Tag: Superbowl

Nintendo hasn’t been the best these past couple of years when it comes to marketing.

This is mostly due to the fact that they constantly tried chasing the casual market after the success of the Wii to very little success. Now with the switch, Nintendo hasn’t completely left the casual market down and out, but they have taken a bigger focus to the core gamer. This can mostly be seen in the newest Nintendo Switch trailer which will actually be playing during the Superbowl! Believe it or not, this is Nintendo’s first foray into Superbowl commercials (Pokemon 20 was Pokemon Company). The trailer features your average Joe Schmoe the 3rd waking up and doing his daily routine, but also playing Breath of the Wild alongside it. The music accompaniment is nice, but not using Will Smith’s Switch is a tad disappointing (you still have time to right that wrong Nintendo.)

What do you think of the trailer? Tell us in the comments below, and also check out the extended commercial right here.
