A television advertising campaign has accompanied the UK launch of Sonic Advance 3. The lack of a television campaign to support the US release makes the appearance of a UK one slightly surprising. Its exclusivity may explain its poor quality – the commercial doesn't rely on any attention attracting devices but simply uses an almost bored sounding narrator who lists the features over a selection of video clips from the game.


^While it may lack effort, the new commercial is bound to propel the game in the sales charts.

Update: You can view the commercial here
After seeing it for a second time, I would like to retract my comments about the narrator sounding bored – he sounds more as if he is forcing himself to be excited. Either way, it still lacks effort and now you can judge for yourself.

Do we not get a link?

I don't think there is an online version.

A million miles away from the Sonic Heroes ad that's for sure...

For some reason, the only commercials we get for GBA games are Nintendo's games. No other company other does this--even we they release original games for the handheld.

I seem to recall Boktai getting a T.V. ad, though I just may be on crack.

Most companies seem to put out GBA games as an afterthought, and judging by the quality of 96% if the GBA games out there, the amount of effort put into the game is about the same as the company put into advertising.

I think I remember a Boktai ad too now that you mention it. Or hearing something about the sun and the GBA in the same commercial anyway.
