strict Machine- Goldfrapp" incase you didn't know...just downloaded it off of Kazaa

Holy crap. I was just about to eat my tea as well..

I'd like to hear the Jigglypuff/£30 joke though :)

Ok I don't want to make Pikachu jealous.

...you need him, he checks your pokeballs for lumps. ;D

Never speak of that again.

Does the ending have something to do with Jigglypuff and 30 quid? ;D

Just watched that original Who Are You? advert again, genius! :-D

I didn't mind the bit at the end, personally.
