Actually, I made another purchase this weekend that I need to tell you about. This may come as a surprise to those who know me, but I bought a Nintendo DS. It is sexy and white and as of now contains only one game, Brain Age 2, and I am totally obsessed.
Now, I believe very strongly that advertisements for the most part do not really effect me. Until this weekend the only exception has been Apple, which seems to have reached into my brain and figure out exactly what to say to get me to want to buy every new product they come out with. These new Nintendo commercials featuring America Ferrara and Liv Tyler can now be added to this list. They just looked like they were having so much fun, and I wanted in. After some post-purchase research I have found that Nintendo is targeting adult women specifically in their new campaign for the Nintendo DS handheld console by spotlighting the above mentioned celebrities. {There is even a site devoted to the cause: The I Play for Me Boutique} Well done Nintendo....and now I'm off to play some more!
i never thought these ads would work..if you want addicting, you should try animal crossing...and then say good bye to your friends and family cuz they'll never see you again. :P
ReplyDeletewhite is pretty but it gets so dirty. :/ i wish i got the silver.
Ashley ...you are soo right about 'Animal Crossing'. It is soo very addicting! It may be 'kiddish' -I'm in my mid 30's??? geeze but yeah...you can say good bye to your life too while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should try guitar hero and cooking mama....i switch between these two games so i dont get bored...LOVE THEM!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look into these...have you guys played Mystery Heir, I think it is next on my wish list...
ReplyDeleteyeah million heir is pretty fun! but it doesn't beat phoenix wright ace attorney! (you gotta get those games! even marylin manson said it was an awesome game...and i didn't know he played ds...)
ReplyDeleteUgh! So jealous about the Nintendo DS! I just read about the Guitar Hero game for DS...looks neat. I'm totally with you on Apple too...thinking of switching to AT&T just to get the iPhone!
