This has to be the BEST ad campaign ever! You just need to see it!

Oh wow! That is a really good ad campaign. I hope they do more creative things like this in the future.

I was under the impression that games are released the day after the actual release-date. Normally, I would just order it online, but since I heard that they were selling Domo-Kun merchandise at Target, I figured I'd pick it up there along with Super Star Delux. Neither game was there, and no Domo-Kun plushies. I went home empty handed.

EDIT: Kirby got one too. (http://www.dailymotion.com/us/featured/channel/videogames/video/x6ssti_kirby-nintendo-take-to-the-skies_videogames)

Nintendo's games are often shipped on release date and a lot of places don't actually get them on the shelf for another day or two. But they are released on release day whether they have them in stock or not.

I asked, they didn't have 'em. Or the guy was a moron. Take your pick.

That was creative, but it lagged quiet terribly, probably becuase of my computer. Don't worry, I think I can see my CPU landing right now.

It didn't lag on my computer, so if you get yours up and running you'll see the awesomeness that is this ad.

That was really neat!  At first I thought YouTube was glitching up again.

I checked out the official website. I think it was neat - if not easy and a bit unnecessary - that they had a treasure hunt/mission objective to get some wallpapers. The purple one is by far the best one(two are unavailable at the moment for some reason). It's good enough to adorn my desktop.

The more I watch this, the more awesome it becomes. I now figured out you can drag around the "broken stuff" after it falls out of place. I even got the video to replay after turning everything upside down!

This was a particularly creative advertisement. I do wonder, however, if this ad was aimed at any particular audience. Considering that it's on YouTube, I would think it's going after casuals, but the amount of work put into it suggests otherwise....

Yeah, but something was different, I just can't put my finger on it. Oh! I knows! The lack of Fanboy "wi suks! 360 for Evars!!!" comments!

That was amazing! I had to momentarily sedate NoScript (Firefox extension) to get it to run though since the entire thing is a Flash file that mimics a YouTube page.

Wonder how many people are going to ask "how did they DO that?" I don't think we're going to see shaken-up videos elsewhere anytime soon, although it'd be cool. Imagine a RickRoll that destroys the browser while it's playing.

I didn't look at this thread cause I thought it would be boring.  But when I finally did and watched the video it was awesome!!  Thanks for showing us this Wiiario!
