Nicole Kidman is Advertising the Nintendo DS

From Diana Mimon, About.com GuideJune 26, 2007

Follow me on:

Why in the world did the folks over at Nintendo choose Nicole Kidman as the new face for their ad campaign? I'm still scratching my head on this one, since the connection seems a little bit fuzzy. Shouldn't the former Moulin Rouge star be peddling something that's more up her alley?

Perfume, cosmetics, even lingerie come to mind when you think of Naomi Watts' BFF. Nintendo game systems? Not so much. The company claims to be making an effort to reach a broader audience with the new commercials. Good luck with that one.

Nicole Kidman is an odd choice to represent Nintendo.No offense,but Nintendo must be desperate for sales.

It’s part of a campaign for adults. She follows up the Carrie Underwood commercial that is running now, and THEN…. OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN! Whoo Hoo!!!
