We don't know if this video was even officially released; as of this writing, the versions on both GameVideos and GameTrailers were user submitted. We checked with contacts at both sites but, to the best of our knowledge, Activision didn't send this out in any official capacity (after watching, it's pretty easy to guess why).

This commercial came 20 years too late.

Exactly. In the 80s, Kool-Aid Man™ ran around pantsless, busting down walls and spreading red Kool-Aid to the masses in some kind of anti-establishment rebellion. Piss on that, I say! ¬_¬"
Thankfully, the 90s had awesome commercials like the one for the CROSSFIRE("CROSSFIYAAAAAH!")board game. @_@

I was somewhat....okay......with the video for the first couple of minutes. But then the "wiggle" part did me in o_0

ahahah I almost never comment here, but that video was just on another level of ridiculousness. lol I really hope that isn't a legit advertisement. Reminds me of a mid-90's ad for just about anything.

Be prepared, for what you will see will likely burn your eyes out and melt your face.

That was horrible. I didn't think anything of the video until that creepy singing guy popped up from behind the kid playing. What were they thinking when they made this video?

The moment the guy popped out was perhaps the scariest moment of my life...

I'll only buy this game if I can rock out to this advert. Seriously, this was awesome. Its even more quotable than Portal.

Well I'm sorry Stanley Kubrick doesn't make video game ads but I found that amusing, screw you guys.

Fair warning: Your DS will flee the premises if you try to bring this game into your house. It's a scientifically recorded phenomenon.

Yeah, this video is the most awesome thing I've seen all day, and I just watched that half naked girl doing the hula-hoop on Wii fit.
This should definitely be their official ad, and that singing dude should be an in-game character that I could do battle against.
But I don't like the thing being strapped to my hand. What if someone tosses me something? Could be a disaster...unlike the video, which is a complete triumph.

You should only be able to battle against him if he actually complains and taunts you during the fight like in the video. If I send him a fire attack I fully expect my DS' speakers to yell back at me "HEY THAT WASN'T REALLY FAIR". If not, it just won't be the same.

You guys wouldn't know funny if it rocked your face off on expert mode. That video was awesome. You obviously took it a bit too seriously.

I'm pretty sure they going for something like those "Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius" with the guy singing in the back.

I guess this is what they do when they can't think of anymore "Real Men of Genius" for their commercials.
