Here's Wii

Oh there you are you little scrapper.

Along with receiving my Wii last Friday (pictures to follow), Nintendo made their mega marketing push last night by airing the first US Wii commercial during Dancing with the Stars.

Now dang it if Nintendo doesn't want people embedding their commercial into their sites (like this fine establishement here). But you can check out the 30 second clip on YouTube right now. CLICK HERE

Of course, this is one of a four-part series of commercial blasts for the Wii. One that was embed-able is below for your viewing pleasure. The slogan "Wii would like to play" is pretty good, but not as good as the one I came up with when the Wii was first announced. I'm not going to drop it here, it'll be used in my review of Wii next week.

Congrats Nintendo, you've got a fantastic product (even given the limitations that the Wii internet server is not online yet, and that "Excitetruck" is only so-so), and a marketing campaign that makes "Now You're Playing with Power" look like kid-stuff.
