why would they be making a commercial for the game years after it was released?

If you marketing it, they will buy.

If you keep marketing it, they will keep buying it.

My guess is that NoAus realized that Mario Kart hasn't sold 1:1 for every Wii in AUS like it has everywhere else in the world and they won't receive their bonus if they don't rectify that issue.
