I had my girlfriend watch the extended commercial after watching the 30 second spot to get her opinion as a (relative) outsider. She thought the full-length ad was pretty solid and really sold the overall platform, whereas the TV spot made it too easy to ignore the console and just focus on Zelda, and thus generally wasn't very strong. Which is pretty much exactly as I felt.

Small sample size but there was no reaction at all from the bar I was at. This will be the Wii U 2.0
I look forward to the convincing answer to my PM.If you have a problem with the direction of a thread or specific post, PM a mod. We'll decide on a case-by-case basis.
Pretty much like anything else on the forum.
So, was it a waste of $5 million for that ad?

Why would that be?Apparently if you watched the game throught the fox sports go app, it didn't show the commercial.

I guess it was always a gamble to buy the ad in the 4th quarter. Looks like Nintendo just came up short with this one. Patriots are looking like hot garbage.
Well... not to be "that guy" but talking video games or even Nintendo at a bar is a huge barrier to what a person is really after when frequenting such a place. Nailing a peice of tail. At least that's my experience and perception lol.Small sample size but there was no reaction at all from the bar I was at. This will be the Wii U 2.0
I chuckled."Sample size but let me make a firm prediction off it"
Poor Wii U can't catch a break.Everyone at my bar mentioned why they should buy this Switch thing for Zelda when it's also coming out for the Wii.

Were you on a landing plane?Everyone around me clapped after they saw the commercial.
Sounds like the funeral should have been for Nintendo instead.No one mentioned the switch at the night-time funeral I went to and had it streaming on my tablet with the speakers on, drowning out the eulogy.
I look forward to the convincing answer to my PM.
Tomorrow morning there will be a top 10 Super Bowl Commercial list from a number of sites. With how drab many of this year's commercials were, Nintendo might get lucky and be on a number of them. It was pretty good, but definitely not the best commercial this time around, and not at much of an impact as the Pokémon one last year.
A condescending post to a mod?
Dude, come on..
Funny or impactful commercials are trending.
Nintendo wasn't that. Already looked through some commercials top 10's and Nintendo is in none of them
Nobody at the bar I was at gave a single fuck about this commercial
I was waiting for their reactions, and nothing...
All the headlines are going to be about Brady, that Comeback, and Falcons choking.
Don't think they'll be much talk about the commercials this year. All of the ones I saw were forgettable honestly. I think the only one I found interesting was Fast and Furious, but only because i've only seen the first two. I didn't realize they fight against submarines and tanks now.
But hey, at least they put something out there and now have a commerical to use

”Think about your 40- to 45-year-old parent who has really fond memories of playing Zelda growing up, sitting there watching Super Bowl with their 10- or 12-year-old child who maybe hasn't experienced Zelda yet."
”This isn't just a six to eight week launch campaign. This is really a 15 month campaign for us, to say nothing of our plans for 2018. You're going to see a number of other touch points, including additional 30 or 60 second executions in the coming weeks that emphasize the full proposition, meaning those multiple demographics, including kids, teenagers, young adults, parents, active gamers, casual gamers and so forth."
You guys put way too much stock on an immediate impact a Super Bowl ad. It's all about spreading awareness, especially in the NFL-loving USA, and it did its job.
For example, how did the data for the Pokemon SB ad look?

...Switch trended a lot more than Zelda online for a bit, but I'm pretty sure that in essence this was an ad for Zelda as much as it was for the Switch...

...Nintendo's Marketing Manager has already confirmed a campaign for more ads to cover all their bases for the next 15 months...
The question, though, is: Did it?The amount of awareness that was spread is likely extremely limited. And those who did see the ad and become interested, how do you think they'll feel come March 3rd when they realize they aren't getting a Switch because Nintendo is shipping a pathetic amount which have all been sold to die hard fans (and some scalpers) through preorders?
I do agree with you that what counts going forward is their campaign throughout the rest of the year. The original Wii had a very good, very concise ad campaign that helped sell the system. Switch needs the same. But considering so far Nintendo hasn't exactly been consistent on what the Switch's primary role will be (handheld? console? motion control? traditional gaming?) with their own fanbase, I can't say I'm optimistic they'll have a strong marketing campaign.
I would be pretty surprised to hear everyone at a bar watching the super bowl be so well versed in the Wii U release schedule. Or to know what a Wii U is.Everyone at my bar mentioned why they should buy this Switch thing for Zelda when it's also coming out for the Wii.
