Today I saw an advert on TV for 'The Sims: Bustin Out' and at the end it said "Only with Nintendo"

Have I missed something or what? I've seen this for X-Box and PS2 as well.

Mmmm.

Yeah, they're supposed to be only be talking about the connectivity between the 2 GBA and 'Cube versions. But they don't make that `too´ obvious, now, do they...

I mean, look at everyone's first-impressions, here:
"I thought this game was out on PS.2 and X-Box, too???"
"It's not a GameCube-exlcusive, is it???"


Now, imagine what all the little kiddies wanting this game `MIGHT´ think.... Could be good for Nintendo (in a way)...

Nintendo didn't really pay them off... just charged less for producing EA games.

I'm just glad to see Nintendo using the tactics Sony and Microsoft have been using for years, paying off companies to "put their stuff at the front". I'm chuffed about it.

For the sims game they mention, pretty fast, and connectivity only for Nintendo Gamecube. Making it seem like it was all only for Gamecube and not just the connectivity.

Sly buggers.

I thought it said that too but if you listen carefully it says 'OWN' it on Nintendo Gamecube not 'ONLY'.
