The guy on the right's a little over-impressed, we'd say

Nintendo, as always, is utilising various tactics and styles of marketing to promote its next hottest products, with 13th February bringing gamers in Europe and North America the New Nintendo 3DS and some major releases. Some fresh TV commercials promoting key games and the new systems have been released in the US, and they're both effective and cheesy.

Each commercial focuses on the New 3DS and a specific game, in this case The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. These TV spots actually remind us of some dodgy trailers that the original 3DS had in the UK back in March / April 2011, which showed reactions and gamers generally ooh-ing and aah-ing. In fairness to these commercials they are flashier than those older adverts, and feature some recognisable faces from YouTube, presumably those that aren't affected or complaining about the outlet's Creators Program beta currently underway in the country.

As 30-second snapshots these are effective, in any case - check them out below and let us know what you think of them in the comments section.
