It's quality software regardless if you're excited.
Call me crazy but I feel we didn't wait that much. The game seems like it was announced a week ago.

Lol I love the song so damn much. Perfect amount of camp for such a bonkers game

Shown 1 year ago and officially announced 9 months ago.
Compare that to Breath of the Wild

Honestly I find it difficult for commercials to excite me about anything in general. In the case of video games commercials usually feel like the most dull and uninspiring samples of the gameplay of each game they portray peppered into a reel, even.
This one is really cute though, even if it doesn't really make me any more or less likely to purchase the game than I would be otherwise. I just really like the song and it feels less forced than most dance number commercials.

That feeling you get when you play this Mario game. It's just pure fun and joy. It's a video game.

It's a good commercial but I don't see the "greatness"...

I'm with you. And I can appreciate the joviality of the ad. It's welcome. I just understand that my preference isn't being targeted by it. I'm also not so stubborn as to translate that into "this game isn't for me". The commercial works in a way I do not understand, but I respect its place. Which leads me to the leap of faith purchase mentality.

It's pretty good. Looks like they put a lot more effort into it than they did 3D World's Commercial. I wonder how they'll cut it for TV though.

That's amazing! Great, fun trailer. Makes you want to jump up along with them. Really unique. What a catchy song.
Awesome! Go King K. Rool!
This is so odd and so great at the same time.

Man, that's so weak in comparison.
But good lord, does anyone remember this trailer for 3D World in the UK? Those faces in the beginning, my god.
Nintendo felt so hopeless during that era.
I noticed he flicked the right joy-con @ 00:34, to throw Cappy? Anyone know if this can be disabled? Want to play discreetly in the office
You don't have to use motion controls. Everything is paired to a button

Note: Gameplay primarily featured from 1:00 - 1:30
In the first 60 seconds of it, there were probably like 8 seconds of gameplay shown.
I'm really not a fan of focusing so much on actual people singing and dancing. Focus on the game.

Thank Nintendo for an entertaining advertisement for a video game that doesn't end with a bump pushing a preorder for exclusive content and a free double XP booster.

We didn't know ANYTHING about the Switch one year ago, beyond rumors and hearsay.
Everything's been extremely fast moving.

Cause this is THRILLAAAAHHHH!!!
In 9 days it'll be the one year anniversary of the debut for "Mario Switch"
Nintendo's highly anticipated endless runner

This is a longer cut, so I'd expect the 30 second edit to get quicker to gameplay.
But regardless, the mainstream audience doesn't care that much about gameplay. This commercial is a masterpiece of establishing tone and introducing concepts. It's eye catching, exciting, and perfectly sells what Odyssey is - even if it doesn't show the actual game until the last third.

I know Splatoon 2 is kinda iterative and doesn't have the epic open world punch of these two. . .
But I really love it enough that it being in the same year as these two just feels like icing on the cake.
Nintendo knocked it out of the park this year.
I think I hate NeoGAF
Splatoon 2 is the early front runner for game of the gen iterating on previous game of the gen winner Splatoon

Well, yeah - cut out the first minute and you're good to go.
GAF's "the mainstream audience"?

Loved it, great video. Now, please NoA, just use cuts from this to air on TV, you don't need to make your own boring ad as usual.
