They're not even trying to hide the Super Nintendo Switch angle. It's nice when they're self aware.

Nintendo really should have called the thing a Super Nintendo Switch to really come full circle here.

LOL you beat me to that with the classic commercial. XD
Guess that's why they uploaded it. Either way, hope more is coming. They really just just unload their entire vault of classic commercials.

Anyone under the age of 20 would've misinterpreted that name as a pro model.

i think its intentional to show he's wearing a wig to call back his 90s haircut.

They keep showing these 3fps streams as if its something impressive even in situations where they could easily lie and show a fake video 😭😭😭😭

Even today's parents might be confused ad to whether or not it's a pro model.
It's a cute idea. But it's a bad name.

Incredible call back. Wish Rik Mayall was around still so they could've done this in the UK too.

personally i think this advertisement is lowbrow and i'm confused by their strategy. it feels like its marketed to children and lower case g " gamers "-- aka tourists with a low software attach rate who stick to just one SKU over a decade. another example of Nintendo entering its Mattrick/PS3 moment.

I went to comment in the original thread but it got locked so I guess I'm here?
What a callback. Doesn't really make me want a Switch 2, but it's a fun callback.

So the Switch 2's unofficial (canon) name is indeed Super Nintendo Switch... nice!

the hardware folks were asked about this, that is indeed the compromise they reached witht he game devs to leave as much resources on the table for games as possible. nice they aren't lying about it?

It's a call back to the hair he had in the old commercial.

Nintendo wanted to distance themselves calling the Switch 2 the Super Switch
Also Nintendo

NCL wanted to distance,
NOA probably is fine playing to their millenial fans
But i think we all agree Super Switch, the unfortunately abbreviation aside, would be deemed 'confusing' for the ipad generation who would think it's a Pro model.

Nintendo focusing on graphics lost their identity.
But also "Playing with Super Power" back from SNES lmao

I think this ad kind of stinks. It would have been funnier to play it completely straight with copying the original ad but obviously swapping in Switch 2 games instead.

Whatever camera or makeup they used made Paul Rudd look the oldest I have ever seen him look.

You gotta respect Nintendo for showing an actual ad with like 10-15 fps video capture tho.
At least they are honest.
In other note, this whole major feature they are advertising only will work with a subscription (starting 2026) so like yeah... Cool I guess.

it is insane to me they are focusing so much on these low fps chat things, the camera background removal is cool i guess and all but the game stream looks absolutely awful.
