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?

Heh, very true.

Mav, I had a look around and I couldn't find the ad online anymore. I think it was taken down when NOA redesigned their site. You could try Kazaa I spose. I would upload it myself, but it would take forever on me old dialup here.

That was really good, up to the bit where they were all wearing Mario/Peach/Samus masks at the end. All the bit before, with the Matrix style jumping and running along the train roof.. best commercial I'd seen in ages.

And in Europe..

The GBA advert is pretty cool actually, fairly impressive.

What do we get?

Some old lady on a museum cart throwing suitcases at other people, representing Mario Kart: DD.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

NOE really, REALLY need to wake up- and not just for advertising.

Anyone remember the Mario Kart 64 adverts?

They were ace.

The Zelda ones were a bit erm.... sexist though. But it was funny so it was worth it.
