"piece of crap" - please explain.
iPhone X is not a piece of crap either, is a great phone but being the first of his kind from Apple it has some issues and it's definitely not worth it over 1000$, i got the iPhone 8 Plus instead

It wasn't anything special. Made me think the are selling Joycons that attach to any tablet. Reminded me of those crappy iOS and Android controllers from a few years ago.

I agree with this post 100%. We're talking about the people who thought the DS could play 3DS games just in 2D and people who thought that the Wii U was a tablet for the Wii.

Wait, for corporate systems or with direct end-users (employees laptops, desktops, stuff like that).

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
It's ok. But there are other better Switch ads. Nintendo changed their ad firm last year, back to the one they had in the early Wii days. They had changed it just prior to launching Wii Fit.
Can see the similarities, but the last Apple ad I saw was really shitty. In fact they've been on a downslide lately. It amazes me how much they've been growing regardless.

I love the Wii U ad campaign where they have child actors pretending to give a power point presentations to other children in their neighborhood about how the Wii U isn't just the same thing as a Wii while actually giving a power point presentation to the kids at home about the same thing.

The marketing for the Wii U was so bad.
This kid pretty much covers it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nexd5fkCH_U
The Smash commercial featuring Steve from Stranger Things is even worse.

That just looks like a pretty standard and generic ad. I mean, there is nothing wrong with it and it probably accomplished what it was designed to do.
But brilliant ?
Also, Of all the features and arguments you can use to convince people to buy a switch, being able to buy $80+ controllers in various colours is one of the weaker ones.
As far as selling the console goes. If this is brilliant then the reveal trailer whas...I don't know...god like ?

Commercial focuses too heavily on color options being a selling point compared to the rest of the more prominant switch features

I love it, and so do 10 million people apparently

I'd also believe this. Or that maybe the game is stored on the controller so they don't need to buy the game separately.

...hate me...
I like the Switch but I didn't like that ad at all.
It doesn't seem to have any original photography to it. Just the early official 2D renders, colors edited in Photoshop, animated in whatever Adobe program kids use these days. Completely in 2D. The only perspective shot seems to be 2D as well, with some distortion to simulate 3D. Just very amateurish and low rent.
The tune was fairly annoying.
I guess it does the service of showing some games.

Then it's true. Nintendo is the Apple of gaming.

Mehhh...
Too much bezel, not enough skin.

This is what I want to see...
The design and placement of the Home button in the ad/switch is ugly, distracting and should be revised in the Switch XL. There is no reason for the Home button to have a white circle encircling it. Ideally, the Home button should be a single black circle (no white border) with a corresponding circular Capture button on the left Joy-Con identical in size and shape to the Home button;
The look of the Switch and the Joy-Cons would also improve significantly if the Capture and Home buttons were both round and perfectly centered (or at least aligned with the other buttons) on their respective Joy-Cons so that they line up directly under the Joystick and Down/B Button and act as the center button when the Joy-Con is held sideways;
The overall Switch's design would look much cleaner and more symmetric if both the Home and the Capture Buttons are identical in shape (2 identical black circles without the gray/white circle around them) and centered in position, or at least aligned with the other buttons, on each respective Joy-Con.

It's much easier to make good adds when you have product people actually want.

Ugh, that design spells, "scratched glass, broken bezels." I actually find this unlikeable for some reason... Maybe because it reminded me of curved screens on smartphones so much that I don't want to be near any of them.

You have a lot of hope for the intellect of humanity, and I commend you for that.
My comment isn't aimed at the ad, but people watching the ad.
