For some reason, I've been into writing posts lately. I'm not usually this outspoken on the internet. Maybe it's because all I have right now is a laptop, and this is my only form of entertainment. Anyway, here is my new topic.
It's that period of time, where the next generation consoles are getting hyped on the internet. Rumors are flying around, E3 is approaching, people aren't thinking straight. Anything is possible, and people are sucking up rumors, wishing that they were true.
As of right now, Nintendo is at the end of it's GameCube cycle. It's not finished yet, but it's getting close. Nintendo has a new position opening... we'll call it Hype Manager. You will work directly under Reggie. In this position, it is up too you to get the general public excited about the Next Generation Hardware from Nintendo. You know everything there is to know about the Revolution and the GBA Revolution. You aren't there to change the image that Nintendo already has, you are just there to drink beer with Reggie and get the people around the world to talk about Nintendo. Of course, you are a part of the NDA. So you know that you can't give to much information away. So how do you this?
Now, if I had this position, there are a couple ideas that I would go with. First thing is first, I would want to keep the people that already have a GameCube, wanting the Revolution. So I would release teasers of the Revolution on some of the games that were released for the GameCube. But you would have to bet the game to unlock this teaser. This would be done on games that are released in March and April. What would be a part of these teasers? Something like "You are not ready for the Revolution". Maybe something explaining the tecnology that will be a part of the Revolution. Not so much explaining how it's going to be used with the Revolution, just what the technology is. Example, we are just going off rumors right now, HD-DVD. Explain to people what it is exactly.
Second would be concept art. You all know that R&D are working on what the Revolution is going to look like. There would be ideas that are just thrown out. Get those pictures that have been thrown and disregarded, have some kind of music video showing these pictures. Of course to get people excited/pissed... once you watch the video, it shows it only once, and after that it locks that video. Never being shown again. So people are like what in the hell was that.
So if you had this position... what would you do to get the world Excited about Nintendo Again?
