Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Trailer Revealed...

Nintendo will launch a multi-million dollar campaign kicking off the company's focus on taking the Nintendo DS online with a film-style teaser trailer hitting movie theaters this weekend.

"There is a great element of surprise to this ad," says Nintendo's advertising manager Kelli Koenig. "The spot opens on a very dramatic situation that you just wouldn't expect to be related to videogames or Nintendo. The spot clearly demonstrates Wi-Fi as it relates to the Nintendo brand with a nod to Mario Kart DS and it does this in a magical, clearly 'ownable ' by Nintendo kind of way."

Impressive. The first opening of Nintendo's newest investment. I could see this being really big.

I think the trailer could have been better.
More focuse on the GAMES and that it is NINTENDO who is now online!

But still not bad.

lol that was funny. But did it mean that when the guy threw the banana and the car wrecked that it meant that you can play online from a desert to a big city or something.

Brilliantly done Nintendo. a good mix of humour and the actual topic that is Nintendo WiFi

So the trailer was fun to watch (at least at a dedicated NINTENDO DS site - but it will fail to catch the audience.
What are these guye doing over there at NINTENDO? The DS COULD ALREADY be online and we all COULD phone over VOIP for almost a year - if these guys only would just do their homework. Bbe quicker and faster in your efforts to make things really happen :-(
So, I can only wait, and wait, and wait (and by the way looking how SONY PSP is catching up very smart - 2.0 any one ?
