True, but someone would pull something like "male garbage" or some shite like that because, let's face it, the internet ain't really chill.

People would say that commercial is too violent for a Childs game system and remember Nintendo is mainly kid friendly

Nintendo seems to get more weird when they aren't doing particularly well. Stuff like the Robot Chicken or Muppets E3 Directs seem impossible to happen today, but if we were in another Wii U era, I think such ideas would still be regularly being blasted at us in attempts to remind us how zany and fun Nintendo can be. I think we saw a fair amount of this kind of stuff in the GameCube/GBA era as well. Not that the GBA was doing poorly, but the GameCube wasn't doing hot, and as such Nintendo seemed to venture into more of the mature kind of content, they had some rather risque ads back then, and leaned a little more heavily into any Mature rated games that would come their way like Geist.

Yeah, Nintendo definitely did experiment with strange and mature content during that time, especially with some of the advertising for the GameCube. While you had stuff like the Super Mario Sunshine commercial with the song about the environment, you also had a bunch of other ads presenting bizarre scenarios of people being trapped in glass cubes with game footage, or a guy waking up in a hospital bed with his internal organs shaped like cubes. To put it simply, Nintendo put out some pretty weird shit during that era lol.

But I totally see how Nintendo's marketing changes depending on if they're doing well or not.
