Now I have my own Wii lifestyle video!

Nintendo Australia recently staged a series of events that would allow members of the public to possibly be included in an upcoming TV commercial. The events took place in Melbourne and Sydney between April 9-17. I attended the Sydney location, which was at an EB Games.

Before arriving I was expecting it to be fairly busy, however there was no one there at all. Soon after walking in, I was sitting down on the couch ready to play a couple of rounds of Mario Kart Wii.

The prototypical set for a Wii advertisement

After the camera operator set up, my group was off and racing. It was a little strange being filmed, and none of us really made any noise, instead we sat in silence with our Wii Wheels.

The requisite white couch is present and accounted for

When our races finished, we were given a Mario pen and informed that our video would be uploaded to the event web page. I can now say I have my own lifestyle commercial footage!
