Quantcast



Starting early next week, Nintendo will begin airing two new “Wii would like to play” commercials, this time focusing on Mii creation.

Can you imagine hearing a random knock of your door, answering it, and having those two guys standing there, demanding to play with your Wii? You would like to play? That’s great, but not tonight buddies, American Idol is on.

The first spot focuses on a creepy old man (who maybe not coincidentally looks like that other creepy old ‘man’ from the Six Flags ads) and his cruel family who find enjoyment in mocking him by seeing what his Mii would look like with, God forbid, an afro (gasp!). I bet that whole family will feel really bad when grandpa is forced to cry himself to sleep later.

Hit the jump for the second spot -- another cruel mockery, this time of a boss by his employees.  At least it ends well. I remember when I made a silly looking Mii version of my boss he just punched me in the face.  The commercial should come with a warning: comedic results not guaranteed.

You mean like this PS3 commercial?

At least you know what is being advertised, namely the actual product.

I'm wondering why Destruction hasn't put up anything on the No More Heroes trailer that was released today. That was awesome...

Shouldn't those people be working instead of dicking around with a Nintendo?

@Bluefusion: So, the Wii is great because the PS3 sucks.

I think SpiderChrist says it best. For the record, I am equally confused by the This is Living commercials. I do like the US PS3 commercials though.

I don't think they're pulling developers away from making games to do TV spots...

I expected a hilarious cruel mockery of the elderly, and was severly disappointed. If this were a different time sir, I would be slapping you with my glove.

The difference between Nintendo's Miis and Sony's...ummm...Copiis?(I gotta trademark that)

The Miis are cute and you can get away with punching your family or boss in front of them, all for a good laugh.

The Copiis are photorealistic, and probably really bleed and spew viscera from an exploded stomach once your Little Big guys drop a nuke in his stomach. While this would be damn fun to do to your boss in the privacy of your room, I doubt highly he'd appreciate seeing it in the same light,
