Title: Mario Kart Wii NA Commercials Blow Out!
Post by: Super-Jesse on April 22, 2008, 03:07:39 PM

You know those annoying car commercials that would interrupt the awesome "Wii Would Like to Play" commercials? Well, someone at Nintendo had the bright idea to combine the two, removing anything cool from the latter. What we have left is the commercials for Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii) in North America. After watching them, which style of advertising do you prefer?

There was nothing cool about those Wii Would Like To Play commercials.

This ad is hilarious for so many different reasons. LOOK AT THA FOOTAGE! LOOK AT THA FOOTAGE!

These ads are pimp.

Also: "blow'd up".

Horrible but funny (because it's horrible).

These are definitely far better than all the other "Wii would like to play" ads in that these actually show the advertised game instead of people playing said game.

Thank goodness for some variety. Nintendo is to the Wii Would Like to Play commercials as God is to natural disasters: Testing our faith. Whether you like those ads are not, they're still just too... uniform. Each game needs to stand on its own merits with its own individual ads (actually, I think Nintendo had the best videogame ads on TV during the GBA/GCN era).

Strongly agree. I was sick and tired of those unattractive commercials. I mean, come on! The same gimmick, the same music. HOW LAME! Escpecially with great games like Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB, This commercial was definitely a change from all this monotony. Still, have you seen the European commercials?

Is it just me, or does it seem that there is a bigger advertising campaign then any of the Wii's other hardcore titles combined?

Still, a funny set of commercials. Definately more creative then that "Wii would like to play" stuff.

I honestly don't like these commercials. At all. They really could have done something less... obnoxious.

That Cowboy dude could make for some great YouTube Poop material.

Anything that doesn't involve sterotypical Japanese guys and racially-diverse twenty-somethings making MP3, SMB, and SSBB look dorky is a godsend for me.
