While watching Black Books, in the advert break, there was the GameCube ad. First time either me or my Brother had seen it.

And it was good! (mouths gape as they hear of a Nintendo advert being good!)

Yes, even my brother, a relatively anti-Nintendo person liked it. (He still plays all the classics, but always complains that 'the SNES version was better')

And it showed at least some of the games. Maybe not in game shots, but you can hardly compared, when neither the X-box or PS2 ads were anything remotely to do with gaming. At least these had shots highlighting some of the games.

I think my brothers statement at the end sums it up- "Why do Nintendo have such a cool advert?"

:D

hmm... actually something about a fly advert sounds familiar... maybe I've seen that one but I can't remember it really... maybe someone just told me about it...

It's a sad state of affairs when you talk to your mates about the last advert you saw n TV isn't it?

You don't want to see the Xbox ads - There is a particulalry poor 'Musical Mosquito' that tries to be all clever and fails, and a really poor dead Or Alive 3 ad, with the old 'it can be hard to adjust back to reality' idea.

dunno if you can download it, I expect it. Anyway, that's odd, I haven't actually seen any of the Xbox ads I don't think... (if I did it can't have been very memorable :D), but luckily causght the Ninty one... and Black Books is in a prime time slot too!

(avoiding the natural pun of "did you see in the commercial break between the Teletubbies and Power Rangers...?")

I still have not seen it - It seems to avoid me, and all i see is more 'PLAY MORE - GIVE IN TO THE US CHOICE XBOX, XBOX, XBOX, XBOX etc etc....... boring! I want Ninty action!

Is there anywhere on the web I can get it?
