Pretty good advert.

I'm sure people know about playing Wii U games off screen if they bother to go the game aisle section and try out the Wii U demo. They might not know about the upcoming games though.



I love it! The acent made it so hilarious



Non-specific action figure approves!

It is a little tacky, but it isn't dull and it gets its point across.

I love how in the middle of all those Zelda cosplayers they have one dude cosplaying as Ice King from Adventure Time.

Weird question, but where would this adverts actually been shown? They seem a bit long to be in an actual ad rotation between TV shows.

The first one was absolutely dreadful. The Rufus Hound on was okay.

Between the Tour de France advertising + Pikmin 3 and now this, seems like Nintendo are stepping it up over here.



...ugh.

8 months in...I really expected better.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Arrow pointed with the words "New Consoles" made for a good laugh.

I like the 2nd commercial as it is bordering on self-parody.



The zelda video will do more damage then it will good.

The rufus one is alright, I chuckled a bit. Still not sure that they conveyed the new console thing strong enough. They made it sound like the Wii U is just an ugraded Wii which allows you to use the gamepad. They should have said something like "the Wii U is 12x more powerful then the wii", and then showed some pretty tech demo or something.

Actually, they should have just called it Wii 2.

Truly these are the end times.

Caught that as well. Definitely did a double take. XD

Also, the GamePad is now known as the flaming bacon cherry of gaming glory. I expect all of you to refer to it as such from now on.
