What song should be used for the ad campaign?

[PF9]

This applies to both the Wii U and 3DS versions.

Basically, you say the song you think should be used in the ad campaign in your country.

For the US ad campaign, I was thinking "This Is Our House" by Bon Jovi. For Canada, I think a re-recorded version of "You Want It, You Got It" by Bryan Adams would be perfect (Bryan Adams is used in Canada due to CRTC regulations).

Worked for Gears.

Bring back So Happy Together and the cheap costumes, if you ask me.

Why Can't We Be Friends would be another good one.

The North American commercial should seriously just be a remake of the Smash 64 "So Happy Together" commercial, but with the 4 mascots.

There's only one.

The Offspring - Come out and Play

In general I think the song fits well with Smash Bros style gameplay. Also the song comes off of the 1994 Offspring album called "Smash" I mean COME ON IT'S MEANT TO BE

 

[HeavyLobster]

Honestly just showing the Megaman Final Smash clip from the invitational would be better than roughly 90% of all Nintendo ads from the Wii onward.

Why not go for the Smash 4 main theme (from the announcement trailer)? I always thought it was weird when they advertised previous games with songs that had nothing to do with Smash

 

[Canuckduck]

STOP THE PRESSES!




I believe that THIS is perhaps the best possible song for a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS commercial!

I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

Brilliant.

Was about to come here and post this.

If they go for something serious, the main theme is pretty swell as is.

Yes I believe that The Smash 4 main theme is perhaps the best possible song for a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS commercial.

Anything from here...

Of course, for old time's sake, there's one choice. That would be Happy Together.

But if we're going for happy love songs to promote a fighting game, I think You're My Best Friend by Queen would be hilarious.

 

[Deleted member]

They should use the Brawl theme as a nod to the Miiversians who call Smash 4 "Brawl" or "Brawl 2" or anything along those lines.

Or they could use this;

 

[Kirks21]

Seek and Destroy - Metallica

 

[Violenceman]

At first, this was going to be a joke entry, but now I honestly want them to choose this.




...Although maybe they should wait for the inevitable release of Super Smash Bros Extreme Volleyball.

 

[liets]

Gotta be this

Brains exploding is good for sales, right?

 

[supercopper64]

They should show a variety of modes/ characters and ways to have fun, but not show to much, so that people will be interested in what else there is to experience.

Since we're talking about ads...

I miss video game commercials from the 90s and early 2000s, where a smoker-voiced narrator would actually give you a brief description of the gameplay and there would be some ridiculous skit bookending it.

Here's my shot at a corny but informative 90s-styled ad for SSB4:

[COLLAPSE='Go ahead and laugh!']
Kid 1: Whatcha playing?

Kid 2: Super Smash Bros!

[Gameplay footage of Mario appearing on-screen.]

Kid 1: Cool, it's Mario!

Kid 2: Yep, and Sonic's here too!

[Gameplay of Mario vs. Sonic, then a montage of other characters.]

Kid 1: Wow! And Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and Zelda!

[Kid 2's mother and father show up, each holding a different kind of controller.]

Kid 2's Mother: Boys! How about a two-versus-two!?

[Skit takes a break. Pure gameplay montage set to the game's main music theme.]

Gravelly-Voiced Narrator: It's Super Smash Bros! Up to four players can duke it out using Nintendo's finest fighters. Build up your opponents' damage and send them flying with a devastating Smash attack! Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS now available. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U launching this holiday. Online interactions not rated by the ESRB.

[Gameplay concludes with Mario launching a MARIO FINALE!]

[Back to the four players on the couch, their hair blown back and everything around them scorched.]

Kid 2's Father: ...Best two out of three?

Gravelly-Voiced Narrator: It's a Smaaaash!
[/COLLAPSE]

And yeah, for that route I'd have the main theme play in the ad during the gameplay.
