3DS commercials are uniformly pretty terrible too. I don't see them very often either. Nintendo did ramp up Wii U marketing last December at least. 

Anyways Pennzoil is kind of a weird choice. Why not a product maybe more relevant to the target demographic of the game like say Pepsi or Coca-Cola and McDonalds.

3DS at least enlisted celebrities.

an audience called everyone?

No the audience is kids. Yes the game appelas to all ages but its main audience is kids and there marketing should be focused on that.

Certainly a start. Now's abouts the time to start, too, if they want to get a good lead on things.

It'll give us more details about the game. That's definitely something!

No that's stupid! If you have a product that appeals to anyone, you should market it towards everyone! If you're selling something like, idk, Barbie dolls, then yes it makes sense to only advertise to little girls as that's the demographic Barbie dolls appeal to. In the case of Mario Kart, which appeals to everyone though, it makes no sense to limit potential customers by not advertising to them. I mean this is just common sense. Nintendo's current marketing team really needs to get fired if they can't understand these simple concepts.

I don't know how they could make a Mario Kart t.v. series but if they did that would be awesome!!  They could make it an app on the Wii U so that people could watch it.  Lol, it's a crazy thought of course. You never watched Wacky races?

Hmm...I haven't seen that before.  I wonder if there's any videos of it on Youtube?

Interesting choice.....

I'm sure there's plenty of videos of it on youtube. It's actually a decent cartoon! It's a bit repetitive though, but I loved it when I was a kid.
