Nintendo’s Flipnote Monsters

Posted on by

We created an online competition for Nintendo’s animation application, Flipnote Studio, inviting people to create their own monsters and submit them using their Nintendo DSi.

The competition was judged by illustrator Andrew Rae, and winning monsters were featured in a knock-down drag-out battle animation that appeared on the Nintendo Channel, the Nintendo website and YouTube.

We had nearly 8,000 competition entries, and hundreds of gaming sites and animation blogs talked about the competition. All within three weeks when the campaign launched.

Flying in 3D

Nintendo asked us to create a film for the Nintendo Channel to promote the latest Pilotwings game for the Nintendo 3DS. The series have been around since 1990 but this is the first game you can experience in 3D. Who else better to test the game than professional stunt pilots? Nintendo liked the idea so much that we also ended up making five Pan-European TV ads.

Japanese Samurai Documentary

Posted on by

Samurai Warriors 3 is a fighting game based on real Japanese history from the 16th and 17th century. We casted Dr. Christoffer Gerteis, lecturer in the history of Japan, who talked about the samurai, the battles and the weapons from that time which were all featured in the game. A very interesting documentary with a great link between the Japanese history and the video game.

The final film was aired on the Nintendo Channel early 2010 and is still one of the most popular videos out there.
