What will Nintendo do for its next Wii ad campaign?

By now, I’m sure you’ve seen Cowboy Jed and his Mario Kart Emporium on TV a few dozen times. Apparently we’ve seen the end of the “We would like to play” guys and their Smart Car. So what should Nintendo focus on for their next ad campaign? More importantly, what will the new slogan be? My suggestion is for them to hire DMX and have him yell: “Wii. What?! Wii. Word!!!” Okay, maybe not. Help me out here … share your suggestions for a new Nintendo slogan in comments.

Since XBox and PS3 always go for hard/almost metal rock riffs for their ads, Nintendo should go in a different direction and hire out indie/upbeat rockers, like Ok Go (or, if you want to keep hitting the nostalgia target, Weezer).

They should use Infendo Radio’s “We put the Wii, in weiner!” for everything. Problem solved all day baby.
Royalties for everyone.

I wish they’d bring back the two Japanese dudes. Cowboy Jed irritates the hell out of me. If I hadn’t already decided not to buy Mario Kart Wii, that commercial alone would have driven me away. Ugh.

Try mk12.com or 123klan.com… If you are trying to go urban or super classy pop. Both have done really hi end stuff.

They should hire Michael bay and have him direct a 10 minute explosion… And like at the end it says WII if you don’t have one you are not a MAN.
Also Brawndo should be involved somewhere.
