The above ad is not officially endorsed by Nintendo. When asked for comment, Nintendo was too busy trying to sneak suspiciously friendly Japanese men into the homes of children and old people to tell us whether or not they'd approve of a metamorphic journey through our collective childhoods.
The ad is, however, one of the more awesome promotions I've seen for the Wii. Nintendo should be embracing the whole "The Wii is just like when you were a kid, only way more awesome and with boobs!" thing, but instead they fill the airwaves with ad after ad of gameplay footage and smiling laughing families! Nintendo, when are you going to realize that we want to see CGI films of consoles contorting and morphing into other consoles (and maybe some explosions, and two chicks making out), and not all this crap about how fun, innovative, or worthwhile your damn games are?

amen~
as soon as i finished i went out and bought the song.
Don't get me wrong, it's damn smooth, but they don't want anyone to associate the Wii with the Nintendo name and history too closely. Notice you don't even see Nintendo's name on any of the commercials. They're quite aware of the stigma, deserved or not, from the non-gameplaying public...that is, the very audience they're trying to court. Remember when everybody "played Nintendo," no matter what system you were using? That hasn't gone away completely.
Methinks it's looking a lot better on this page ;-)
But Jesus and Batman combined? C'mon. Nothing is better than Voltron Bat-Jesus!
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Very cool, I'm surprised that Nintendo hasn't had a commercial like this already.
You're forgetting The Voltron Bat-Jesus Norris Ninja Pirate Ranger from Space with the laser beam eyes.
But ya know....this ad may topple them all...
