I personally, like the uniform commercial format for the Wii games. The intro music is instantly recognizable, and the two Japanese guys are likeable characters.
i agree it can work but it still wouldn't be like the good old days where we'd get an actor in a samus costume running down a corridor (or was that cgi? i don't remember) or a hot model to play Joanna Dark in the shower.. Or the best commercial ever:
Mario Bros. 3. If you don't remember it you're either too young or lived under a rock.
i just feel that the more you show stupid expressions, less you show of the game, obviously, but also less game to sell or build hype for. But this is only for certain games. We all know Metroid isn't a casual affair, so the add shouldn't be about “whoa look at how you shoot in that game, it looks fun!” but instead “whoa! did you see that giant pteranodon-looking thing you have to shoot while falling down a shaft! dude i gotta try this game!!”
Don't get me wrong i like their adds now i just miss the old ones, they allowed for more creativity. The new adds do work though, i mentioned wii to my sister once in conversation and my stepfather overheard, and chimed in with “wii? oh! ‘wii would like to play‘ thats the one with the chinese guys right?”
he even did the bow and everything. He's not the type to sit around and watch tv so the fact that those adds stuck with him surprised me.
