Three DS Ads

There have been three new TV/movie ads released on the DS today, and all feature an interesting motive. The commercials feature two blue screens with a tempting voice in the backgroud asking you to touch it. Then the two blue screens turn into DS screens. This is the basic jist of all three commercials.

(All commercials are in Quicktime format and you will need a Quicktime player to view them)

First Commercial
Second Commercial
Third DS Commercial

Now personally I don't think these commercials do justice to the DS. The touch screen feature isn't even 100% said more suggested. Never mind that none of the other features were even remotely suggested. The least they could have done was have a game being played on the DS with the stylus on the bottom screen. No price or games mentioned either. I really don't like these commercials and I think I could have made better ones (with a budget of course). Although the commercials do seem to push the message that it isn't just for kids.

Also Nintendo has updated its site to include a rather legnthy article and and again all of the commercials and ads. (Click the Nintendo source for the article.) It is good to see that Nintendo is including its advertising of the DS on its own site as it so rarely gets updated with good and new information. Hopefully more will be coming our way soon.

I really think Nintendo could do better with advertising. Instead of having a stylized commercial I would like to see something to the point.

"Nintendo DS, it has curves, it has ears, it has touch and it has connections." In the background is people playing the DS.

Must better in my opinion.
