When Nintendo Decided All Bets Were Off in Advertising
One commenter on this set of Nintendo ads pictures says it best: These ads have successfully convinced me that a Gameboy is better than sex. Screw the 3ds, I need to get my hands on the original. And isn’t that exactly what Nintendo decided to go for here? Every company does it at one point or another. It seems that the creative department decides to drink a ton of alcohol one night, jump the shark on its campaigns and somehow release these into the wild.
Clearly the Nintendo people were three sheets to the wind when they made these ads. Then again, they’re not that bad! Well, a ferret in your trousers? Hmmmmmm
