The Impossible Has Happened

Europe has got Nintendo adverts on TV! We've been blessed! I live in the UK, and just saw a Nintendo Wii advert. I was in total shock! Europe? Ninty adverts? Surely not! But I do not lie, there was a Nintendo Wii advert on my TV! The advert first appeared with the Wii logo, which disappeared and a Wii Remote came onto the screen against a white background. A hand then faded around it, and the voiceover said "This is Wii", then the release date came on screen.

I was in absolute disbelief. Nintendo adverts are an incredibly rare thing in Europe, so seeing one just was like: WOW!

Tell me if you live in Europe and you've seen a Wii advert!

Nintendo adverts in Europe? n the UK of all places?

...holy carp.

The only Nintendo related adverts I've seen in my Europe travels are either adverts for Pokémon and Ocarina of Time during the Christmas season around 1998.
I'll definately keep an eye out for these.

I think this thread should be kept seperate from the thread about commercials of Red Steel, since this is really the first time Nintendo has actually been advertised since...well, practically ever over heres.

I live in America and I haven't seen one yet! I guess Nintendo doesn't spend that much on TV advertisments.

Umm, there are loads of Nintendo adverts shown in the UK.

They have that big deal with the "In touch with origional comedy" between Channel 4 and the DS.

The DS is heavily advertised - the pink Lite has that ad with the woman playing Nintendogs on the train, and of course Chris Tarrent did all those Brain Training adverts.

There was a really silly one for Animal Crossing aswell XD.

Float your advertising.

I've seen a lot of Nintendogs and DS Lite adverts, not to mention Mario, on tv. I do live in the UK, as most of you should know : )

I haven't seen a Wii advert yet though.

This thread isn't about the DS adverts, it's about the Wii ads. The UK very rarely gets home console adverts.

I didn't know that you guys have video game ads. I've only seen a RedSteel commercial, though.

Normally it would be the UK.

No Wii ads on this side of the Chanal. Well, in the Netherlands, anyway. Well, unless I didn't notice them, with me rarely watching tv, and when I do it's usually the BBC because Dutch tv sucks so much. So if they exist, there's a good chance I'd miss it.

Still, if I were to ever see a Wii advert, my head would probably explode.

Well...Yeah. Nintendo is spending $200 Million on Wii advertising right now.

I also hear in GameSpot, that the commercial should come on tonight for American viewers, I think I'm not positive. But I think I saw something like that.

I saw Cars, too. They're getting their commercials on.

Lucky you! I havent seen any comercials for the wii.

I live in Europe as well. But, Haven't seen a Wii advertisement. I don't watch
much television, because of my homework. Around 9 or 10 PM, I'm sitting
and watching tv, as usual. However, I suppose that Nintendo wants to announce the
Wii a bit. It's almost 8 december.

I haven't seen a Wii ad yet. But I have seen a few for the DS.

The only advert I have seen is the one for Red Steel. I like in the US by the way.

You know what freaked me out? That PS3 advert...

I saw a Nintendo Wii commercial today, I live in USA. (last 20 seconds of it) but atleast advertisements r here.

PS3... hvent seen any adverts there.
