Which, when you think about it, makes little sense. In truth, Nintendo is being smart with the American commercials. By presenting all games in the same "Wii Would Like to Play" format, they try to homogenize the experience of playing games to the point where genre or accessibilty won't matter.

Thats why you see a 30-something man playing Metroid Prime 3 in that commercial as well as kids playing Super Paper Mario. It's a clever ploy. It's for people with the Wii and Wii Sports, and no clue about what else to eventualyl get for it.

Not at all, but it is more for people who don't know about the game then those who do, which is why many SWF people do not enjoy it, I do though.

Is it just me or does that "commercial" that you posted have a distinct lack of um... just about everything from a "wii would like to play" commercial. you know like the car and the two jappanese dudes going to a random house and saying "Wii would like to play." and playing the advertised game with random people.

The problem most people have with Brawl getting this type of commercial is that NoA is advertising to the wrong audience.

The Wii would like to Play commercials are brilliant and they work excellent for certain titles.

But they market to a casual audience and not the hardcore gamer. This type of advertising backfires for certain games, like Prime 3 - since obviously they don't have much appeal to the casual gamer.

Of course, Smash is going to do fine anyways, since the audience for it is pretty much locked in.

Obviously it was going to get the "Wii would like to play" treatment. Still don't think it's really the game for it.

Smash Brothers by nature is a casual-oriented game. They could make a commercial that both hardcore and casual gamers could enjoy. It's not like Nintendo has to make every game on Wii look like casuals could play it and have fun, especially when Smash is already a franchise that most people know about.

But hey, I guess if it gets the awareness out more than ever, why not, right?
