Considering how many billions of dollars Nintendo has, you'd think it could come up with something a little more extravagant for such an important announcement. At least the commercial gets the message across though.
If Nintendo could combine the big-budgetness of those artsy/freaky launch commercials with the informativeness of this dirt-cheap commercial, it would have a winner.

Um, no. I'm part of the "older market" (age 31), and I thought the commercial looked like it belonged on Saturday morning cartoons. It's chilidsh, not mature.
Mature would be violence or sex. That would grab the older market's attention.
.
BEST NINTENDO COMMERCIAL EVER: Super Mario Brothers 2 (or 3? I forget)
It shows a HUGE crowd of kids chanting, "Mario! Mario! Mario!" and then pulls back to show that the crowd = the United States in size. The SMB2 artwork pops up and the announcer says, "Mario is coming! Get it now!" (or something similar). It was simple, but it worked. It made you feel as excited as the cheering crowd.

Quotei beg to differ, i would put it to you that that would be (largly) immature, i thought the ad was good in a stupid way, something your average 'stoner' would be doing if he was working there, singing like a retard doing stupid things, stoners are funny creatures!
Mature would be violence or sex. That would grab the older market's attention.
but yeah, that mario add with the chanting croud is awsome, its mario 3 btw

dam how can you be 31 and actually considering that mature? I aint tryin to bust on your or anything but that is a very narrow minded way to look at maturity and what relates to "mature" I'm only 21 and my opinion of bein mature is not having to designate anything to a certain type. When your mature, you see everything with an equal eye. So a commercial can be childish and still be mature at the same time. Sex and violence doesnt usually mean its mature, more often than not its the other way around. I do agree with you in the second sentence though, the sex and voilence would grab the older market's attention moreso becuase thats what the general consumers are accustomed too viewing so naturally it'll catch their eye. First sentence is the only part I beg to differ.
