Time for me to catch some sleep! I’ve had a great Saturday, full of friends and fun. I sure hope you guys had a great day as well. Let’s hope that Mother’s Day goes even better! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mommies that read GoNintendo! I’ll see all of you in just a few, short hours.

Reader hylianheroloz was nice enough to link us into something he found on YouTube. It happens to be the commercial for Punch-Out!! Wii. The thing is, this video is almost 2 minutes in length. You can be sure that Nintendo will have a 15 and 30 second edit of this commercial, with the full version appearing on the Nintendo Channel as well as in retail stores. At least, I think it will be shown in those chains! They put a lot of work into this just to share an edited version via TV.

Anyway, check out this commercial/promo video that I believe to be one of Nintendo’s best ads in a long time.

You know why I find this commercial so great? It’s nothing but a love-letter to long-time Nintendo fans, as well as fans of Punch-Out!!. Nintendo must have put a lot of time into this, working very closely with the company that put it together. I just keep watching it over and over…I can’t get enough of it!

What do you think of it? Worthy of the praise I’m dishing out, or is it just another boring commercial? Leave a comment and let us know.
