Promotional Consideration: Dual screen theatre

Posted Jan 6th 2008 8:00PM by Eric Caoili

Promotional Consideration is a weekly feature about the Nintendo DS advertisements you usually flip past, change the channel on, or just tune out.

The following DS Lite ads were taken from a series of Nintendo-sponsored station identification pieces (idents) aired over a year ago on Channel 4. For those of you unfamiliar with idents, they're short spots, often themed, stuck in between television shows to help "brand" the channel. In the case of this set, the UK public-service TV station bookended its comedy programs with Japanese theatre-styled advertisements for the DS's features and games.

They're some of the most creative commercials we've seen for the handheld, so don't skip this post!

Goal x Goal, Demo x Video

Fanboy alum James Konik is fancy enough (and located in Japan enough) to have access to the Everybody's Nintendo channel on the Wii. Using the service, he downloaded a demo of Winning Eleven Goal x Goal to his DS, and recorded a play session of the demo for the edificiation of the poor plebes without access to the currently-Japan-only Wii channel.

The game is a much more traditional interpretation of soccer gameplay than Inazuma Eleven, realistically depicting soccer action instead of high-flying anime-ness. According to the detailed impressions provided along with the video, Goal x Goal is an admirable handheld translation of the vaunted Winning Eleven series, with the added ability to change tactics with the touchscreen.

New at Japanese DS stations: Yosumin, Winning Eleven

Japanese DS owners (i.e. everybody) will have some new demos to try at DS download stations this month, in the form of Square Enix's puzzle game Yosumin and Konami's adorably named World Soccer Winning Eleven DS Goal x Goal! We're hoping that the availability of both of these games will lead to more information, especially about Yosumin. We've already learned from the screens that Winning Eleven features a slot machine that dispenses attribute points.

Yosumin is the rectangle-clearing puzzle game first seen here as a demo, which, being a puzzle game, is somewhat of a departure for SE. We're watching this one with interest, because if it's successful, Square Enix's DS offerings may begin to diversify further. Also it's cute.

Winning Eleven DS Goal x Goal: Screens x Screens

Check out some screens from the other Eleven. This isn't the soccer RPG from Level-5, but rather the plain-vanilla soccer game from Konami. With RPG elements. Or at least, a shop. Winning Eleven DS Goal x Goal is the sequel to the game that released as Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 in the U.S.

So why would we be interested in a DS soccer game? Well, it's got some bonus minigames! If that helps. Oh, and it's got 2-on-2 Wi-Fi play. Also, despite the fact that reviews for the first Winning Eleven DS game were mixed, people really enjoy those Winning Eleven games, we've heard.
