Nintendo releases 'friendly rivalry' Switch commercial for the holidays

Name a more iconic duo than Nintendo and expanded audience commercials. There are plenty of things Nintendo loves to do in both their games and hardware, but nothing gets their goat like creating commercials that show family and friends coming together to play Nintendo games. Case in point, the latest commercial Nintendo has released for the holiday season.

While Nintendo usually features a handful of Switch games in these kind of commercials, this time they put the focus on a single title; Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. You might laugh at the idea of Nintendo promoting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so many years after it launched, but it continues to be a massive sales mover and an expanded audience darling.

With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass now complete, there are more tracks than ever to enjoy in the game. What better way to spend the holiday than with some family and friends for a little virtual racing?
