New Tetris DS commercial

by Blake Snow { Mar 15th 2006 at 6:00AM }

The above Tetris DS commercial is nicely done, displaying how a skydiver might play Tetris in mid-air with friends. Is it just me or are Nintendo commercials getting better? Look out for Tetris DS when it hits store shelves on March 20.

SilverDogg @ Mar 15th 2006 6:29AM

make more commercials like this please!

Thats actually a very impressive commerical. Let me guess, its USA only.

We in the UK have to put up with the god awful NOE lack of advertising.

bring on the 8-bit music revoloution :D

Very good advert. For such an old game, it looks quite fun to play. I certainly remember playing multiplayer testriphere, and batttling an opponent in addition to blasting blocks off yourself enhances the game magically. Lovely stuff.

"Thats actually a very impressive commerical. Let me guess, its USA only.

Wow. Now that's funny, because normally our commercials in the USA suck when compared to foreign commercials.

I personally find most of our commercials here bland and uncreative. I'd sooner change the channel then sit through 30 seconds of what they are trying to advertise. Of course this commercial here is an exception.

My fellow Americans. If you want to advertise something to me through the media, then at least make what your advertising interesting to look at. Make the commercial creative and imaginative.... and overall entertaining.

Feh. Give me "Square! Rectangle! Trapezoid! Tetris-oid!"

My mistake -- At first I saw a bunch of falling bricks, and thought they were PSPs!

Anyway, cool commercial.

Great commercial. Funny thing is as soon as I saw it on here I saw it on tv.

Andy @ Mar 15th 2006 11:01AM

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I'm never going to get a DS, and this is a perfect demonstration of why I won't be getting one.

Matters @ Mar 15th 2006 11:34AM

Andy why is that? Have you not looked in the mirror recently? You like psp's HELLZ YEAH better? It's like a nut you can play with outside?

HAH. What a joke.

If I had to guess I'd say you don't drink Mt. Dew either for the same reason. (Commercials with skydivers being the stupidest thing you've ever seen).

This commercial is pretty good. It's a hell of a lot better than anything Sony has come up with in the past 2 years.

I like it.

J B Cougar @ Mar 15th 2006 11:37AM

Wow Andy, thanks for the creative argument. You really got the conversation moving to new heights with that one.

BREAKING NEWS! Newsflash -- DS worldwide sales plummet after gamer posts negative opinion of DS on Joystiq forums!!!

Nice commercial.

I've been playing the demo of this I got from the Nintendo store all week. The new push mode is great. Sort of like a Meteos/Tetris hybrid.

designerwhite @ Mar 15th 2006 12:26PM

hmmmm... not turning your system off for a week... that's hard core. You like tetris a lot. I wouldn't be able to put down all the other games for that long.

ANDY

And I suppose commercials showing rodents shrieking about nuts or cheese is any better?

At least Sony nailed their main demographic perfectly, what with the shrieking, tiny cranial capacity, focused solely on you-know-what (seeing as how 96% of PSP owners are male, you should probably know what I mean)

Fantastic ad, by the way. But then again, the ten-player online multiplayer is what sold it to me a couple months ago.

And again, ANDY. Judging a game based solely AND an entire handheld based on commercials? My God you're shallow.
