It's hard to believe Nintendo would have done this but looking at the ad campaign for Gameboy Pocket, I can believe it.

    There was a period when they had an ad campaign that specifically targeted adults. I remember seeing ads in Popular Science magazine.



    I didn’t see that one though

    Too bad it doesn't blow up, can't quite read that bottom line there as I bet it has some more fun snark to it.  This must have been an earlier try at adult ads because they did it with GBA too if I remember right.

    Where did you get that picture?



    And what's on top of the dresser? Is that a Super Scope?

    I remember the "Stick It - In Your Pocket" add campaign, kind of had the same feel of the "Make 7 Up Yours" campaign from a few years later.

    I'd love to get that as an actual poster and hang it up.

    Text say:



    "SLIM, STYLISH, AND SMALLER AND PLAYS ALL EXISTING GAME BOY SOFTWARE. PRICE £49.99"



    Apparently it's British, rather than American/Canadian which is explains why there were willing to be a bit more risque.

    A girl tied up on the bed is nothing, check out the old Davis Cup Tennis ad. It was based off a famous photo, so was a bit artsy in that area.

    I remember the DS campaign where they got girls with tight tops that said "Touching is good".

    Naughty Nintendo!
