Omg, who just saw that? John Cena was great.

Nice f'ing job Nintendo.

 

[king zell]

what happens in the commercial?

 

[methodman]

I missed it as well, what happened?

 

[Bishman]

It was so long. I would say a full minute of John Cena rapping about starting from the bottom and winning the WWE World Title Belt with a lot of gaming footage.

 

[Lemonz]

That was one of the greatest VG commercials I've seen.

 

[Bishman]

Hell yeah, at first I thought it was for the PS2, Smackdown! because it was that damn good. GJ Reggie.

[Wario64]

Does Cena rap about Nintendo in the commercial?

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

NY Mets represent!

 

[Memles]

Almost makes me want to sit through the rest of RAW to try to see it...but that ain't happening.

 

[bjork]

They show Bret in the commercial? Woo-hoo~!

 

[Penguin]

they just showed again.
Pretty sweet commercial.

 

[Lemonz]

Damn, that was a 30-second version.

 

[Bishman]

Damn, that was a 30-second version.

Yeah, wtf. The 60 second one was way better.

So I was watching this weeks RAW with a group of friends (hard core wrestling fans) who meet every monday and thursday to watch the shows, and they completely marked out to this commercial. They remarked that none of them had Gamecubes, but they would be buying one to play this game. Keep in mind that these guys are casual as they come.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Yeah, that was great commercial.

"All the way up to Velocity!"

Whoo! Go Cena!

You can get casuals to buy anything with commercials like this.. Nintendo is doing a nice job with commercials lately..

it would be nice if someone captures this commercial next time

Is this commercial anywhere? I remember seeing it on RAW, and thinking "Wow!"

There's a new game
And it's tearin' the streets up
Lace your boots
If you think you can keep up

Bra and panties match
When the divas strip down
Build characters so strong
Opponents skip town

But y'all rookies
Got a lot to learn
You ain't guaranteed fame
You get what you earn

It's the school of hard knocks
Where you pay your dues
Toughness is masured
In your black and blues

Start in small-time gyms
Where your chances are slim
Then rockin' a leather belt
Laced with gold trim

The world title
Have you got the guts to take it
This is a cutthroat game
Very few make it

You play weak games
Man this ain't you
This is real life passion
T-H-Q

The legends rock the staff
With hall of famers
Tough enough to beat
Even polished gamers

A bunch of superstars
From Smackdown and Raw
Get ready to fight
They about to crack down your jaw

I'm your number one choice
Your boy is sick
With moves so hot
I'm like I'm your joystick

Everybody else is lame dude
They can't see me
I'm runnin' the GameCube

The Day of Reckoning is coming
Remember I told ya
Keep your friends close
And your enemies closer
