….or so it would seem, as I had just posted a rant questioning Nintendo’s lack of Super Mario Galaxy hype, when they go and, first -and more subtly - release Super Mario Bros. 3 for Virtual Console in honour of Galaxy’s impending arrival, then they finally unload the long-awaited (by me anyways) commercial for it upon the airwaves and interwebs. ‘Bout time Nintendo, what took so long? As I originally feared, it continues the “Wii would like to play” series of ads, but its not as bad as I thought it would be. Still, I think they should have gone a different path with Galaxy’s ads, more in line with the terrific Japanese commercials. Perhaps for Smash Bros. I guess, as I’m not sure how that game will fit into the mould of the “Wii would like to play” style. Here’s a couple videos to compare, the just released North American commercial, and one of the Japanese commercials, which one do you prefer?
I like the “video-gamey” feel of the Japanese version, how about you?
