Fuck YES Super Bowl.ad, they're learning!
I find Nintendo's "examples" of Switch use ridiculous.
Who's going to do this. Who.
From "Not enough kids" to "Too many kids".
NEOGAF!
They showed Just Dance 2017 and Ultra Street Fighter 2 in the extended cut version, interesting 3rd-party picks, though I would've used either Super Bomberman R, Puyo Puyo Tetris (the Tetris part would be a big attention grabber) and/or Disgaea 5 Complete for the RPG market.
But the picks do give a nice nod to Ubisoft and Capcom who have been major supporters in the past (and hopefully on Switch).
Yeah but it was a mix of so many things from the name,the controller,games,price,etc.Actually, if you look at it overall, bad advertisement and communication really is what done the Wii U in. It's name, having Wii remotes in it's ads, never giving it a real premise in what few ads were created for it. To this day, people still don't know the thing even exists.
I'll play Switch outside. Already have plans with co-workers, and for 1-2-Switch it makes sense. I plan on doing the same with my daughter. Playing games and getting outside having fun, who doesn't want that?
None of that looks remotely appealing. All I want to do is just sit down and play Zelda on a TV
Holy shit they made a Super Bowl ad.
The Switch is going to do well.
There is no way my nephew's won't try that mode. What are you on?I find Nintendo's "examples" of Switch use ridiculous.
Who's going to do this. Who.
But you realize the millions potential who could be interested, ideally, in the idea of a convivial gaming device to play with friends in parties...
Will be invited to go see a trailer online by 30 seconds of a lonely geek playing a zelda game from bed to toilets.
It's Nintendo fucking up their communication again. Bravo Nintendo
Because they did a Super Bowl commercial?
It doesn't work like that...
I still refuse to believe the majority of users will bring this to a park with them. Like a lot of people will exclusively play it at home or traveling.

It's the last quarter and so if the game is close it's the most exciting part to watch.
Come on this is a bit premature isn't? Nintendo will target both as they always have.It's not like it's the same people. I loved the initial reveal video for focusing on young adults and not kids. Extended cut is a bit off putting from focusing more on kids/families and 1 2 Switch/Just Dance. If Nintendo goes to hard after that market, I'll pass as I hated the Wii.
You said it better than I did.It's a smart ad for the launch window though. It communicates the very basics of what the system does, it focuses on the one game that 95% of day-one adopters are buying this for, and it targets the market that would be willing to shell out $300 at launch.
Ads targeting families and kids make more sense once the library has grown a bit.

Do we know the 30 second spot is the one that will air during the Super Bowl? I would expect they would show the extended cut and then from there have smaller 30 second spots they show thereafter. That's what most Super Bowl ads do, one big showcase ad for the SB and then cut down versions for use after.

Yeah. The extended cut would be better if the Wii hadn't already been there done that.Man, Arms is just going to look like a Wii Boxing rehash to most people.
How many people are gonna see this commercial, say "oh I want that!" and then get denied a preorder?
Nice commercial though.
Focus is important, ask Hillary. First get core gamers before thinking bigger.That's actually stupid i'm sorry. Those people you're talking about who want to play zelda on a 300$ console.. don't need a superbowl add to do it... Superbowl adds actually reaches all the others..
It won't be a majority, but I saw many, many DSes and 3DSes in Japan and I suppose some of them were also carried along to parks, forests and whereever they went for vacation.
The ad just points out to the possibility of gaming everywhere you go and I think those examples are quite nice even though they're not too realistic for everyone. That is why most footage centers around the use at home.

Well, it was shown on the ad.None of that looks remotely appealing. All I want to do is just sit down and play Zelda on a TV

Who's going to do this. Who.
It's a Patriots Super Bowl, though. A close, exciting game is practically a lock.It could also be a blowout and no one is watching. All the big spots are at the start of the game.
Kind of misleading to non-gamers. It makes it look like all those games will be available at launch.

Yeah it's not like millions of people were seen looking for invisible animals in bushes in every parks on the planet 6 month ago you know.
