Dr Pepper and Nintendo promotion

9th September 2003, 5:32pm
Whilst this is a US story i know many Nintendo fans are eager to hear about the companies advertising efforts so here it is:

Dr Pepper is teaming up with Nintendo to make the "Be You. Be in the Game." promotion. One lucky winner will have the chance to have their likeness appear in an upcoming Nintendo game. This is starting to become a trend with the upcoming XIII by Ubisoft to feature celebrity cameos in game (comedians merrik and rosso included).

Aswell as the chance to star in a Nintendo game there will also be 3,500 prizes given away including Nintendo GameCubeTM systems, Game BoyTM Advance SP systems, and Dr Pepper 12 pack coupons. Consumers will be able to determine if they are a winner by looking under the caps of specially marked 20-ounce and 2-liter bottles and on game pieces inside 12-packs of Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper and Red Fusion.

Once again its said only to be in the US at the moment but it shows that nintendo are trying to boost there advertising campaign to get back into the game, the question is will it work.
