If you want to see the American brawl commercial its suckage has been running amuck on fusetv for the past hour or longer. which brings me to this

Why the hell do Americans have the crappy commercial! I wanted it to be epic!

I wanted it to hit hard and be epic to make me want to say "I Have to play that game!" *cough* "kingdom hearts was epic" *cough*

but from the looks of the commercial it just looks like a mediocre game that those Japanese people are playing now days.

gerr times 100

but anyways discuss

Watching people smile and laugh cheesily doesn't exactly attract me.

*sigh* The Smash 64 commercial was just pure amazing compared to Melee and Brawl's. Sadly, their commercials will still work, since people will remember the "wii would to play" corniness. At least, showing a commercial is a good sign of Nintendo being ready to sell their newest cash baby (albeit a good one).

It's not the worst commercial, but it, as I feared, doesn't show enough varied gameplay. In one shot it's Mario's Final Smash coming from the left. In another shot it's Samus' Final Smash coming from the left. C'mon now.

And yeah, the Smash 64 commercial was epic. They had the movie-preview announcer and everything. Hell, that commercial alone made me want to buy the game. This one just doesn't have any real effect.

Nintendo's aiming at the casual crowd with these new commercials because they know that the hardcore were already on board way back when the game was announced.

I agree, Nintendo used to make better commercials. Nintendo markets to an expanded crown now though. At the end of the day, Brawl is still awesome. It's just a commercial.

The "WII WOULD RIKE TO PRAY " theme will fade soon. The N64's theme for a time was "Get N or get out".
THe Gamecube's commercials showed gameplay footage on screens that rotated like a cube. The Super Nintendo had one too, but I don't remember.
IMO, they should air the Japanese commercials, translate the text, and keep them intact.

chances are there was a cheesy tv-family or group of friends in the commercial right?

it's basically Nintendo's considerable attempts at still labeling the Wii as a family-friendly console.

The ending is especially epic.

They dont show 3 Min adverts on Tv though? Thats probably one that will be used on Amazon and stuff.

The 'Wii would like to play' advert is pretty poor. Just shows FINAL SMASHES. But I guess they know all the same Smashers as before will buy brawl so theyre trying to show whats new to grab more people. With Smash 64 they actually needed people to join the smash bandwagon. But I think your all right in saying that those adverts are a poor effort.

They did some various things, but "Play it LOUD" was what they were using at one time.

The Wii Would Like to Play commercials failed so hard, it made Superman 64 look good.

I expected something better... I mean come on, "DA BRALW 2 NED DEM LAWL!" sounds pretty stupid. :(

It was... short. The actual footage was shorter than the Japanese guys promoting the Wii.

We need another SSB64 commercial. Or a Pikmin 2 one. Hell, something along the lines of Kirby Canvus Curse would be better than that.

The reality to me just seems like targetting hardcore audiance on TV commercials just don't do much anymore since a majority of hardcore players tend to get there information from more direct sources... so they have to go after the audiance that is paying less attention.

Ugh, I was really hoping they'd just bring over the one with the SSE cutscenes. That one was so awesome and epic-looking... This one is just terrible. It's not even that great for pulling people in...

brawl doesn't need an epic commercial, if people are true fans they already know how great this game will be without having to look on a television to re-assure them!
