Why does Nintendo not license music for their commercials?

To answer your question. Nintendo doesn't need to use licensed music on their ads, because the original themes composed for their games have much more appeal than any pop/rock song.

but a "these colours dont run" cover would have been too great to promote splatoon to older people...

Do you mean the Iron Maiden song? That would be bizarre.
