They should have done this with the Wii and the WiiU

Also, this must have been recorded with mics from the dollar store...

I made it less than a minute in before the subtle subtext of "hey, get the 3DS instead of the DSi you moron!" made me feel bad for everyone involved in this thing >_>

So i'm guessing that they made this due to customer feedback and opinions. I gotta wonder though, do they really have that many people that are confused by this? Also, by showing this vid, it almost seems like it's admitting they messed up in marketing or released something too similar too quickly. Too many eggs in the basket.

Oh man...So instead of making those awesome game trailers for kids like they used to in the 90's, they make buyer guides for 40 something moms.

That's kinda sad....

And Sparkle Snapshots 3D? I'd have to be INSANE to not buy into the Nintendo family of handheld hardware now! And I am! Insane, I mean.

The jauntiness and volume of the music was not in line with the excitement of the pitch itself. Made the whole thing a little more sad than it probably actually was.

Netflix on my 3DS, eh? I tried that once just to see how bad the picture quality was and couldn't even get a video to start. Don't get me wrong, I love my 3DS, but the idea that anyone would use it to watch movies on Netflix is absurd.

I think people who would watch this video on Youtube or Nintendo's website would already be clued in to what their different handhelds are.

... why does it look like they recorded this with a webcam? They're fucking Nintendo. Did they seriously not have a halfway decent camcorder laying around? Couldn't afford one from petty cash? I am very confused.

Why do we need to get a whole new 3DS for? Just buy that new 3D thing and stick it into our old DS. Saves us a tonne of money!
