I loved the ''Finally, a BRAND NEW CONSOLES with a BRAND NEW CONTROLLER''. If after this I hear of more morons claiming the think this add on I swear I will hit them...

Also, lol at the women saying ''I wanna watch the TV now'', such great acting.

Overall I thought the add was pretty meh...

You know, I thought that part was goofy and cringe-worthy, and made it sound like an ad for a cleaning product, but I didn't know that people thought it was an add-on.  In that respect, I imagine it would be important to communicate that fact clearly.

Over-all the ad was OK but nothing special.  I think they were trying to hook the casual Wii user with the touch-screen stuff, with a little of ME3 thrown in for the core crowd.  There just wasn't enough time to show off some of the fuctionality well.  The ZombieU bit, for example, was highlighted MUCH better in the longer web-promo, but in this ad was just kind of a confused blur.

Still, a first ad is supposed to be an over-view, so I suppose they were just trying to get people to understand the concept.  They need to run some dedicated ZombieU commercials, though, I think that would impress people a lot more.

Oh, and finally, brace for in-coming customer confusion.  I bet anything a LOT of people are going to think this is like a real handheld you can take anywhere.  I imagine some of the British tabloids are going to accuse Nintendo of consumer deception.
