Dragon Quest IX commercial for North America starring Seth Green. Having the co-creator of Robot Chicken and the voice of Family Guy’s Chris Griffin shill for your RPG might seem like an odd choice, but Nintendo is all about hiring celebrities like Beyonce, Patrick Stewart, and Nicole Kidman to push its big titles.
And in Japan, where Square Enix handles the publishing and marketing for Dragon Quest itself, the members of all-male idol group SMAP serve as the spokesmodels for the franchise. So Seth Green doesn’t seem like that odd of a representative in that context. Also, the commercial isn’t that bad! I’m just happy to see Nintendo flexing its marketing muscle for Dragon Quest IX.
Preorder: Dragon Quest IX (July 11th)
