Oh, Japan: Boobs Used As Marketing For Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

[Lord Beautiful]

...

Interesting. Perhaps they could add a sign:

"All of you young Japanese men whose age is between 10 and 15, this game is much harder than that thing in your pants right now."

I see the chap from Evony's Marketing Department got a new job...

It wouldn't surprise me.
When I first saw the Evony ads I honestly thought it was a advert for an interactive medievil themed pornographic game but I quickly realised it was a MMO.
Come to think of it most online RPG's are a little like this...

 

[Johnn Johnston]

Uhh... why does Japan do this on an amazingly frequent basis?

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

What's worse? The fact that they did this, of the fact that I am not surprised at all?

I'd go with Option C: That people actually grope the breasts while passing by.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

haha, shit. I think that's genus.

I didn't even understand the hands until I read the whole thing, but I love how they just trade mark themselves like that.

But all humor aside, I hope they do the metroid series justice.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

That's...hilarious, almost everyone actually groped them XD. I don't think it's very good advertising but it made me laugh so it doesn't have to be.

 

[That One Six]

All righty then...

 

[Paragon Fury]

Err......

I don't know, honestly.

It works...I guess.

 

[Jumplion]

......What the hell?

I don't know whether I would just stare at the breasts or slowly poke them for fear of it giving me an electric shock or something...

 

[Chris^^]

boobs sell

but that is rather weird, it may just be me but disembodied breasts stuck to a wall hold little appeal =S

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

That is both hilarious and somewhat disturbing at the same time.

While the urge to have a squeeze would be pretty compelling, the part of your brain screaming "you are being set up" would over-ride that pretty quickly.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

People have been using sex to sell things for years, why is it such a surprise now? Especially coming from a game like Ninja [http://www.good-thing.net/images/hottest_women_videogame_Rachel.jpg] Gaiden [http://www.theicecave.org/damage_control/multimedia/ninjagaidenrachelfanservice.jpg]. Although I did think that ad was a bit weird, the way they did it and all but nothing new.

 

[John Funk]

Wait what ? You think Japan is the only place in the world were they use the female form to sell things.............. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH your a funny guy.

In this form? Yes. But "Plaster wall-mounted boobs" wouldn't fit

 

[nick4118]

This is veeeeeery weird, but I can't help but wonder if it's working.

 

[GamerPhate]

At least they are honest.. most other products try to mask the harletry. But meh, I am sure if I walked past that wall, I would have grabbed em too..

 

[NotAPie]

You could poke your eyes out with those!
Jesus.

 

[Haydyn]

I see the chap from Evony's Marketing Department got a new job...

I didn't think of that until you said it. I thought I was the only one who thought it was odd seeing pictures of beautiful women who had nothing to do with the game on banner ads.

I'm starting to wonder more and more what it is about earth shaking, gigantic, beautiful, huge, firm breats that make them so, so wonderful.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

I really hate ads like this, they just use something people would want to look at/pay attention to and slip their logo in somewhere. I don't have anything against breasts, it's just the ad itself.
