Was McBain taken?

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks good. Only 14 days left!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Can't hear the audio but please tell me there is no dubstep in the commercial since its the same style as those launch WiiU commercials.

lol, there's no dubstep.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Nah, not that I noticed.

It seems to come off more like an 80s police procedural commercial.

 

[TimmiT]

Can't hear the audio but please tell me there is no dubstep in the commercial since its the same style as those launch WiiU commercials.

The style is only really shown during the beginning and end of the commercial, the rest is all gameplay/cutscene footage. And it also seems to be music from the game instead of dubstep.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

lol, there's no dubstep.

Awesome! I hope this sells great as it deserves to sell well. Everything in March depends on this.

 

[kittens]

Looks really fun.

 

[Tunavi]

This looks...good.

Hoping the 3DS version is good too.

 

[Like the hat?]

Def buying it. Just wish it had off tv play.
Buying this and probably need for speed, unless game and wario release date is announced before nfs releases

 

[Berg]

IIRC they're doing a midnight eShop release.

 

[MattKeil]

Don't have a Wii U, but if I did, this would be a sure buy for me. Played it at E3 and it was tons of fun.

 

[DaBoss]

Looks like a lot of fun and has that LEGO humor and quirkiness.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Heh, "all new Wii U".

 

[Flunkie]

Killer app? Killer app.

 

[iamaustrian]

day 1

Rex Fury looks so badass. best villian in a long time

 

[Coolwhip]

Pretty damn boring commercial. I thought/hoped they canned this cubicles campaign already.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Could have been better with this game easily. They really need to drop that awkward ass box. At least the ear killing music is gone.

 

[JDSN]

IIRC they're doing a midnight eShop release.

Nice.

 

[PhantomR]

NOA Marketing is on a roll. Very nice commercial.

:/

 

[roddur]

they used the word "all new", yay...............

 

[Hero]

Ditch the cube commercial angle, it's awful. The actual Lego footage and gameplay showing was good though.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Wait what? The Luigi Mansion 2 commercial blows this away. Makes this looked uninspired.

 

[deviljho]

You would have thought the they'd completely scrap it and go in a new direction...

 

[Vexxan]

So hyped to see how this game turns out and I don't even have a Wii U(yet!).

 

[PhantomR]

:/

Come on, are we gonna complain about every little thing NOA does? Great gameplay footage, to the point, and solid narration. It was a good commercial. Let's give credit where it's due.

I'm withholding the credit because I still see they haven't scrapped the cubes marketing. This commercial isn't super duper awesome. It's nice, that's about it. The Lego City footage could have been used in any advertising without the "cubes" intro and ending.

NOA itself has a lot of work to do before they gain my approval.

EDIT: Look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K9FWLpe9TA

 

[old manatee]

I hope the 3ds version is good. I'm dying for a portable open world to cruise around in.

 

[Coolwhip]

Why is Nintendo unable to put up high quality videos? If anyone finds a better quality version, please link!

 

[Cronq]

Hooray for eShop release! Getting this and NFS Most Wanted. Anyone know if that is eShop ad well?

 

[LOCK]

Just ok.

 

[codhand]

Looks great, day one.

 

[BlackJace]

NOA Marketing is on a roll. Very nice commercial.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahah.

 

[bequietdrive]

Not bad, hopefully they'll advertise it well over here in the UK too - could potentially shift a lot of systems to kids.

Like others have said, that lame "cube U" motif needs to go.

Also, they need to modify the end of the script from this...

"Available on the all new Wii U.."

to this...

"Available on the all new game console, Wii U..., which is not a controller for Wii, but a new console... that has new hardware... outputting HD graphics... which the old Wii could not do... understand?"

"Can I buy the controller separately then? I don't want that long box."

 

[grimshawish]

Still think the cube works well from a family round the TV angle. They showed the game here which is better than most!

Most games between now and unannounced stuff will be able to fit it nicely I suspect.

I think this is better...

"Available to the first 8th generation console, the Wii U!"

By the way, I just found an article in Ad Week panning the dubstep comercial..

Wii U Commercial Is a Spectacular Dubstep Disaster

Spot crushed under weight of its grating music By David Griner

Some readers felt we were being premature when we announced the death of dubstep at the hands of advertising earlier this year. But now you're going to wish we'd been right. Nintendo has released this 60-second spot for the new Wii U gaming console, and while the messaging is decent enough, the soundtrack is one of the most annoying in commercial history. A high-pitched dubstep screech builds to a shrillness of dentistry proportions while you're flashing from one family-friendly Wii U scenario to the next. By the end, I'm not sure I want a Wii U, but I'm damn positive I want that minute of my life back.

Them cubes.
I hate them.

Nevertheless, I'm contemplating getting a WiiU tomorrow for this.
It's just neat!

Pretty encouraging. Am I too optimistic for thinking that, had the loading times remained atrocious, they'd have pointed this out as a major negative in the review? (and thus, would have been included in this summary?)

[gogojira]

This commercial line is so shitty.

 

[Alexios]

Neat.
