There's so many things wrong with that pic...god...
It's a vision of the future
the weird thing is someone had to jump backwards for the screenshot to be taken
Could they have two NES' and two TV's on the table? That would explain how the mother and son have their view off focus from the pictured television.
There are 3 things wrong.
Brown haired kids looks like Justin Trudeau
Blonde kid looks like Tim Heidecker
holy shit vintage gaming, it's just an old ad
one of the best ads ever, since so many people it share it
I was a manager at K-Mart before they imploded, which was around the time the Wii U launched. We legitimately advertised it as an add on to the Wii both in store and in the paper no matter how many times I pushed back and fought on that.
Shit like that definitely did not help the Wii U.
4. He's not looking at the screen.
What kind of ads were made?
I'm only now realizing they didn't even shop him behind the desk, so the vita is massive compared to him and his exclusive left handed oriented GameCube controller
>Still calling the Vita as PSP
1° That's a Vita, not a PSP
2° Mario Kart 8 on a Vita
3° Using a controller to play a Vita
4° Using a gamecube controller
5° He's not even staring at the device
6° The screen is just showing a promotional picture, not the actual game
5, based on the angle and perspective of where hes sitting (hes sitting on the corner of the table), that is a massive fucking vita or its manlytears in the pic
TIGHTEN UP YOUR ASSHOLE
Famicom clone got the better one
I had a family game when I was a kid.
>all those close up shots of Ahnuld's face
>the pinball game is casino themed
7. Controller's joystick and buttons are on the wrong side of the controller
8. He's positioned on top of what the vita is set on and seemingly is in front of the vita as well
Aw shit ned bigby needs to work out more
>implying that's a bad ad
SEGA always had the best ads.
>tfw no one has ever taken a photo of the complete mounted Sega System with the Master System converter attached
WHY NOT
>Gamers are morons
I know it's true but how they could do this? Insulting your customer?

To be fair you need a pretty high IQ to play Pegasus Nr 1 na swiecie
>5° He's not even staring at the device
Boy, that's an understatement, they're on completely separate planes of existence.
4.Maybe 5.
>PSP
lul.
His hair is the worst.
To add to the list of errors - the image of the guy with the Gamecube controller is mirrored
It's deliberate so people will repost this ad forever.
Exactly what I said. They literally called it an add on to the Wii.
It's annoying that something like that is even necessary for the switch. It should be possible to charge it while it's in tabletop mode, but some retard decided to put the port in the one place that makes it impossible to do so.
holy fuck, this would cause a huge shitstorm nowadays
It caused a huge shitstorm back then.
No PSP game is as eye catching as Mario Kart.
SAD!
>.2 seconds of gameplay per ad
>nowadays
Underage
Are there ANY good ads for this thing?
You can't polish a turd.
because touching her spine would be too creepy. but this is not creepy at all
Seeing this reminds me that I've seen hardly any ads for current gen consoles.
Maybe a couple Switch ads and that PS4 one that starts at the PS1 and goes through the ages but that's it.
I guess ad execs are seething at the internet, all advertising these days is companies memeing on twitter.
The 90s always had the greatest ads.
JOHN ROMERO’S ABOUT TO MAKE YOU HIS BITCH
what happens if you click it
Not much has changed, I see.
PlayStation ads were always weird.
There's a PS4 elevator ad that puts a lot of emphasis on multiplats like Battlefront II as if they had some exclusivity, it plays on FX constantly.
Nothing's wrong with it. Excited kid plays on his Gamecube, while his sad friend has to watch Mario Kart gameplay on the Vita.
7. He looks like a fag
I'm sure it's one of those cases when a designer makes a picture, but his boss isn't happy and asks to add this and that to make it more "exciting". After several attempts this is what he is happy with.
No idea. Haven't seen a commercial in years really.
>4° Using a gamecube controller
actually you can now use a gamecube controller to play mario kart 8 on the switch.
SIXTY BUCKS FOR A GAME?
This is why Sega should have brought Madou Monogatari when they had a chance
SMB has a two player mode right? Couldn't the second kid just be waiting until his brother died so he can play as Luigi?
After making that ad, anything bad that happened to the Ouya was justified
Speaking of crash

>(((Big Nose)))
Throw the Jews down the well.
Unironically so people wouldn't think its one machine and get mad later they need to buy all the component parts.
lol imagine buying an atari jaguar or an snes or a genesis
The only video games I see here are just, really basic stuff like billboards or on the sides of buses. And even then, the only games I recall seeing advertised are Doom, Overwatch, and Destiny 2.
These sorts of ads are designed to get you to share the ad for word of mouth while the consumer in actual need of such a thing will let go of the terrible advertising when it comes time to buy the product.
For example, a furniture company does the same tacky thing locally with terrible commercials -and people bitch about them- but in the end in the price range they do the best and make money hand over fist.
In this case, the base style for the Switch as a stand is pretty good, even if the picture is fucking retarded. The only reason we're talking about this specific seller is that they made a dumbass picture you felt like sharing.
His hair is also on wrong.
I don't think there's a single good PSP ad out there.

>Still remembers it
>Still talks about it
It worked didn't it.
If the ultimate point is to make consumers aware a product exists yeah, stupid inflammatory bullshit works.
