Brawl Commercials

Probably around the week Brawl is released. I don't think they announce games months ahead of time for a commerical. It's usually when it's actually released, so they can say "in stores now".

they could not even have a commercial.


I never have even seen the melee commercial. I had to youtube it just to see it existed.

I doubt that there will be commercials.
No, there will be. But it won't be a real Brawl commercial.
Instead it'll be that "Wii would like to play" crap that focuses on advertising the Wii instead of the actual game that the grandpa and his grandchildren are playing.

I hate when they do that. Make the grandparents or parents look like they are playing the game, when we all know it's aimed towards teens and pre-teens. Sure grandparents may play the game..once or twice..but why show the minority.

Better yet, don't even include humans. just the entire commercial in CG.

i bet like a couple days before its release
Me too. I have no clue why people said they would broadcast commercials in..December or January.

What game in this world has made a commercial 2 months before it was released...? Game Commercials advertise so you can buy the game now or alteast inform you that the game is out.

The SSB64 commercial is still the best.

"Imagine you and me, and me and you. No matter how we toss the dice, its plain to see. The only one for me is you, and you is me. So happy, togetherrrrrr!"

Lol a "Wii woudl like to play" commercial would suck.
Like showing littel snippets of the games to come.
This game deserves more than to appear for 5 seconds in between old people playing Wii Music.

It should be put on cinema screens!!!
Jk.

Commercials will probably come a week or two before the game comes out, but lets face it, game commercials suck to the old days. Remember the original Smash Bros. commercial :laugh:

Under assumption that there will be a brawl or brawl-related commercial,

On which channels will it be likely to be broadcasted?

And I didn't know there was a Melee commercial.:confused:

I'm a BETTING the official commercial will be released one or two weeks ahead of time.

And also the original Smash 64 commercial was one of the best video game commercials ever and it still stands as one ofthe top. I don't think Brawl could beat it. So far the only Wii commercial I've seen that isn't in Wii commercial style are the Mario and Sonic commercials. Pretty hilarious if you ask me.

No Internet?!?
I saw about 3 different Wii adverts in 3 hours tonight.

We get them all the time over here, like that one with Nicole Kidman playing Brain Training on the DS. Or that one with Will Wright playing (Mario Soccer?).

EDIT:

Especially on Channel 4, one of the most watched channels in Britain. Nintendo sponsors so much things on that.

I can already see it now...

The Wii guys pull up to a high school dance. "Wii would like to play"

We are then shown 4 people playing and they're each using a different control scheme. Mix that in with some gameplay and voila!

Since you can play as the GCN controller and just playing doesn't require any swinging actions, I bet that they won't make a "Wii would like to play" commercial but I'm not totally sure, anything can happens. :p

IF there is a commercial, it had better be a good one

If its one of those "Wii would like to play" things it had better include SE gameplay

If its a normal commercial for it...it had better have SE in it

I would assume that there will be a Brawl commercial and it will be broadcast on many channels, given the Wii's popularity and widespread audience. And, if you still don't catch it, I'm sure you'll see it on Youtube.
Thank you, Sir James, for the link. Now, is the Smash Bros. 64 commercial the one where actors dress in costumes, walk in a sunflower field, and then started a fight all of a sudden?:confused:

Because I believe I caught that on Youtube as well.

LOLHoHo

And for ppl taking his link to the Melee commercial, there's heavy profanity in in comments below. Viewer Disgression advised.

I'd like it if it was like the SSB64 commercial, but have Snake, Sonic, and a few other popular characters new to the series in it. But I'll bet it will just be another one of the "Wii would like to play" ads, just like every other game Ninty has put out.

The Melee commercial makes it look like Ridley is playable. OMGZ CONFRIMED!!!!

Anyways, the commercial will come out like a week before its release. I just saw Galaxy commercials a couple days ago...so yeah.

There will probably be a Brawl commercial in some form. Most of their big games have a commercial even if it gets little to no air play. I think the first Metroid Prime had one, and there were several "trailers" that could have been commercials for Prime 3.

Both previous Smash Brothers games had one. I figure Brawl will have one, even if it's a "Wii would like to play" ads.

As long as they go for humor, I think it will be good. Melee one was too serious... and didn't even fit Smash Brothers.

In response to all of the maybes, yes, there will undoubtably be an ad for the game.

The first commercial was classic, I saw it on the day SSB came out, and then later that night when my family happened to be at a Blockbuster, I very uncharicteristically (cause my brother had always been the one who played video games) saw the game and got it without hesitation.

That's how great that commercial was.

I saw the Melee one quite a few times too, was really excited although the commerical was too serious and kinda weird.

I don't think Brawl will get a "Wii wood liek 2 plai" ad...cause it's a hot title...but I won't rag on those ads...cause they, along with the entire strategy behind the Wii...is marketing genius.

I bet the ads will play up the storyline/show lots of cutscenes...and then for the majority of the second half show playfootage...of the flashy stuff....like Sonic and Final Smashes...probably Sonic's final smash.
