I think they could have aimed a little higher for the target audience, at least Nintendo of Europe have been able to pull off advertising for older gamers including for the Animal Crossing franchise. This is a problem with the US, they are still intent on targeting games for children. It's gotten a little better over the years, but when they show 13 year olds playing Animal Crossing and pokemon and no one else over that age, it has kind of made me feel bad in the past.

Still better than the City Folk commercials.
Kind of reminds me of a New Super Mario Bros 2 commercial I saw where there was this boy who was playing New Super Mario Bros 2 on the 3DS and suddenly there were coins everywhere and the kids were collecting them all.
I rate the New Leaf commercial 6/10.

Not a fan of it, certainly not a good way to advertise the game.

That has just reminded me of the pokemon BW adverts we got with one direction playing them. (in UK) They do seem to be more age concious in their aims here.
Though I think people should probably remember this is just one advert. There will be others, and they will show different parts of the game and hopefully from different perspectives. And may the adults be less dull than CF's. xP
I'm pretty sure all the adverts I saw for Let's go to the city were of adult women playing the game actually. Why don't they do something again like this seeing as this age bracket has been proven to pull in a high percentage of sales in Japan?

Those actually really bugged me...and when I wanted AC:CF, my sister would always say, "You know it's a girl's game right? Just look at the commercials."

Apparently there were loads.
; I only saw a couple. Original and Second (With third and a few behind the scenes in side bit) A Pokemon rumble oneI'm guessing you meant the 1D adverts and not the CF ones. Just searching Pokemon one direction adverts finds a ton.
To people who don't like the commercial, how would you have done the commercial? I honestly can't think of advertising Animal Crossing for what it really was without it looking extremely stupid.
Have you ever tried explaining Animal Crossing to someone? It's not possible!

It's just not possible in a 30 - 60 second time frame.
Exactly. I'd like to see these people make a better advert! This one was really good
