The first one wasn't terrible. If I weren't a huge Nintendo fan, those last two would have killed any chance of me ever becoming one lol. Really bad!

The "Lets Play 3DS" ads aren't just for Mario Kart.

There are Kirby and Yoshi's Island ones too:

LOL, we've come a long way from the Conker's Bad Fur Day ads of the early 2000s where the punch line of the commercial was a squirrel looking like he was getting a hand job from his stripper girlfriend

I didn't hate the first one, but the other two were pretty terrible.

The Wii U and 3DS ones weren't bad, considering the audience they're targeting. Nintendo's ads are not made for forumgoers like us.

The Amiibo one was kinda cheesy I guess.

No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Nintendo hasn't had great commercials imo since the NES and SNES generation. Sure, they're cheesy as hell now but back then they were awesome.

You're probably being a bit generous there. They were outmarketed badly by Sega during the 16-bit wars.

Honestly Nintendo could've taken a dump on commercials like this pretty easily as the Super NES was more powerful than the Genesis.

Yeah, maybe you're right. But the NES generation was tits.

That smash commercial is terrible.

I mean a wii remote and gamepad pro beating the gamecube controller players? poor research went into that commercial.

They should just go back and steal their own commercials from the past. These are painfully horrible.
