I don't think the view on women changed in any way since the mid 90s.

Very much so, not because the ladies, because they're all just STANDING AND WATCHING

The showiness-to-appropriate location factor was pretty hilarious in this video.

"Awkward and demeaning to all involved, welcome to the year 2011 Nintendo lol. "

You need to be welcomed to 2011. Basically you are saying women are slaves to men in this day and age and have no choice about what they do with their lives. I give these thumbs up for knowing that guys like looking at pretty women, cashing in on that, and using guys while they can. You are more sexist than the people you are throwing accusations toward. Shame on you for perpetuating the stereo type that men are the cause for all of women's problems, and that women have no power to do with their lives what they wish. Just shame.

Ten? Years old? Sure, times three.  For the record, I wasn't talking about the view of women.  I doubt that will ever change.  I was talking about what the games industry views as a good way to market their games.  You know, like back in the mid-90s, when everything had to be marketed by a girl in a bikini.  Or do you remember that?

Yelling 3D and zooming the camera in and out doesn't actually make it 3D but nice try

Bunch of women accompanying the drop off of DS systems to game journo's.  Fucking cheesy, false and cringeworthy.

Had to rewatch this due to the talk on the E3 podcast... man... that could easily be one of the most awkward situations on camera.

Did not even know this existed until this week's podcast. Mind-blowingly weird. Were their 3DSs cabled in to battery packs they were wearing on their belts?

Didn't seem like they actually stayed for a drink at the bar. Opportunity missed.
