Nickelodeon is having a 6 hour Rugrats special this Saturday, in celebration of the program being voted favorite cartoon at the Nick Awards. I'd really like to see THQI slip in a commercial for the PS and N64 games sometime during this event. Is this something that the company would do, is it financially affordable, any thoughts on whether it would be effective or a waste of money? My opinion is that it would be money well spent. Regards, JB

From your link: <<Adney hinted strongly that the first MTV Extreme Sports titles the company will be releasing will be Snowboarding and Skating. As part of the deal THQ will have "access to MTV celebrities, music and we will be working very closely with them on development and promotion," Adney told us. Gamers can expect to see promotions for the THQ titles, which it is hoping will be as popular as its wrestling franchise, both on college campuses and on MTV broadcast networks – both television and radio. The deal with MTV will last for four years and the games will span "multiple platforms and SKUs," according to Adney.>> As popular as the wrestling franchise? Man, that would be something. I'm not going to predict that.
