Nintendo enlists the help of a metallic woman and a SWAT team to flaunt their latest products.
Nintendo has recently updated their site with a couple of promotional spots for two of their games: the recently released Mario Power Tennis and the upcoming (and eagerly anticipated) Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
The Metroid Prime 2 commercial is the one that was described by Reggie Fils-Aime when Planet GameCube had the opportunity to speak with him. This commercial features a woman walking down a dark street. As she walks along, metal is attatching itself to her as though forming armour. While she walks, you see the view alternating between her looking normal and covered in metal. Finally, she stands and poses, covered in metal except for her head, and points an arm cannon up at the sky, towards skittering creatures. Then gameplay footage is shown.
The Mario Power Tennis commercial is equally bizzare. SWAT team members are pushed onto a tennis court by their leader, while they're all looking nervous and worried. Strange gunshot-like sounds are heard and a SWAT team member dives to deflect what turns out to be a rapidly approaching tennis ball. Then gameplay footage is shown.
Both commercials can be found at the links below:
