I have to say that DS commercials are sort of brilliant. Nothing like a popular girl celebrity playing Mario between shooting their television show to peak the interest of girls who wouldn't normally game.
Of course, it's been mostly mainstream (usually) casual games. But, just the other night I saw one for Professor Layton, which seems to have been a hit with core gamers a while ago. Personally, I was sort of put off by seeing that chick from Friends play a favorite game of mine, but at the same time I was glad that Layton was making cash money.
Question for discussion: What DS games would you like to see promoted? Is it possible to have games on the DS that are primarily for core gamers?
