Nintendo brings in Paul Rudd for Switch 2 commercial [update: different commercial]
April 19: Nintendo just posted a new 90-second commercial with celebrity Paul Rudd, who has been brought in to help promote Switch 2.
In a way, this is a full circle moment for both sides. Rudd was actually in a commercial for the SNES way back in 1991, which was well before he became the popular actor that he is today.
For the Nintendo Switch 2 commercial, he’s showing off the hardware and GameChat. Mario Kart World is also naturally a big focus.
Here’s the new Nintendo Switch 2 commercial with Rudd:
