OK, so Nintendo first gets complaints all around the world that Nintendo games are too kiddy, now this? I agree with Alisha, we're all too sensitive. >_>

In all fairness, if you were not embroiled with the gaming world day in, day out - I can see why that ad would make you jump out of your seat a bit. It's frenetic, brightly-coloured, loud violence. Regardless of whether it's animated.

I personally think it's OK since I play games, but is holding a sword to someone's neck and slicing things to death really appropriate for broadcasting on an unsuspecting audience? Hmm...

This couldn't be better for Nintendo's image

Think about it, rational people who know of Nintendo's long history of being family-friendly won't be negatively impacted by this

But suddenly, Nintendo has the air of being somewhat of a badass, which helps it infringe upon the 360 (and in Britain, the PS3) on that attitude

Remember that Britain is the country which banned Life of Brian from many of it's regions without even viewing the film to see if it was appropriate. So yeah...
