Check Out Nintendo’s Christmas TV Commercial

Nintendo has released its Christmas advert with a simple message to attract consumers this season. Focussing on children playing on the 3DS and 2DS within the home, the car and, even, outside in the snow, the advert asks the question: “why do we play 3DS?” A number of reasons follow while showcasing stellar games such as Pokemon X and Y and Animal Crossing, but it’s clear that the final answer is the most straightforward: “because it’s Nintendo.” Will there be an adult follow-up this year, or a family orientated Wii U advert? Let us know what you think of the commercial in the comments below.

  1. All Nintendo has to do is show like Mario, Call of Duty, and Wii Fit U (system that applies to everyone). Say it’s backwards compatible with Wii so people know it’s a new system, and show that $299.99 price.

        1. read his comment if you didn’t bother to here it is

          “I got cancer watching this advertisement”

          Now I didn’t wish him cancer, he made fun of how serious cancer is, please in future Anubis read the whole discussion because otherwise we all look like fools

            1. I agree no one deserves cancer, but he musnt say that this advert gave him cancer, if he doesn’t like it its his opinion, but bringing cancer into this is crossing the line, I would never make fun of cancer orr wish people cancer, I should know more than anyone here cancer is a devastating ordeal, my father died of cancer and it was not something to be joked about

                  1. Just like you mocking the deadly disease of eczema. Shame on all of you. BTW, in the period between 1845 to 2012, most of my family died so I am particularly sensitive to the death subject and disgusted with all of you!

                  2. dont act you didnt know what you were implying troll. your comeback is the equivalent of saying you have black friends so it was justified to use the n-word

                    rather then saying he desereved cancer you coldve easilly said its wrong to use cancer in that context

                    keep digging your way out maybe youll reach china

    1. It’s only 5 weeks til Christmas. It’s not too early, everyone just keeps on forgetting that Thanksgiving is late this year. It is AS LATE as it possibly could be. 💋

  2. HAPPY BDAY WII U. I REMEMBER LAST YEAR I WAS COUNTING THE HOURS JUST TO GET THAT CRAP. A YEAR LATER IM COUNTING SECONDS JUST TO GET MY HAND ON SM3DW.

  3. Just so people know, I live in the Northeastern part of the U.S and I have seen at least four Nintendo Wii U comercials on T.V as well as some for the 3DS. This is also coming from someone who doesn’t watch a lot of television. Sunday night is really the only night I sit down to watch Walking Dead and Homeland. 💋

      1. LOL, so you’re subconsciously admitting that the Wii was toddler appealing garbage, which would either make you a kid or a pedofile by default for enjoying and defending it.

        The only reason Wii even sold was because of that motion sensing dildo fad gimmick. Proof? The Wii had the lowest software attach and utilization rate (360 having the highest).

        Meaning people who bought the Wii quickly became bored of it and stopped buying or playing their shitty games.

        Iwata confirms this by saying:
        “The Wii was able to reach a large number of consumers who had never played games before by bringing hand-on experiences with its Wii Fit. However, we could not adequately create the situation that such new consumers played games frequently or for long, consistent periods. As a result, we could not sustain a good level of profit.”

        What’s your best comeback for that? Is it troll? Xbox/Sonydrone? CoD fanboy?

        When I read comments like yours, it makes me glad that Swapnote, Flipnote, and the upcoming 3DS Miiverse are being censored. But who cares, right? So long as Nintendo’s profits are above your own.

        Prepare your anus because it’s Nintendo!

        1. Wow, you’re soo right, you knew deep in my mind that I was thinking that. Can I borrow your mind reader machine please? And, you had to write so much to prove your point. What a nag and troll, LOL…

        2. By the way, in the end, the Wii sold more than Xbox 360, no one really cares about anything other than that. Your excuse is just a way to make your small brain think that the Xbox 360 is waaay better than the Wii

          1. Define “no one” are they classified as one-sided Nintensheep? Iwata sure as hell cared, since he himself admitted it was a bad business move to focus on just casuals. You’re further proving my point. Same reason Wii U sold like shit during its launch. Same reason it’s still selling like shit. No one is impressed by the motion sensing gimmick anymore. If you didn’t notice, the Wii U’s sales had increased when Wind Waker HD was released, and Nintendo is depending on SM3DW to further increase Wii U sales by the end of the holidays, why? Because in the long run games are the real key factor. That’s why Iwata wanted to gain back the attention of the core audience that left during the Wii and moved to other consoles.

                  1. Radiation spreads to the waterways and makes itself into the ocean, the fish they eat and eventually the water they drink. LOL, better pray for them if you want that Wii 3.

                    1. Further proof Iwata may star in a future Xmen or Incredible Hulk film:
                      “Tepco admitted that radioactive groundwater was leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the site bypassing an underground barrier built to seal in water.”

            1. Wait… What? The Wii U sold more units than the Xbox 360 and the PS3, and didn’t several gaming websites state that Nintendo should have stuck for its casual messaging? You don’t make sense LOL

        3. Well here’s a great example of “Apologetic Rationalization” in action. Always making bad excuses and defenses to excuse the mistakes and avoid facing or dealing with the real truth and reality of the situation.

  4. Why are things being censored for children and gameplay is simplified to the point where all joy is sucked out? Because it’s Nintendo.

    1. Why did you pretend to grow up by playing “mature” games yet come to a nintendo news site to troll. Coz “I’m a closet N fanboy”.

      1. And you do realize you just insulted your own base? Your post is pretty much implying I’m messing with children, LOL. Which would explain a lot.

  5. Now release a commercial with teenagers, adult ppl playing third party wii u games, ac4, ghosts, batman origins, deus ex, mh3. and show ppl u have games for every age.

    sometimes nintendo makes their consoles look like a fisher price machine.

  6. loving the mature gamer breed believing chainsawing aliens is more mature than playing a kirby game. life must be awesome for them. they don’t understand what’s going on around them but at least they seem to have fun.

  7. Why doesn’t the Wii U get better commercials like this? Nintendo, you need to make great commercials for all your systems. Not just the 3DS.

  8. Last kid looks embarrassed as fuck when he says “… what do you play ?”. Pretty sure he plays on Playstation or Xbox, ahahah.

  9. Why aren’t the advertising Wii U still? Do they want the console to die out early? I personally don’t! Think Nintendo, think!!!!

  10. Why do they keep advertising for the 3ds. IT’S SELLING JUST FINE NINTENDO!! You shoud take all 3ds adverts and PUSH them to thee Wii u! Focus on Your hOME CONSOLE that isn’t doing well instead of your HAND HELD that sells a billion units everyday!!

  11. I personally don’t want any commercials teasing for a Wii U, I’m broke as it is and things like smash bros adverts make me cry a little inside.. -_-
