Do you think they still send out cup noodle trucks in the world of ruin
How did Nintendo actually get away with this? The entire game is a parade of blatant product placement

As long as they have enough coleman camping gear to survive the night
Liam Johnson
That was patched out right?

How successful is Pikmin (game sales) and how come you don't see Pikmin making cameos in other Nintendo series? Like for instance in say Legend of Zelda Minish Cap?

PLEASE BUY DISSIDIA

Because it actually drives home the fact that 'this is earth, this is the planet and the universe WE live in'. Product placement isn't always inherently bad. Of course you have shit like this: youtube.com
But product placement can just be coincidental. If you're trying to build a world and tell us that these are people in this world, you have products. We as people consume products. How awkward would it be if everyone was drinking unmarked cans of soda, or going to nameless fast food restaurants? They wouldn't feel real, and nor would the world if products were simply non-existent. Would Pikmin feel more like the Earth if you just picked up label-less batteries and blank bottlecaps?

>I can see food product placements being effective because that shit works on a lot of people, but nobody’s going to run out and buy Duracells just because they saw it in a game.
Didn't Alan Wake have a bunch of Energizer product placement in it?
