So out of boredom today I was watching American Idol: Season 7 Finale with my mother and one of the commercials that came on caught my attention: Carrie Underwood playing NintenDogs on Nintendo DS. What?! So of course I hurried up stairs and did my research. It seems that Nintendo is using a new tactic to get young girls and women playing games by getting this amazing woman to do commercials for them.
But Carrie Underwood isn't the only one. The other amazing women they have promoting are America Ferrera and Liv Tyler. Each of them has their own DS and in the commercials are playing their favorite games from the little handheld system.
The New Faces Of Nintendo DS
This is an interesting tactic by Nintendo and it will help to show that women in gaming aren't as "rare" as some would like to think. Especially since most people would never think that such amazing women like these three could ever be gamers --but since these 3 women are some of my favorite celebrities I am honored to have them as the face for Nintendo and future gamers.
Here are some behind the scene videos:
Unfortunately I couldn't find the video for Liv Tyler on Youtube but check out the videos and more behind the scenes information at: I Play For Me .
