Nintendo UK has told MCV that it plans to run a major television campaign for the upcoming Super Mario 3D World. Nintendo says the advertising will be aimed at kids, families and girls. The commercials will focus on the local four-player co-operative multiplayer mode, which is bound to be a hit. Nintendo will also support the title with plenty of print and social media activity.

“Mario is the perfect title for families this Christmas, not only is it a title that family members of all ages will enjoy, but it’s the first multiplayer 3D Mario platformer ever,” said Nintendo UK product manager Roger Langford.

“Pre-launch the focus will be on online and Facebook activity, aimed at Mario fans. We will also be launching a significant TV campaign targeted towards families and kids, highlighting the key features of the game and the Wii U hardware itself. Post-launch activity will centre around gifting via online, TV and PR.”

      1. says one of the biggest disgusting nintendo fanboys on this site, overly attached to a plastic box…. how sad. this is geared towards you and what your precious nintendo thinks of its fanbase.

        1. Biggest disgusting Nintendo Fanboy? You need to stop referring to your mother like that and show her some respect. Bitch!

            1. So what is it Icky? You feel cheated by Nintendo for making YOU some how buy there console? Do you feel like Nintendo OWES you for something? Is that why you make it a personal mission to try and sling shit at them? For what? Coming out with games you don’t care to buy? I have never seen you call Sony or Microsoft out for there bullshit? You try to sound like your coming off as a critic but your just making yourself sound like a complete fucking idiot ass fanboy of a piece of plastic of YOUR choice…

          One day you will have a family and want to play something other than fps.then you will have to buy a. nintendo console.just saying.

              1. ^This.
                If its so terrible, stop visiting this website and get a life instead of trolling NINTENDO news comment sections.

        3. Says the asshole troll who has this same ” plastic box ” and it’s fanbase on his mind for 24/7 instead of thinking of ways to finally to get a girlfriend…how sad LOL!!!

      1. yeah and when it fails because that diminished crowd has moved on?? will they learn their lesson or will they get its as kicked by the ps4 and even xbox one and continue to ignore there loyal fanbase, the core market and treat them like babies forever??

        1. Ass Kicked by the PS4 or XBOX 1? Hahahahaha WOW you ARE full of all kinds of delusions today aren’t you Icky… Oh and your comment sounds just a LITTLE fanboyish… just going to throw that out there for you…

          1. be easy on him, the last time someone owned him, he dissapeared like a week anf then came with a rant about how “the fanboys” were so mean to him and shit like that, so pathetic really s: and we are the “attached to a box of plastic”

            1. that guy didnt own shit re read that, he was getting pissed off and then when i proofed his pathetic story wrong, i told him to give me proof to his little story and guess what he fucking couldnt because i told him everything and i told him to proof his story correct, he couldnt because he was mad and bullshiting. also go back and look at how pissed off he was getting and clear your pathetic fanboyism out of your ass.

              as for that thing i wrote it told you why i was here and why i criticize nintendo. jeez you guys are all obsessed with me, you google search iceazeama?? HAHAHAH that was a name i made up less than a year ago and you guys are obsessed with it.

              1. i honestly dont give two fucks about if you are a old troll or a new one, so i wont google your fucking name anytime soon, also i was talking about your fight with “nintendo is my blood” where everything you said about him, he accepted it and the own you,after you couldn’t make him feel bad for liking a compaany you were gone for like a week, mental breakdown too much?, you are so a attached to a online lines of code s:

                1. no i was gone for a day, he was so pissed off, he was making up shit, swearing yelling and to top it off i told him to proof his story and he didnt because he couldnt.

                  then i told all you clowns who jepy bothering why im here why im here if i so called hate nintendo and i told you why and didnt check back for like a day. yeah and i just saw a bunch of hypocrites who kept bothering me about it then i gave you the answers you desperately kept asking for..

                  i dont care what any pathetic fanboy says to me, i didnt know how sick and disgusting people were, just by criticizing a plastic box and a corporation. so when those social rejects wish me to die, say they hope i get cancer and die the most painful death along with everybody close to me, just so they can piss and dance on my grave. ill just ignore it, because it means nothing from a bunch of nobodies who can handle talking bad about a corporation taht doesnt give a shit back.

              2. Obsessed with you? No! Sick of you? Yes!

                If I was to goggle you all I would get was over weight dip shit and your smug face right next to it. Proof? What Proof? You think I’m going to waste my day looking up all your bullshit comments? Think again. If your going to cry little boy Icky then I think its fitting you play on a Nintendo console. You know because its for kids and baby’s as you so well put it. Stop attacking people’s console preference and stop making OUTLANDISH remarks towards Nintendo and I will stop giving you shit…

                  1. Why the hell do you own a wii u and calls it “piece of shit”. doesn’t that makes you bigger idiot than the rest.
                    Either be a gamer or get the F out or you’ll just be like the stupid fanboy, you hate so much.
                    I dont like fanboys either but im not being a bitch about it. Example idont like the xbox because its a shooter (yes it has other types of games i know) focused system. I respect it just like how i respect a lot of games from it but im not that deep into the genre. I didnt want the xbox because it kind of gave me a feeling that i have to buy a awesome computer and play games on it.

                    Its people like you that is slowly giving me a reason not to buy a ps4 and its a stupid reason if you ask me

        2. Big mighty words for systems that haven’t even come out yet. Considering also both Sony and MS have posted loses on systems since their inception. After the fans of each respective console buy the game, THEN we will see if they do anything. My money is against PS4 and Xone. Hardcore gamers are moving back to PC, and will be pushed back quicker with Steam boxes. Nintendo owns exclusive IPs and develops hardware to support their software… where the large majority of titles released on Sony and MS are third party with no real loyalty that will jump ship when console sales struggle. Guess we will just wait and see. This WILL be the last “console war”.

          1. Both companies have also made little to no money for the entire life of their respective gaming divisions. MS board members are pushing to sell off xbox and focus on core business and Sony is selling off HQ buildings to cover mounting losses… FACTS… look it up. There is little to no $$ in it for them. MS and Sony have a MUCH LARGER chance at going 3rd party or exiting the gaming market completely. Try googling before posting your butt hurt fan boy crap on here.

          2. I’m I the only one jealous of metroidvania for shitting in ices mouth? Troll busters bitch. I find it comical that this guy devotes his life to bashing a console and researches NEWS FOR IT! Then calls us glued to the box or disgusting fanboys. You devote your life to the downfall of the box, AND YOIR GOING TO BE CRUSHED! Hahaha these adds are part of the beginning of the landslide. Hahaha enjoy knack faggot, and call that a platformer, and since you can’t you’ll be back here trolling
            While we are playing Mario 3d world
            AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA icezeama has butsex with dogs and calls it next gen

    1. Nintendo says the advertising will be aimed at kids, families and girls.” HAHAHAAHAHAH OH THATS IS JUST TO GOOD!!!!!!!!

      I personally think this is a great initiative..While some believe that targeting families is the right thing to do, others would moan about ‘casual games’

    2. mywiiusgettingawesomeexclusives

      They’re focusing on families this year then next year they’ll focus on the hardcore gamers.

      1. All hardcore gamer really means is one who has a passion for gaming in general AS WELL AS a passion for specific types of games. This is why a die hard Mario fan who plays a variety of games, because the person just loves video games, is a hardcore gamer while someone who picks up each iteration of CoD, because all his or her friends play it at school is a casual gamer.

        With that in mind, the majority of Nintendo’s games are actually hardcore. Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero. I would even consider some Nintendo franchises as both casual and hardcore, like Animal Crossing, Mario Party, Smash Bros, Mario Kart. The only REAL casual Nintendo games are Nintendogs, Wii Sports, Fit, Play, Brain Age, etc and maybe some other smaller downloadable titles. Aside from a couple few casual games, Nintendo is a pretty hardcore company. People really fail to realize this.

    3. Whoa, this is fucking shameful… “Targeting families and little kids”… Fuck… They’re basically saying this game is aimed at casuals, and that traditional Nintendo fans can suck a dick.

      1. What are you talking about? Traditional Nintendo fans love family games. Nothing in the metaphorical rule book says games targeted at families and little kids can’t be “hardcore.”

        Also, you should judge a game for yourself. Even if a game is aimed at families and little kids that doesn’t make it any worse than a game aimed at hardcore teenage boys. 3D World looks fantastic, like the best Mario game ever made in all the history of Mario and you would judge it now, because of who it is aimed at?

      2. SO what you saying is that casuals are below hardcore gamers and that Nintendo is shameful for doing it? I guess the Wii didn’t sold that well regardless of how many casual gamers bought it.

      1. Exactly, I pointed that out as well. They never specifically said “girls.” If they did, it would be REALLY sexists towards both genders.

  2. “We can give you this book, we can give this book, we give you this book, we could give you this book”, now that’s advertising.

    1. Correction:”We can give you this book, we can give you this book, we can give you this book, we can give you this book”, now that’s advertisement.

    1. There’s only one option. We need to get ananymous on iceazeama and once it’s revealed that he’s next gen 720 on YouTube we should hunt him down, beat him into garden mulch and give his daughter away to a proper family

  3. I didn’t see that they were advertising specifically “girls” in their comment. It just says “families and kids.”

    If they did say that though, I think saying “girls” specifically is demeaning to both girls AND boys. Saying Mario is specific to females is demeaning because it promotes the stereotype that girls like more casual games while boys like grosser, meaner “hardcore” games. It is demeaning to buys too though, because there are many, MANY males that like Mario, so to target girls specifically would promote Mario as a “girly thing” which in turn is demeaning to males who like to play Mario games.

    It is never right to target a specific gender in matters like this. It always leads to trouble. Age group targeting is fine, because both sexes are equally represented.
