This is 100% nonsense. Do you mean the game isn't signed to run on a retail console yet?If so, sure. Do you mean that Nintendo is using a 100% legimate retail console in this video? Because that is almost assuredly not the case. In fact I would not be surprised at all if all of the video shown in the ad is a playback of a pre-recorded video.

Nintendo could feasibily have made development/test kits by now that look almost identical to retail kits, and it would be very easy for Nintendo to make one look identical to one for the purposes of this ad. If this is a test kit in this ad, then it absolutely could run an unsigned version of this game.

god, the thing is not running anything, was a commercial with a simulated screen that's all.

Yes, but it's a bit silly to say "they are not going to put a game in development inside a cartridge just for 10 seconds of advertisement."

Because they don't need to do that. Deploying a game directly to a test kit takes like 10-12 minutes. I highly doubt the test kits require cartridges in order to play the game when they can just do what Sony did on the vita dev kits, and just let you deploy the game to the dev/test kit's internal storage. They could easily be showing actual gameplay in this commerical if the game were ready.
