GameSpot, a property of CNET Networks, Inc., has announced the winners in the first annual Game TV Commercial Awards and Sweepstakes. The awards, which promoted games available during the holiday season, recognize the best, most creative gaming commercials on television. More than 50,000 GameSpot users -- predominantly 18-34-year-old males -- participated in the contest, viewing and voting on the 121 nominated spots during the month-long December promotion.

Nintendo won first place for its commercial "School's Out," a high-concept campaign created by Leo Burnett, USA that focused on promoting the Nintendo brand. In the commercial, which is set in Japan, school kids await the final bell and then run out of the classroom, propelled by the ability to jump trains, avoid cars, and fly over buildings. In the end, they arrive at a Nintendo store in anticipation of a new game release, where they appear in front of the store manager as various Nintendo characters. "Who are you?" the commercial asks the viewer.

lol dont get me wrong I absloutely love Nintendo ever since I got the first console when I was about 5 in 1991 and loved every game from Nintendo ever since. Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong...who would ever be better than them??

Certainly I just want Nintendo to be on top of the two other companies but Mircosoft seems to be tougher than I thought and when I played "Halo" it has changed my life forever. Never experienced such a realistic and awesome first person shooter like Halo and I spent hours and hours playing that fantastic game. Mircosoft launched more than 20 games at first launch with the Xbox, including DOA and Oddworld, etc...and they were great also. I've grew to love my Xbox even more but I still love Nintendo anyway. I never forget the memories that I've enjoyed when I played alot of games on the Nintendo 64...aw what great experience it was. So right now Nintendo seems to be kind of low on alot of stuff...Nintendo doesnt release alot of games for the GC and the GC lacks full support from other companies because it's proably the least powerful system in the world but just about 30% more powerful than PS2 but Xbox is beyond the most powerful system on the planet. I've already owned more games for Xbox than GC (12 games for Xbox and 6 games for GC...how sad can that be? :( ) so I just hope Nintendo will be doing MUCH better when they release their next console someday...with a DVD player and hardrive ;) ...it's not the evloution of videogames...it's the evloution of entertainment. :p

I know that feeling. I used to be crazy for Sega games. After Playstation came out, I shifted my attention to Playstation. After Nintendo 64 came out, I shifted my attention to them. After Dreamcast came out, I went for that... then back to Nintendo 64 again. Next, Playstation 2... later, Gamecube... now, Gamecube/Xbox. :thumb:
