The launch for the Nintendo Switch is swiftly arriving and to drum up some hype Nintendo Japan has released a number of new commercials for a few of the games coming to the platform. The trailers are for 1-2-Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and a Nintendo Switch overview video.

Japan: Here’s Four TV Commercials For Nintendo Switch
Now to see what else comes to the States. So far haven’t seen one on TV past the Super Bowl.
Knowing Nintendo’s inner dumbshit known as Dumbtendo, they will probably think that one single commercial during the Super Bowl will be enough til March 3rd. :/
Considering their recent marketing strategies, I’d say that’s a baseless accusation.
I guess I should have clarified I was talking about NintenD’OH! *facepalm* of ‘Muridiots. Anyway, tell me. If it’s so baseless, where are the Switch commercials at on USA Network or Cartoon Network? Because I sure as hell don’t see them!
How would I know? I don’t watch Cartoon Network, nor TV anymore really. I tend to stick to online now. XD
There in lies the problem. You aren’t thinking of this objectively but subjectively. You aren’t thinking about the millions that still do watch television & ONLY watch television. How are they supposed to know? Word of mouth? Yeah. That worked out SO WELL for Wii U!
||Your country is too fat, especially since it’s the Xbot homeworld, we don’t want to spend billions to amuse Xbot diseases…||
You get ’em, Commander!
How am I not thinking of them? I merely said I have not seen any as I don’t watch TV.
I don’t really think so.
Its confirmed that a nintendo switch commercial will show during the kca.
Not good enough as the console will be out long before then. They need to do continual marketing on television for the weeks leading up to launch & well after launch, not just scattered about here & there.
ExACTly! We’re already seeing so much more advertising about the Switch before release than we did for Wii U during the last 4 years. It’s an improvement, for sure. No, it’s not perfect or as aggressive as it should be, but it’s still leagues ahead.
With all of that money some of us gloat about them having, not paying for continual advertising on television or internet is just ridiculous! What the hell are they doing with all of that money!? There is such a thing as saving TOO MUCH for a rainy day!
Keep up the marketing Ninty. That was one of the core issues with the Wii U launch.
They felt social media buzz was enough to carry the Wii U & 3DS, but based on their current strategy they seem to have realized that a solid amount of traditional marketing is also required. Rather than just advertise one Smash Bros. here or a Super Mario Maker there, they seem to be prepared to advertise more products more frequently outside of the internet.
Long story short: Don’t expect their idea of going all-out this generation to be “Super Mario 3D World at Pottery Barn.”
Showing the 1-2 Switch commercial to anywhere other then Japan would actually hurt sales I think.
The second video is not working! Did you again link to inofficial sources?
From now on I’ll call it “Switch-awa” ;-)
Boy, that commercial makes my Japanese celebrity workday look alot more fun! For example Switch will make been driving around so much more entertaining!
BTW I’m Norwegain, not a celebrity nor do I get driven around x)
||Silence and get back to work…||
Only a joke, Commander. Those commercials weren’t that good.
