Nintendo of America Releases Three TV Ads for Smash 3DS

[infomon]

Good ads, if a bit too silly for me. They're a damn sight better than the Australian ads; we didn't bother doing anything, just chucked in some stock footage and a voiceover.

'Nintendo of Australia - We Can't be Bothered.'

I would have much preferred that. Show me the game, not these foolish humans. Show me the product.

But perhaps there's a reason I'm not in marketing. Certainly not the marketing of games for children.

 

[FirestormNeos]

noobs.

Deviantart will have a field day with this… Transforming into any Smash character… I feel bad for and fans already.

: been there
: done that
: I practically own DeviantArt with all the traffic I give them.

I can't wait to see how the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U commercials turn out. As a reference point, here's the quality I'm hoping for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6eqrGpMZS4
Along with the SSB4-3DS ones, I hope that there's a mix of more funny SSB4 commercials (akin to "Platinum Game Boy Advance man" at 0:30 or "baseball Bowser" at 4:52, both in the reference point) along with "cool/epic" commercials (in the aforementioned reference point, Metroid Prime at 0:45; I mean, just WOW. Also, Star Fox: Assault at 3:19. Finally, a style like this Japanese Super Smash Bros. 64 commercial could also work as a brief advertisement).
-Today I learned that the Game Boy (Advance) Micro actually got shown on TV!

Hm, I can't imagine NoA going back to the edgy/epic feel, even for future Smash games. One thing is for certain though, as decent as that Metroid Prime commercial was/is, that narrator was terrible!

Do you mean by deviantart or the uncalled for and unecessary biased hate towards the characters?

 

[Argentic]

That second commercial made my day. The scream at 0:10 was so epic haha.

 

[Funkermonster]

The Train one is a little awkward.. but I laughed my ass off at the Food Fight one. A little absurd, but really funny. And the Doc Louis guy in the Training Day, AMAZING.

I gotta start solving my squabbles like this, much better than physical harm. Settle it in Smash!

 

[The Original Robot boy]

Release your inner smash!

That's fair enough, but I do like a bit of flair, I admit to being a guy that likes a gimmick now and then. Just a thought; a battle of the codes deal, get a rugby guy, an AFL guy, a soccer guy and Anthony Mundine as for the hell of it.

 

[Tino]

It's about time they made these commercial ads for the game. I absolutely like the food fight one. Pretty hilarious! The other two were also fun to watch.

Of course, however, they're still not as great as the Japanese ones. Those were the best ones, especially the one where the fighters were standing together on top of a cliff.

 

[SmasherP83]

At least these commercials add some type of feel to them not just gameplay. Overall I like them xD

 

[Usopp]

LMAO the grown ass man turning into donkey kong

 

[Da Black Rabbit]

Wow, congrats America. You have made commercials even more weird then the Japanese version of them.

The amount of awesome in these is unfathomable. Laughed so hard at all of them. The food fight has to be my favorite but they're all good.

SETTLE IT IN SMASH!

Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa, wasn't that the same narrator from the intro of Super Metroid?

Also the Metroid Prime commercial was made by the same guy behind Dark City, so it is hella more then decent.

you are forgiven

 

[aliensalmon]

SETTLE IT...IN SMAAASH!!!

Love these commercials!

 

[YoshiandToad]

Usually I'd find these sort of adverts cheesy, but there's something about them that hits just the right note to make it borderline charming...

...don't agree?

SETTLE IT IN SMASH.

 

[BobEugCox]

These were cute!

I'm glad they showed a variety of age groups playing Smash. I don't feel bad being a 26 year old with a sick obsession with Smash Bros anymore!

(I never felt bad about it actually...)

 

[The Original Robot boy]

I don't know. By watching them?

Impossible! you can do that!? jk also the seat video seems to be the funniest

 

[WaveDashCash]

Wow. Just wow. Mind Blown.

 

[Knee Against the World]

Man.. reading these comments.. I am still shocked so many of you enjoy these ads. They seem targeted towards 8 yr olds and the humor is cringe-worthy at best. Shame we don't get the same level of entertainment that the Japanese ads usually provide.

Yes yes yes, you and half the video game lovers in the world are just far too cool to enjoy silly humor.
Personally, I find the commercials a tad childish as well, however you gotta take into account that Nintendo must have a hard job trying to advertise to their audience because of what a huge age range they appeal to. They already have people like you and I who have been Nintendo fans all their lives... maybe they make their ads childish to attract the younger audience that may not already have sick obsession with Smash Bros.

They're the Smashers of tomorrow... they'll be playing Super Smash Bros 10 in 2084 when TV's are big enough to put Ridley in the roster...

:') Sorta brings a tear to my eye...

 

[mochiasta]

"He stole my car!"
random announcer: "SETTLE IT IN SMASH!"

 

[Ryuji]

Not bad, I like the last one best.

 

[DekuTreecko7]

VS.VS. SETTLE IT. IN SMASH

 

[Shulkonado]

That Last Seat commercial was pretty hilarious if you ask me.

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

The announcer in the commercials sound better than the actual in game announcer in my opinion.

 

[Wasp]

wow... these are awfully awkward.

 

[Captain Zack]

I don't know. By watching them?

when i first looked at the page they weren't there. no need to be rude

 

[DiggerandIndy]

I like the Japanese ads, but I like the slogan: Settle it in SMASH! I'm sooo gonna use it for a friend of mine! :-D

 

[The 0ne]

I wish real life problems could be solved like this. "you are late on the rent" "oh yeah?" Settle it in smash!

That is hiLARious!! Lol it's gonna be like that for smash Wii U cause that's the reeeeeeeaaaal one for adults lol
I got another: "Listen, we need to talk. We have to break up."
"How can you say that!? SETTLE IT... IN SMASH!!"

 

[RosalinaAnLuma]

Dead serious lol granted there seems to be the same commercials airing on either Nick or Nick Jr. But still.

._. Oh, Sakurai..

 

[Rambeard]

DK scream guy is my hero.

 

[DunnoBro]

Whenever i see an argument on smashboards im gonna post these ads

 

[EnigmaticKnight]

Someone should make a gif of the guy screaming on the bus.

 

[NFTsmasher]

Confirmed Kirby is a girl.

No, Kirby is a he.

 

[Smasherofswag21]

The TORNADO UPPERCUT guy became a new inspiration in my life.

That's gonna be me on October 3

 

[FloatingMew]

No, Kirby is a he.

That's the joke...

 

[Fruity Insanity]

OH MY GOD. I SUDDENLY REALIZED WHERE THE GIRL IN THE PIZZA COMMERCIAL IS FROM.

Or at least where I think she's from.

I KNEW SHE LOOKED FAMILIAR!

Good Luck Charlie.
