The First Nintendo Switch 2 Commercial Features Paul Rudd Throwing It Back To His SNES Days

Nintendo America has dropped the first Nintendo Switch 2 commercial and it features none other than Paul Rudd recreating his iconic SNES commercial from the 90s.

The commercial is a near one for one re-creation of the commercial with Paul Rudd holding up the Nintendo Switch 2 and jamming it into the dock, just like he did with a SNES cartridge in the 1991 commercial.

It then features the actor playing Mario Kart World with some special guests as he runs through the features of the Switch 2 and the game. It’s a pretty cool commercial and nice to see Nintendo recognise its history (and first ever console follow-up) as well. The original commercial was titled ‘now you’re playing with power’ and the new one is suitably called ‘now you’re playing together”.

Nintendo also dropped the original commercial alongside the new one, so you can watch both below:
