Yes, these are actual ads, from Stuff Magazine.

Innuendo is un-Nintendo.

I really didn't expect such ads from Nintendo. What kind of magazine is Stuff magazine? I take it it's aimed at adult males.

Glyph Phoenix · 05-06-2005, 12:41 PM

This will forever go down in history along with the crappy cel shaded characters in Wind Waker as "One of Nintendo's big mistakes".

Link2000 · 05-06-2005, 12:49 PM

Finally, Nintendo is getting brains when it come to marketing. Now all we need is for thier Japanese deivision to get smart.

Codiekitty · 05-06-2005, 02:47 PM

I bet they're both playing Touch Dic.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

thunt · 05-06-2005, 09:37 PM

Ninnuendo. 'Kay, Nintendo's either gone insane or we have a major lawsuit coming.

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] So funny...

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 05-07-2005, 12:08 AM

Perhaps this is Nintendo's way of reaching out to the more Mature gamers?

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-07-2005, 11:32 AM

^No, you need to put quotation marks around the word "mature."

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

N Kong · 05-08-2005, 07:19 PM

I think Nintendo has snapped.

**NintendoNut** · 05-09-2005, 02:16 PM

Nintendo snapped when they announced Celda.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 05-09-2005, 08:57 PM

I highly dislike the term 'Celda'.

Glyph Phoenix · 05-09-2005, 11:50 PM

Hey, now. Wind Waker wasn't that bad a game. It just wasn't 75% as good as OoT and the cel shaded characters were so bad they were funny. Wind Waker had some interesting elements that I think could make the whole series better if implemented correctly. It's just that Wind Waker didn't do that.

Oh, come on. You saw the final boss scene. That was hilarious. Link looked like... well, I won't go there.

SilverWind · 05-10-2005, 02:14 PM

Ah, stop laughing at Wind Waker. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Its faults really had little to do with cel-shading (and more with the tedious sailing...)

...Funny, funny ads. >_>() I like them.

Koga · 05-10-2005, 02:40 PM

Tedious sailing, and overall shortness over the game. I won't claim it didn't have enough dungeons as it had more than MM, but it took a lot longer to get through MM the first time.

Actually, both should've had more dungeons.

**NintendoNut** · 05-11-2005, 12:55 PM

I know Wind Waker was an OK game, it's just you remember our reactions when we saw the cel shaded pictures.

Sim Kid · 05-29-2005, 12:07 AM

You're all wrong. Wind Waker's faults had BOTH to do with the extreme cel-shading, which resulted in very irritating colours (AGH! MY EYES! MY EYES!) and the boring-as-hell sailing in the incredibly eye-searing-water that makes up a majority of the game and is just as boring as Gran Turismo. Link's expressions did make me laugh though

And Zeeky Boogy Doog! *Nuclear explosion*

Back on topic people.
