Wiitastic Ad-Experience

These days it’s not uncommon for companies to setup youTube branded page as a way to generate interest around product offerings or compliment other online efforts. Most of these pages go the route of some branding elements and a couple videos with some space for comments. The standard youTube page.

But Nintendo recently put up a page that took a more novel approach for getting your attention. Starting out as a standard common looking youTube page and turning into something quite different.

Take a look at it for yourself and let me know if its something you like? or just a novelty.

that is pretty sweet, a good idea. As long as someone watches long enough for it to start, and it isn’t to long that they just close it :)

@steve,

What I really like about this approach is that even if you do not stick around to the ‘cool and edgy’ part of the ad, you still get great footage of the actually product. Which is arguable just as important.
