That's just crass. I'd expect that shit from 32X-era Sega or first-generation Playstation.

I sometimes wonder when the game industry will just hang up a big ass "NO SMELLY GURLZ ALOUD" sign. I'm not asking these systems to change my tampons or whatever (sorry) but it'd be nice to think about the DS and not instantly have an image of an orgasming woman spring to mind.

That's degrading.

Just to point out that there's a version for girls too, but I don't have an image of it. This is just like the GBA SP campaign. It's not "crass" or "degrading" if both genders do it. Right?

It's still pretty immature. Much as I dont' object to staring at hot guys, there's a time and place for that. Like on the subway.

[primigenus]

isn't it ironic, then, that in pursuit of the attention of the "mature" audience, the result is immaturity? does that say more about nintendo or about its "mature" audience? marketing or appeal?

that said, MS and Sony have done plenty tasteless ads. negative marketing is also marketing.

MS and Sony have done plenty of tasteless ads

Hence why Sony didn't appeal to me until it recieved killer aps like FF VII and SoTN, and why I still won't give MS a second glance. I'm a little disappointed that Nintendo is (belatedly) sliding down the same marketing toilet.

Oh well. It's nothing to really get worked up about.

So, there's ads like this and yet someone saying they like Metroid and Zelda at a porn site is too taboo?
