First Wii Print Ad

GoNintendo was sent in the above German Wii print ad via a reader. Pretty slick if you ask me, not that you did, but I’ll opine anyway.

  1. *Drools*Wow, it's beautiful…Hmm…Does this mean that the Wiimote pictured in the yet-to-be-deemed-official Wii advertisement is the finalized version? Call me pathetic but… …I think I'd pay $250 for the poster itself, at the moment.:O*Clears spot on wall in bedroom*

  2. I wouldn't hold any truth to that this is the "finalized design". lol. Not till the day before the Tokyo Game show that is.On this AD:I see this ad aim at gamers, hardcore and those more in the know. You'l lsee this in Maxim and EGM magazines.Then we'll have other ads that will show people playing the games wirth the same tag line and those will be aimed at causal gamers and be in Time Magazine and on CNN.Also noticet that it's "Wii" and not "Nintendo Wii" and that the Nintendo logo is very tiny and Apple like in the ad( It's there and you know who made this product, but it's not grabbing the attention away from the product it's promoting)

  3. By jove, you're right! And what's more, the 'RETURN ARROW' and '#' symbols are rereplaced by the + and -!

  4. The ever-changing visage of the Wiimote! It's the Madonna of console controllers!That said, it's an incredibly sexy ad. Nintendo's branding is really on-the-money this time around. (Of course, their logos have always been really cool, but the whole package is coming together now.)

  5. Now that I think about it, maybe the Wiimote is in black and white to make the blue one the Wii more stand-outtie.
