I suppose it doesn&#8217;t help that very few of them made an attempt to <em>show<\/em> what the game was like. The <em>Pikmin<\/em> ad did feature the little creatures buried in soil, but&#8230; yeah, tell me, does seeing weird stuff inside a cube make you rush out and buy a game? Didn&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You&#8217;d think it&#8217;d have been funnier to have an actual Nintendo character wrapped in bandages. Showing Kirby in traction would have been an excellent example. Not only would it be amusing to see a nondescript pink puffball suffering from a broken limb, but it wouldn&#8217;t have been a hard image to make as either a prop or a CGI model.<br \/>\nThe glass cube is the only thing about this image to cement it as video game related, and even that&#8217;s a loose connection. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see this image reappear in the near future for accident benefits or car insurance ads. &#8220;This man is kept under surveillance so only the <strong>best<\/strong> accident benefit agencies can get to him!&#8221; Take me out and shoot me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Cute characters.
