We're not
sure just how old this ad is, but we know we like it, just like Nintendo's other commercials.
Controlling objects in the world is an interesting prospect. Being able to let the sheer ecstacy of absolute power rush
through you in an awesome wave, well...it's a nice idea. Kudos on the French commercial Nintendo.[Update: The movie file is no longer embedded in the post, since it starts to download and play automatically. Click the "read" link or the image on the right to watch it.]

Not just French, European (at least as someone mentioned seeing it in Canada) as I also saw it on English TV (minus the shower scene).

Yep, definitely saw this at least a year ago here in Canada.
#6's comment, it's probably your damn FCC censoring anything remotely 'risque' for US TV. If you're not in the states, my humble apologies.
Anyway, awesome commercial. Nintendo's marketing department is certainly doing much better at promoting their products lately.

Can you please LINK this video instead.. it plays automatically for me everytime I load this page and its extremely annoying.. I had a hard time trying to figure out where that noise was coming from :D I eventually narrowed it down to DSFanboy (I open NintendoNews folder in my favorites in tabs).
Anyway, the commercial is pretty neat.. I liked how he controlled the airplane :P

I think I've seen this before on TV (although I'm not completely sure), with another commercial running during the same period which involved someone sitting in a cafe, noticing a smudge on the window, and then when trying to wipe it away with their finger shaking the whole world outside.

It's not French, it's indeed European. I know it played in Belgium, as well as The Netherlands...
Both 'uncut' (if you wanna know)
It's been the commercial to show the DS has launched...
So, a year old now, for us, Europeans... But it's nice to see it back ^^;

This Ad was shown for two month starting two weeks before the launch of the DS.
It had a huge success in France, and it still makes me smile !

By the way, the text at the end means "Nintendo DS : discover a new way to play"

Saw this commercial in Belgium about a year ago. Still like it, though.
