In the newest Nintendo DS commercial, Steve-O nearly gets mauled by a lion while Chris Pontius frags away on Metroid Prime: Hunters while riding atop an elephant. Oh, Chris also says "ass". Welcome to the Nintendo DS hype train.
The commercial was directed by Jeff Tremaine and stars both Wildboyz as they compete wirelessly in the African wild. The highlight is when a female lion hanging out underneath Steve-O's tree decides to climb up and say hello. The event was completely unscripted, but since Steve-O didn't get hurt, the scene was left in. The ad begins airing on MTV today.
Hit the link above to download both the commercial and a "making of" video from Nintendo's official website.

my personal preference for a commercial would be in an office space type setting, that stylus is perfect for misleading idiot bosses into thinking you are doing work/taking notes during a meeting when you would really be laying a coworker- those could be some funny commercials

It's a neat idea though it's so subtle I don't know how it could be that effective.

IanSane, that's psychological reinforcement. I'm surprised they're doing that. It's almost like brainwashing because viewers won't even realize, immediately, what they're being made to think about, but still it's there and it's the logo. It's a creative way to claim mindshare.

You mean when you click the link, a transfer box pops up and it downloads onto your computer, onto your hard-drive? Or opens in another window and downloads in it? Cuz I'm gettin' pissed, and it'd be really convenient if I didn't have to look everywhere else for videos all the time.

But I got it somewhere else, so it's alright.
