Nintendo's Switch Marketing
Posted: May 1st, 2017, 11:26 pm
So after the successful "Wii want to play" ads from the Wii days, Nintendo never really found a way to market the Wii U. For many average consumers it was probably like Nintendo went out of business. Well, it seems with the Switch they're going all out with the marketing. First they spent big bucks on a Super Bowl Ad. Then they did some PR stuff with Jimmy Fallon to get the hype machine going. More recently the've decked out Target's in Mario Kart themed stuff. Finally, they're doing a Happy Meal cross promotion with McDonald's. It's almost like they want people to remember they exist or something lol. Personally I really like the Target campaign. It's silly and a fun way to get people engaged/talking about the company.
The McDonald's Happy Meal thing I planned to stay away from. I'm a grown man. I can't be ordering Happy Meals just to acquire Nintendo figures. Or could I? If you're curious I go over this exact ridiculous predicament as I recap my Happy Meal Adventures over at my website. It's completely absurd.

How bout any of you? You planning on hitting up some McDonald's for kid's toys? Or what do you think of their recent marketing efforts in general. I mean anything is better than what was going on with the Wii U right?
