Last GameCube advert I saw was for Star Wars: Rogue Leader at the cinema when I watched Star Wars: Episode II.

Nintendo don't need to spend more of their budget on TV advertising.. they just have to actually spend *some* of their budget on it for a change. Can't remember the last advert I saw. Mario Sunshine a year and half ago? Pathetic.

Over Xmas/New Year, Sony had loads of adverts, the "Fun, Anyone?" slogan ones.

They just want to keep that kiddy image don't they. I just wish that in Mario 128, the game starts off with Peach getting killed by various knives and sharp objects, like something from Conker.

The thing is, I've seen quite a few Gamecube adverts but mostly on Kid's Channels such as Cartoon Network :S

Which is usually the most blatantly attempting to be 'cool' thing ever. So cliche man.

I've seen loads of GC ads, before and after 9pm, which are both good times believe it or not.........

Nintendo and Microsoft will never catch up with Sony since the Playstation is a household name now. I was watching some football chat thingy on ITV, and the guy called the new Fifa, "Fifa Playstation". Come on, people like that should be banned from touching a control pad, and these are the masses Sony control. I'm not saying I want Nintendo to sell out too, but....
