Just go there and watch it playaz, it's off da hook!

I can't believe that this is the ad they were able to come up with. I must admit though, the unintentional comedy in this commercial is instant classic.

I'm almost tempted to get a DS just for this game. It sounds amazing and it's going to be huge.....so why would Nintendo, who makes some great commercials, come up with something so awful.

Reggie the VP of Marketing and most clueless asshole on Earth strikes again.
Go back to VH1 where you belong.

NOA tries so hard to be cool and fails so badly every single time. I would love to hear the target market for that ad. What, Wiggers I guess?

"Play on, playa."

I figured out the commercial. When reading a recent preview of this game in a magazine I thought to myself, "This seems like the gayest game ever."

According to Nintendo's commercial...I have been proven correct. Why else would they try to make little boys think that playing Nintendogs is going to get them a plethora of 12 year old hoochies? They know the content and the demographic who is going to be attracted to this game.

I hope for some of you guys (i.e. adults on this forum) buying this that the game is better than it looks & sounds. It reads awfully silly to me...and I would hope that even our tweenies out there would see that and also see through this lame commercial.

You guys just aren't sophisticated enought to appreciate the irony of Nintendo's commercials. Between this, the "Clean is Better than Dirty; Dirty's Meaner than Clean!" Super Mario Sunshine commercial, and the Kirby's Dream Canvas commercial with the guy dressed up as a giant finger leading Kirby along, Nintendo makes the best commercials out there. The orginal Super Smash Bros. commercial was a classic as well.

Hmm. Well, that is an awfully crappy commercial. I wonder if they intended for the DS slogan "Touching is Good" to imply that all the girls rejected his sorry arse ways?

Ya know, this commercial might even be worse than the original Zelda commercial...

I can't take the suspense! Did it turn into a mass orgy or what?
