Nintendo sure loves making a bunch of commercials for game releases in Japan!


This video went live on the Nintendo Video service a few days ago, but now it’s been published online for everyone to see. The second recording features the ”Ballad of the Goddess” song from Zelda: Skyward Sword. It almost brings a tear to my eye!


So, who’s getting this? For Wii owners, this could be the perfect game. The console’s release schedule was light overall this year, but now there’s a one-two punch with Rayman and Skyward Sword.
