Wii TV commercial

Wii TV commercial

There are only 5 days until the Wii's launch, up until now TV channels have been void of any Wii adverts. All that changes tonight as the first Wii commercial begins airing.

The commercial is 30 seconds long and part of a series of 4. It features two Japanese men visiting homes across America announcing "Wii would like to play!".

I've seen Wii adverts on tmf and channel 4 on UK freeview tv. It's the wiimote and a hand grabbing it that's it. Same ad as Japan.

Well that took a while. Commercial's pretty good though. Better than Sony's PS3 commercials, as it shows ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.

The whole surreal art direction of ps3 ads is supposed to be cool, I find it utterly stupid and over the top. The psp ads in uk didn't help one bit, ds is raping it blind.

Good thing this is advertisement for the Wii. "XBox 360 would like to play" oddly doesn't sound as hip.

I downloaded the ad. It's basically two questionable looking Japanese dudes walking up to some Americans front door, saying "Wii would like to play" and then playing Wii with the whole family. The commercial is a bit strange but it does manage to convey the message that the Wii is playable by everyone.

For the Canadians out there, the Best Buy and Future Shop commercials seem pretty dumb. You agree?
