Nintendo just put their two commercial spots for Mario Kart up on Youtube.

Feedback from Youtube comments:

"my god that was disturbing"

"This seems like a commercial you'd see back in the 90s"

"Cowboy Jed owns your soul."

Those ads are f'ing fantastic. I love em. It's like a throwback to the ads of old. unabashedly, shamelessly uncool.

Best Wii ad I've ever seen.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

HILARIOUS! I laughed... it's so American! I see these promo's on every American channel. It fits the intended audience.

Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

You forgot to take the magic joints before you watched the commercial.

It reminds me of one of the commercials for the nes.

Reminds me of Cowboy Bebop. All they need is the bimbo blond and they'd be set.

I'll be frank, showing a screenshot of the game for 30 seconds with the words Mario Kart Wii in stores April 27 would be more better and more effective than this. This commercial just turned me off. Yuck.
