This latest ad from Nintendo isn't the usual we've come accustomed to seeing from The Big N. For one, it lacks anycelebritypresence whatsoever. Second, it's the most original ad we've seen from Nintendo since the hilarious Punch-Out!! commercial. Finally, we're just really into disappointed father figures. It's kinda our thing.
haha that is pretty good "jump on your Dad!". NSMBW brings that out of you, recently played it with my brother and we almost resorted to wrestling from frustration of us constantly killing each other. FYI we are 27 and 25 lol
The only thing I don't like is that Nintendo isn't co-advertising for 3rd Party games like I see PS360 doing (Insert obligatory/stupid "there are no 3rd party games" joke here). Why couldn't they have commercials were they play Boom Bloxs or something?
Because Nintendo can support its console with 1st party games alone and Microsoft and Sony can't. I'm not trying to bash those companies but that's just the way it is. But I agree that it would be nice to see Nintendo advertising some 3rd party games in their commercials.
Actually, Nintendo has done that many times before.
Here are the commercials that I have found that feature the bowing Wii logo indicative of Nintendo's nod of approval:
Bakugan. CoD: World at War. Sonic amd The Secret Rings The Conduit Klonoa MadWorld Boom Blox Bash Party Cooking Mama World Kitchen MySims Kingdom NHL 2K9 de Blob Dragon Quest Swords NiGHTS Journey of Dreams, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End
