Why is Nintendo the only game company not afraid to joke around and do silly things like this?
Cause when other companies try being funny they get shit on
RIDGE RACCCCERR!
Because it's all they have.
>>316500347
Because Nintendo is a toddlers company.
>>316500347
>company aimed for children doing silly, child-like things
gee, i wonder.
Sony had kevin butler until he fucked up.
microsoft is only about business so they wont give a fuck about trying to be whimsical

We didn't get this in the EU one. Why are NoA so memey?
>>316500765
>NoA employees have a bomb planted in their head that goes off if they don't meme at least once every five minutes
>>316500347
Less joking around and less censorship
>>316500765
Shibata is better
Because they need to distract us from all the changes they make to their games.
>>316500347
For fuck sake bill
>>316500587
>Sony had kevin butler until he fucked up.
They still hired a PR guy to be their fake president for ads, whereas Nintendo execs are just acting out themselves
They do it to appease their fans because they know they don't have much else. They've done a lot of things to upset consumers this year so they might as well throw a bone to the fans.
>>316500347
I'd rather they be less of a memesters and stopped removing stuff from NoJ games.
>>316500347
I hope they stop doing it
It was cringe material as fuck
Playstation does silly videos too

I'd assume sony takes their presentations more serious. They still do stupid shit like this

they don't give a fuck

Holy fucking shit.

I hate this amiibo/3ds/indy assfaggot cunt, he should kill himself together with the ugly ass treehouse chink
>>316501514
This is like watching someone doing drugs, and trying their best to resist the inevitable high.
Hilarious.

Cringe thread?
>>316501010
>>316501461
>silly
This video is the greatest scumbag move of the decade.
>>316503702
Well MS had their fair share.
That little video could be the keystone of sony winning this gen.
>>316501461
Such an incredible burn. Really twisting the knife.
>>316500347
Because Nintendo knows they have to appeal to (man)children. If any other company does the same thing, their viewerbase of more mature players will consider it cringey or poorly done.
>>316503838
MS never pulled something like this.
I'm not talking about the sharing video itself. MS deserved getting their shit slapped for that.
What I mean is how they used this video to sneak in that online will cost money now.
Nobody actually picked it up because they were too occupied with shouting SONY WON SONY WON
>>316503683
Reminds me of this.
>this is what Konami was made of 10 years ago
You have to be 18+ to post on 4chan
>>316503702
>Company A does something literally nobody wants them to do and that only has negative consequences, and the backlash is so great that ultimately they backtrack on it
>Company B, their rival company, makes a joke-y video on the topic before the backtracking happens
>Company B are scumbags
And no, I'm by no means saying Sony hasn't done things worthy of criticism or ridicule, they have.

Oh how those PR props and skits are effective.
Reggie is a no nonsense slavedriver, ask the people that worked under him at Pizza Hut.
Do you think he sits on his desk spouting memes and discussing Animal Crossing all day? Jesus.
>>316504484
No no that's THUG2
>>316504083
>Nobody actually picked it up because they were too occupied with shouting SONY WON SONY WON
Well I saw quite a few people pick up on it. But that's kind of an irrelevant point because sure PSN was free before and charging for it now is bullshit, but it's not like Microsoft has a comeback for that because they charge for online too.
>>316500758
2.5 years and it's still the funniest gaming advertisement ever
>>316504083
>sneak in
They announced that PSN wouldn't be free during that year's E3 conference.
>>316501461
Man the reactions when they first showed this were so great
If you're on the top and do something silly, you risk losing everything. When you're on the bottom, you can only go up.
>>316506028
Millenials think Nintendo was always managed by these goofy personas, they don't know Yamauchi and Howard Lincoln.
>>316500347
man, Trinen got fucking fat, what happened son?
>>316504856
Who said anything about him being an awesome boss?
Managing ANY company, Nintendo no less, is a bitch. You expect a mandatory 1 hour Wii U time to chum up with the execs?
He's there because he knows how to get to people, and how to manage people. Whether you think he's a slave driver or not is irrelevant.
If he's paying shitty wages, that's another story, but I'm pretty sure that's not his job; that's HR and Finances.
>>316506896
I don't care about what he is. I care about what he ISN'T, which is certainly not a goofy executive playing games during his work hours and discussing his favorite villager with co workers.
"Nintendo execs" being themselves my ass.
>>316506582
Hell, the goofy personas started off as an accident. "My body is ready" wasn't written as a joke, it was a serious line delivered by an emtionless robot, but people loved it so much that Nintendo embraced it and started being more jokey and goofy in their presentations.
>>316500587
I miss Kevin Butler, I feel like Sony feels soulless without him.
>>316506831
isabelle overfeeds him so he doesnt become fit and confident enough to leave her for someone else
>>316507782
>"My body is ready" wasn't written as a joke
I don't think it was written at all, I think it was something he just spontaneously said.
I never find businessmen trying to sell me shit funny.
>>316503992
Now that's what I call edgy.
>>316508136
did he even say that? i thought it started as just something someone put over a creepy looking picture of him. it took off until he eventually said it for real
>>316500347
>yeah put cloud in i dont give a fuck
>>316500587
>>316500587
>lol they do it cuz they childish
>but these other companies don't do it for other reasons
>>316505130
>implying they weren't going to do the same thing
>>316507313
Those skits don't look well directed. They look amateur to hell, perhaps intentionally. The concept of it might just come from the man himself.
"So we need to give Yokai Watch more exposure, and our standard skit. What the hell is that shit about? Oh. Well, let's go with this probably-ignored character that we can use for a simple skit. We gather our popular execs here and that's that.
So, who's hungry?"
>>316508372
He said it in the Wii Fit presentation from E3 2007 I think. They were about to test the Wii Fit balance board and when someone asked Reggie if he was ready, he said "my body is ready", as in his body was ready for the workout/test.
People didn't even start quoting it until years later.
>>316508521

Your logic is flawed, those 2 are not even correlated.

>I'm over 18 it means fun is forbidden.
good goy.
literally.
>>316500347
Because they dont make good games hardly anymore, so EPIC MAYMAYS and gimmick forcing is all they have.
For some reason, Nintendo is very good making memes.
>>316513089
when they can't, things get spoopy
Why are you people too dense to realize that companies "joking around" in public are doing it entirely for publicity purposes?
They want you to like them, so that you're more inclined to buy their products.
It's marketing like anything else, like when celebrities try to seem like they're down to earth.
>>316512784
>because they don't make good games hardly anymore
You wanna run that sentence by me again buddy?
>>316514831
Because they dont make good games hardly anymore, so EPIC MAYMAYS and gimmick forcing is all they have.
Can't wait for Animal Crossing: amiibo festival and Mario Tennis though
>>316514831
Their games have been looking a bit lackluster ever since E3maybe longer agoand it doesn't help that they had to shoehorn in shit like amiibo.
>>316501893
I wish I could just live in 1998-2004 on infinite repeat.
>>316500347
I'm surprised no one's dumped those horrifying 'abstract' playstation magazine ads that Sony did
>>316507968
I still wish Nintendo would hire him, slap on a fake mustache and sunglasses and call him Bevin Kutler, VP of Marketing.
