Some print advertising was criticized in later years by Ste for not showing enough of the game itself. Tradewest's US print advertisement depicted the top half taken up by "Double Dragon" and "Battletoads", the bottom-half a picture of the Plok character; the only info revealed was that "Plok!" was published by the two other franchises. Nintendo's UK print ad depicted a faux desktop screenshot with an image of an angry old lady in the house as the wallpaper; the only "Plok!" visual depicted was its box art, placed in the bottom right and very small-sized.
