People will take a dump. But they probably won't get up cause they're too invested in the game.

At least, not until they finish the race.

Well done, Nintendo, that's a great ad.

That will drive parents insane.

Likely to take away their kids switch, or dis allow him/her to use it in such a fashion.

Seriously, everytime they do something stupid, they do something like this which shows me they get it. This is a really good add that makes the Switch look really desirable. What they really need though is to make ads like this for multiplatform games.

Yep. And bundles. A FIFA, NBA2K, Skyrim bundles are, imo, necessary. But they're really good later in marketing. I don't know what changed exactly, but it was for the best in every concievable way.

Depends on the age of the kids.

If they're male teenagers, playing with the Switch while in the bathroom isn't the worst thing they could be doing .

Loooool

Who doesn't read a book or surf the web while on the can? Sometimes I read, sometimes I game.

Btw, don't those kids realize they're in class!?

I like that Nintendo is not targeting that demographic. It's targeting 20/30 years old people, who were probably former Ninty gamers. At least that's what I get about their latest adverts.

Love how nonchalant they are about it too.

Slightly off topic: am I the only person who's paranoid about the JoyCon's sliding off and the screen dropping to the floor?

Nintendo is certainly trying to avoid using kids with their Switch ads.

They can't : the joycons are removed by clicking hard buttons on the back that are under the triggers...

i think its extremely wise that they are aiming it at young adults instead of children/families
