It's about playing the game, not about the advertising.

Can someone provide a link? I tried searching on youtube and there's a ton of commercials, I'd rather not have to watch them all to see which ones you guys are talking about.

Just watched the US advert and it was indeed something horrible to behold, made me thankful for the half-decent looking ad we got in the UK. Obviously for whatever reason they thought that what they are now showing in the US would be a somehow better way to publicise the game in that particular market territory. (I mean we all know, sadly there are some people out there who would like this commercial better than the UK one).

I'd rather have two creepy Japanese guys promoting the Wii than some stereotypical cowboy redneck. Awful ad.

You guys must be young. Nintendo has been making over-the-top, crazy commercials for years now (Look up Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros., Paper Mario, Yoshi's Island, etc. for proof).

It catches the viewers attention, and love it or hate it, it works.

I mean, we're all talking about it. That's something, isn't it?

I dont care about the commercial, I care about the game.

And everything that I have ever wanted in a Mario Kart game, they added in this one.

But atleast the commercial shows GAMEPLAY unlike other game commercials.

Look here:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Og27PEgRl5Q

About 3 secs in all of gameplay, and that was the first game i searched...im sure i could find one with 0 secs.

I never even liked the "Wii Would Like to Play" commercials. Sorry people.

I always enjoyed seeing the Nintendo commercials with more originality from the 90s, up until the mid-2000s, before they changed their focus to Wii adds.

I honestly thought the Mario Kart Wii commercial was a pleasent revisit to those old days, and I hope Nintendo adds are more like this in the future [Bye "Wii would like to play"].

Yes the commercial is supposed to look cheesy, and yes it can get annoying if you watch it over and over again like some of you complain about. So stop watching it on Youtube.

Either you guys just joined in on playing Nintendo games recently, or you have just been brainwashed with the Wii add crap that we've been getting over the last few years that you cannot simply remember how their adds used to be.

The reason Nintendo made that commerical is because of what we're doing! We're talking about it, and almost hyping it. No one talks about a boring, OK, run-of-the-mill commerical, but people talk about bad, annoying commericals. So what Nintendo is doing, is working.

ALL WII COMMERCIALS SUCK. I'm sorry, but its the sad truth. (Big Wii Player Here) I don't remember watching one commercial that really got to me. Saying "Whoa.. thats a freakin' sweet Ninty commercial!". I did like the SSBB commercial, but even then.. they were just in a future shop. We need to see less people having fun, and more gameplay.

Have you seen those abominations? Why couldn't they have stuck with the "Wii would like to Play?" I found those quite cool and proffesional, as oposed to "Cowboy Jed" and his horrible acting. I could have made a better trailer! These ads fetured vertualy no good information about the game, and the dude talked way to fast in an obviously fake accent! I have to say i feel my intelligence has been insulted by these commercials. What on earth was Nintendo thinking?

Head_of_games

OMG you must be mad that "Jeds" son wasnt really a kid actor too!! lol.. Its obvious that it was suppose to be more humorous then serious, and that the actor was suppose to be bad.. And i could understand him talking perfectly, not to fast for me.. LMAO at getting mad at his "fake accent" too... It's a comercial for the masses, not jus serious gamers.
