New Wario Land ad shakes up YouTube
62
Nintendo has unleashed a rather clever YouTube ad for Wario Land: Shake It. It starts out simple enough, with mid-quality gameplay footage (first sign of trouble: the embed code is for Facebook only). And then ... well, we don't want to spoil it for you. Needless to say, it was a fun surprise. If the reviews are any indication, it might end up being the best thing to come out of the tremor-phillic Wii game.

I'm genuinely frustrated by how clever that was.

That was pretty frikkin BRILLIANT.
And actually makes me want this. But alas Wario games have always been a Winter joy for me. Just seem to always buy them in late November, early Dec. YAR I don't know the fuck why.

Fucking awesome. And hint to readers: you can pick up the broken bits with your mouse.

Ahaha, that was awesome. I was a little confused at first, because there was no video; but then I realised that NoScript was blocking it. Anyways, nice advert by Ninty, too bad it's Wario.

Totally awesome, good non-conventional marketing. They also have a promo deal hooked up with Six Flags all over. Seems they want to give this game a push.

I couldn't enjoy it at all, but that's because of my bad connection and that flash is disable here.
