You know maybe they are trying to appeal to a different crowd for this system release.... i honestly found that commercial the most non-funny thing in the world.

I think kids watch their show and that the marketing is still directed at kids.

I have to admit it seems like it was done by amateurs. of course its not nearly the worst commercial.

Are the 'Wildboyz' funny in your culture?

if you are talking to me I hadn't heard of them until now but its not really that funny. unless you think getting killed by a lion is a potentially funny concept.

movement is d pad. shooting is l trigger. aiming is drawing on the screen.
for clarification there are around four control schemes in the game shown(metroid prime hunters)
1.standard using the screen to aim with right hand and tapping on the screen to shoot and the d-pad to move
2.southpaw the left hand uses the toughscreen while the a b x and y buttons control movement
3.two variations where l shoots and tap does something else

They thought, "Lions can't climb trees, can they?".

I remember now why I hate commercials so.

While the commercials they've been showing in Japan are a bit weird, they're no where as bad as that commercial.

I can't believe that's a real Nintendo commercial and that "making of" is really hosted on their servers. WTF?
