WII WOULD LIKE TO PLAY

>koto intensifies

>ahhhh it's a nip, im losing my cottonpickin mind!

>vaguely racist
it really isn't tho unless you overthink it. the idea is just that these two guys look out of place and that parallels the idea that the wii is something strange and new that you've just gotta try for yourself. nothing about this plays into a negative stereotype specific to the japanese or even asians, you could flip it and have a bunch of asian families with white guys in suits or black guys in suits and it would work the same.

>the Japs just show up like benevolent aliens bearing futuristic technology.
>racist

>millennials pissed and cummed their pants over this

Story?

That's literally what happened irl though.

Iwata thought the Japanese people were too open to strangers, something their culture looks down upon. Reggie wanted the people to be friendly because the commercials were aimed at America. Iwata originally said no, but Reggie said the trust placed upon him, should allow him to make decisions for Nintendo NA.

Reggie pushed for bundling Wii Sports with the console.

Long story short, Reggie had even less power at Nintendo than people thought.

was the overtly sexual "Touching is Good" marketing campaign for the DS really necessary?

it made me buy the game so yes

Isn't it just a commercial about 2 nintendo representatives demonstrating their new product? It's pretty meta for an ad campaign.

Guy on the right kinda looks like an ugly bastard you'd see in a doujin.

People thought Reggie had power at Nintendo and wasn't just a funny figurehead for video presentations?

I didn't like these commercials and thought japanese autism was the cause of it. never would have thought reggie came up with it.

same

Wtf did Iwata want, for the japanese guys to be like "fuk u fat american piggus, maybe if you buy wii you get fit!"

>being a kid in 2007

Thanks for brining back some weird fucking memories. Dad bought this for me when I was young for some reason. The minigames were infuriating but I kept doing them since I was horny and thought the MC would get laid eventually.

Imagine how cool it would had been if all the horror and rpg exclusives had been translated for international audiences.

The wii is a genuinely great console if you speak moon runes.

the thing I didn't like about these commercials was that stereotypical YOOOOOOooo japanese music. made it feel too japanese and they used it regardless of what game they were advertising. makes no sense. just because the game is made b japanese people they have to use YOOOOOoooo music?

hi user, i was born in 1998 and i'm 24 now
and you complain about the passing of time yet you're still stuck here wasting time aren't you

Probably wanted a total reconceptualizing of the commercial rather than trying to play off perceived exoticism.

fucking kek, read it in Trey Parker's voice

Best thing ever happened to this society

Hey man, it's crazy unusual tech from the far east, how else were they gonna get that across?

2007 was 15 years ago. There are people who were kids in 2007 that are married with kids and homes now

>reggie goes out of his way to insist on creating one of the best ad campaigns and slogans of all time
>proceeds to veto the american release of literally every cool exclusive the system proceeeded to get afterwards

I don't get that man

I thought these commercials were the best as a kid so they worked on their target audience
painting a human race as anything other than human is kinda racist. ask any asian american who had to deal with
>hehe le human calculator
comments by gringo retards

it's advertising to people who don't play video games. it's completely necessary

Shit, there are probably people born after 2007 that are posting in this thread right now

It was the mid 2000's, Americans didn't realize yet that Japan was still under a massive recession from a decade prior and still thought that they would one day be a super power. This was the age of prime DBZ and Pokemon, so they leaned heavily into the Japanese 90's stereotypes

Okay I'll ask my asian gf while she takes my bwc

he had enough power to kill several fucking games coming to america and even europe in some cases. plus NoA had THE WORST amiibos shortages of all regions.
He was still a disaster for NoA.

Why would he kill games? Nintendo should know that a significant part of their customers are weebs and will buy the most Japanese games.

>never got 2 or 3 as later versions
terrible
>4 or 5
thank god what a shit design.

Reggie was always a worthless piece of shit.
He had like 1 maybe2 decent ideas.
The rest doomed NoA and even NoE to terrible fates.

He wanted them to file paperwork for approval. When said paperwork was approved by management, an invitation containing details of the two men would then be sent to pre-approved households, whereupon reply and consent of given form, would then allow the pair to introduce themselves to the homeowners via email. After five years of getting to know each other, the men could then be invited over to one's home to meet and engage in Wii-related activities. This is how the culture works. Please understand, kudasai.

It's known that under Iwata NoA was basically gutted. Bad at first but on the other hand.

>Sega of America vs Sega of Japan feud

That ad campaign was great, one of the best things of the Wii era for how it did encapsulated the feeling of expansion of videogames and mass appeal (without the downgrade) in ads that showed personality instead of the run of the mill souless marketing stunt seen nowadays.

You forgot to mention the award winning wii commercial were two Japanese workers are sitting around doing nothing for unpaid overtime because being at work means you are working and working is better than being a nail to be hammered down.

Wait. Is that real? Post a link.

What seems a good thing in the short term may not be a good thing for the company in the long run; this is the mindset Reggie followed at Nintendo. Sure it would be nice not being too much of a faggot about it but it was the correct move from a president's perspective despite clashing with what some of the audience would expect. This is nothing new.

It's here, really a good commercial

>choosing not to bring games to massive markets in America and Europe because for minor translation costs and minor printing costs
>because they're too Japanese
Very Japanese games are a core part of Nintendo.

>blaming everything on reggie

Weak

Not at all. Nintendo never had a monopoly over weebs, their core were always their own games.
