I say three ads for the N64 last night [Saturday] at 11pm, 11.30pm and around 
midnight, there were two for the system [the usual 'it's the most powerful 
thing in the world' ad] and one for Golden Eye, just after an ad for the new 
Bond film [forgot the name].
This is in the UK, I don't know many young kids that are up that late, so 
just who are Nintendo trying to target ?
