The Metriod Prime comercial sucked? I thought it was pretty good.  It was not the best effects, but for a comercial, it was the closest I'd seen to a friggn Metriod movie.  It looked pretty cool.  It may have been short on the screen shots, but I liked it.  And I kinda like the new Zelda commercial too.  But my favorite of the Zelda comercials was the old Majora's Mask commercial.  The moon crashing on all thosh cities, and everyone panicing.  I like commercials with a theatrical sense to them and more style to them.  But I must be the minority.

FLUCKARN HELL! That commercial made the game look like ASS! WTF is wrong with Nintendo. If they had shown the E3 trailer with updated gameplay footage and that kickass music it would have been one of the most popular games of all time, that E3 trailer was AWESOME! And now they give us this CRAP! Im only complaing about the CRAPPY, ASS LIKE, gameplay shots they showed. The music and the girl in the robe was done very well. But i mean, they must have picked the WORST shots of the game and put them in the ad to be "teh innovative" or some sh!t like that. If i saw that commercial, not knowing what i know, i would definately think it was a crap game, not neccessarily kiddy, but CRAP. All my friends are saying Nintendo have ruined Zelda!!!?!?!?!?! WTF, its all because of CRAPPY, LAME, STUPID, LAZY, LAME, CRAPPY advertising by Nintendo (America). The Japanese ads are a hundred times better than that poor excuse for a commercial. And i agree with the guy above me about the Majoras Mask commercial, that totally owned.

The commercial does suck.
It sucked when I saw it in the theater and it sucks now.
The visual style totally clashes with the gameplay footage.  The live action parts are dark and dirty and depressing, but then they have gameplay footage that is bright and colorful.  I am not saying colorful is bad, but the two styles just clash with eachother.  The only good part of the comercial is the last few seconds when they talk about the Bonus Disk.

Here is the big problem I see with NOA's adverts.  They are getting more and more money for advertising.  I know that sounds wierd.  More money is good in most cases.  But, what NOA is doing with they money they get is the problem.  The gameplay footage of Zelda will sell itself.  They didn't need all the stupid live action part.  They should have made a clip of cool game footage, slapped some text and voice over talking about some of the cool stuff (like GBA connection).  Mention the Bonus Disk.  A rather cheap comercial to make.  Then you use all that advertising money to ADVERTISE!  Buy some air time on some high rated shows.  Maybe the superbowl.  After the game is out add some of the great reviews it has gotten on to the commercial (because you know it is going to get great reviews).

edit: I have seen the spot on G4 (the sorta-lame videogame channel, also the only place I have seen Skys of Arcadia commercials), Cartoon Network, and during Stargate SG-1 on the sci-fi channel.  
Nintendo:
To the geniuses who said Nintendo should air their commercials during TV series like Friends:

"In America over 33 million people look at the series Friends. The costs of a 30 second commercial in or around that show costs 455.700 dollar!"

PS: Commercial's a commercial, so complaint if you want, but people will still see and think about the commercial and that's what matters.
