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.
This is the Nintendo I know and love. Finally showing some confidence. “Because it’s Nintendo” should become their catchphrase.
Agree!
Wii u needs advertising. Wii u needs all support but Nintendo only focus on 3DS as always. Stupid!
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.
This advert is what Nintendo is all about, playing good games with good friends
I got cancer watching this advertisement.
well maybe you deserve it
No one deserves cancer. Shame on you!!!
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
To be fair, Anubis didn’t say “Don’t make fun of cancer!”, he said “No one deserves cancer.” :-/
All this over a cosmological sign.
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
True. Cancer should be treated seriously
I know some people on the internet lack compassion but mocking a disease that can destroy a family emotionally is just plain sadistic
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!
Hypocrite exposed lol
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
Lmao you just destroyed him
Thank you.
It’s too early to be thinking about Christmas.
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. 💋
“Because its Nintendo”. Best. Catchphrase. Ever.
couldn’t agree more ^^ now we need WiiU commercial with same attitude
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.
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. 💋
Ditto, I live in Southern Africa and recently there has been a lot of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U adverts on TV, as well as a ton of promotional events
^ Same in France! ^^
Arrête de regarder la télé.
I heard SM3DW commercials from my sister’s room when she was watching Disney channel last night.
I fucking love it. “Because it’s Nintendo”
A+++
“Focussing on children playing on 3DS and 2DS”
Not this shit again…
You have been a kid also don’t you? ^^
I play 3DS with my kids all the time.
Great advertisement.
But it always works, no?
Nintendo Is for LiL Kiddos #DealWithIt
Your mother know you are here? No! Go back to sleep in your cave, TROLL!! -_-‘
Because maturity is based on how many heads I can blow off #insecure
And yet Nintendo sold the most consoles in the past generation.
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).
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/15/wii-u-sales-xbox-ps3_n_3598147.html
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!
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…
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
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.
Why are you so interested in Iwata?
Because I believe he’ll be the first mutant to come out of Japan’s Fukushima radiation.
So you’re making fun of the Fukushima incident? BTW, he doesn’t even live in that area in Japan, stupid
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.
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.”
Who ever said I wanted a Wii 3? The very idea is stupid. Don’t act like you know me
Well I do have a mind reader machine. ;)
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
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.
Sorry man Adam just killed you and now you have nothing credible to say
Meh, I say what I want to say. Have a problem?
Why are things being censored for children and gameplay is simplified to the point where all joy is sucked out? Because it’s Nintendo.
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”.
So asking for a challenge = wanting rated M games?
What the–don’t ask it’s Nintendo.
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.
You read into things too much……..
Why are trolls so scared?
“Because It’s NINTENDO!” ^^
Ha! Good one!
Why are people like you here talking trash? Because they are trolls
…. So you want children to play M rated games?
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.
Completely agree! Nintendo really needs to show that their system truly is for everyone.
Wii wish U a merry christmas! ; )
LOL, makes sense. But somehow I get the feeling they’ll be playing Silent Night instead.
Why did the chicken cross the road? BECAUSE ITS NINTENDO. It’s body was ready.
It’s body was Reggie xD
Good one x)
I already saw a Chrismas ad on disney XD It was Wii U 3D world
#BecauseitsNintendo
PREACH IT B!TCH.
WHY IS MY CONSOLE NOT NEXTGEN??
*BECAUSE ITS NINTENDO*
People like you, stay on PS4 or Xbox One websites. You only care about graphics.
Reblogged this on Blog of an e-marketer by Main Uddin.
Happy Birthday Wii U!
they better do a wii u version soon else im going to lose confidence in nintendo they see its struggling do something about it
Yeah it’s the Wii U’s bday. They should’ve came out with a big commercial for it today.
Because its Nintendo lmao
Nintendo- kids only zone, middle finger to the hardcore fans.
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.
hahaha this coming from the fanbase with the majority of autistic diaper wearing sonic fags
why are all those children playing the 3DS with the 3D turned up to maximum ?
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.
Last kid looks embarrassed as fuck when he says “… what do you play ?”. Pretty sure he plays on Playstation or Xbox, ahahah.
Why aren’t the advertising Wii U still? Do they want the console to die out early? I personally don’t! Think Nintendo, think!!!!
Now, THIS, this is how you make a commercial. Now do one for the Wii U.
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!!
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.. -_-
