Hahaha, that is cool. Very creative by a mysterious group called marketing at NOA.

Its good that they are focusing on a more mature market. Good on them. Very humerous indeed. I applaude NOA for that. Lets see it down under.

That's pretty much saying MMORPG. That's the first time I've heard more than 16 mentioned. Awesome.

Seriously...this is perhaps the best evidence yet that we're seeing a new Nintendo that is TRULY targeting a more mature demographic.

Nice ad, a mature theme, backed up with some core info.

This is the first time we're seeing Nintendo actually spend a decent amount of cash on advertising rather than thinking: "Oh we're Nintendo. People will automatically buy our stuff cause we are Nintendo!"

That's quite possibly one of the best ads I've ever seen...for anything.

Very creative and 'sexual,' too.

Nintendo trying to target a mature demographic is like Microsoft trying to target a younger demographic-do you all see the humor and irony in this?

Try as either might, it will never happen for either of them.

I agree. I've never seen Microsoft target kids. Plus did you know Xbox and Ps2 have more EC and E rated games then Gamecube? Ha kiddy, thats for the paedophiles. Also, I dont hate the Ps2, no wait I'm lying, I hate it but the games are good, thats ALL the system has. Stupid mal-formed brick controller.

here's something we should petition against

As long as it's not in something like Mario or Rayman it's ok. I don't care if it's in GTA or NSF or something like that.

I agree. I've never seen Microsoft target kids.That's what he was saying. Microsoft shouldn't advertise for kids and Nintendo shouldn't advertise for adults.

But that's not how it is.

Nintendo has been around for a long time, so older gamers KNOW what Nintendo is. If they see something that is new, looks cool, and is innovative (such as the two screens), as well as cheap, they'll probably buy it.

Microsoft appeals to kids a lot. Are you telling me that a kid who sees Halo is going to say that game sucks? Hell no. They'll be begging their parent to get it, or games like Grand Theft Auto. They all appeal to younger gamers, especially the immature, stupid ones.

But Zelda, Mario, Metroid and Donkey Kong can appeal to all ages (just like Mature titles do). Name someone who is over 18 and says that all of those games suck. There might be a few fanboys here and there, but overall most will tell you that the games are good.

Yep. The advertisement for Grabbed by the Ghoulies is the worse I've seen.

I have confidence that Nintendo will not pull another Super Mario Sumshine campaign with the DS.
