I’ve been away from Miro for several days; this week’s been pretty busy. So when I went online with Miro, lo and behold a nice truckload of new videos were awaiting my perusal. And among them, were some very creative and interesting game trailers, courtesy of GameTrailers.com.
This particular commercial is actually quite funny and very creative. Almost to the point of making me buy a copy of the game, except I’m not a big fan of the Harvest Moon series. Although, I wouldn’t mind if anyone sent me a copy for review. Still funny though. It’s in Japanese but I added a translation below.
Harvest Moon: Animal March Puppet show Part 2 (Click here for Part 1)
Ushi-kun: Kaero-kun, bokujou mongatari waku waku animaru ma-chi de ge-mu sa, ge-mu no naka de shashin wo tottari dekiru rashii yo.
Kaero-kun: Sou nandayo. Soko de boku mo, kossori Ushi-kun no shashin wo tottanda!
Ushi-kun: Ee, sou nano? Zenzen kizukanakatta!
Kaero-kun: Sorega, kochira!
Ushi-kun: Kore boku janai to omou yo…
Kaero-kun: Iya iya, shoushin shoumei Ushi-kun dayo! Shashinka no ude ga ii to koumo ririshiku toreru mondane!
Ushi-kun: Boku janai to omou kedo…
Kaero-kun: Mada aru yo. Kore!
Ushi-kun: Nani kore? Itsu totta no?
Kaero-kun: Kimi wa nezou ga warui na~
Ushi-kun: Are neten no kana… Nanka kowai na~
Kaero-kun: Ato sekushii shotto mo tocchatta
Ushi-kun: Ee, mou chotto nani mou yamete yo, sonna no. Nani shiten no ne?
Kaero-kun: Ofuro agari no…ushi
Ushi-kun: Riaru da ne~
which quite roughly translates to:
Cow-kun: Frog-kun, in the Farm Story Exciting Animal March (Harvest Moon: Animal March) game, it seems like you can do things like take pictures
Frog-kun: Yup. I secretly took pictures of you.
Cow-kun: Really? I didn’t notice at all.
Frog-kun: This one!
Cow-kun: I…don’t think this is me…
Frog-kun: No no, this is genuinely you. With good photographer’s hands, don’t I take take awe-inspiring pictures!
Cow-kun: But I don’t think this is me…
Frog-kun: I still have more. Here!
Cow-kun: What’s this? When did you take this?
Frog-kun: Your sleeping position is really awful isn’t it.
Cow-kun: Ah, was I sleeping? It’s quite scary.
Frog-kun: I also took a sexy shot
Cow-kun: Ee?! Wait a sec, stop doing things like that. What do you think you’re doing?
Frog-kun: Cow…out of the bathtub
Cow-kun: …So it is…
Now for weeks now, I’ve been bombarded with short trailers for Wii Music, featuring a girl playing one instrument per commercial. And I used to think, “this game looks pretty boring”. But after seeing the following trailer, makes me think twice about it. For sure, it’ll be nice multi-player fun for the whole family. At the very least, this trailer is worth watching.
Wii Music Truck Gameplay
Here’s another nice Wii Music Clip. While here’s the rest of ‘em (a lot! Including all the boring instrument commercials)
On the other side of the creative fence, here’s an aptly named “Lost Appetite Trailer“. I mean, what kind of creative genius would think that a Wiimote wielding kid and a scary-looking, guiness-record-for-longest-nails-holding woman would get them to sell more copies of The Guiness World Records game.
And Cabela’s hunting game, a game about hunting for trophies to stuff and hang on the wall, seems to have involved a lot of digital animals hurt during the making of this game. Nothing like good ‘ol educational values like hunting endangered animals for sport.
