Wave Race 64 gets an advertising facelift

Some screenshots of the newly released VC game Wave Race 64 reveal that Nintendo has updated the in-game ad’s. The reason for this is that the old ad’s were for Kawasaki and the license for that deal has since expired. So I guess instead of reworking a new deal, or finding a new partner, they just decided to advertise themselves. More specifically, the system with which you’re playing the game. I personally don’t see the return on advertising a product directly to an audience that has already bought it, so maybe its just an easy way to avoid a bunch of legal hassles.

    Some of the tracks on mario kart 64 said N64, that wasn’t really a big deal.
