  • I could watch them playing together all day.

  • There's two of them!?!?!  Why wasn't I made aware of this sooner?

  • I had no idea there was a Monica Cruz.... How can there be 2? HOW?!

  • This is almost as hot as where I live in right now.

  • Cool
  • People who didn't know there are two of them -  In the last Pirates of the carribean movie they both played the same character, just so you know ;D

  • This made me laugh out loud. Not only does it make the game look like fun (which it will be) but it's just plain funny. We need more advertisements like this. I still remember the Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart: Double Dash commercials. Keep up the record of funny commercials Nintendo, preferably involving non specific action figure.

  • Only slightly less weird than naming your kid Zelda.

  • Funny Video Mario good message

  • Camera guy: My forearms are so tired right now!

  • I suppose it takes the Cruz's to make playing a DS look cool.

  • haha.. that was funny.. well.. noooo.. not at all... (more like a horrible B Movie)

    This aint gonna make me buy a 3ds or Mario game,just because a celeb is playing it,but i see why they do it though.

    They make these commercials,so the plain people gonna think.."Ohh so He/She plays it,then it must be cool or i wanna be like (insert Celeb) so im gonna deffently play this game.And they do this all the friggin time,with other products like Make-up and s***! and the less clever people buy´s this.

    I buy and play games,because i like the game,and not because some dumb a** celeb plays it.

    Penélope Cruz... your cute... but would you kindly f*** Off like the rest of Celebs making dumb commercials?
  • oh snap, i just realized they were playing video games O_o

  • OK....why? The Robin Williams commercial with daughter Zelda...cool. This-NOT!!!! True gamers do not sit like that while gaming. The gals are very pretty and the scenery is divine..but that is it.
  • Mod

    Love the last line of this article. The end of the video was funny, though.

  • Great way to get a lot of people to buy the game.

  • Weird for sure!  Penelope Crúz is beautiful and should not dress in a Mario costume.

  • What is it with Cruz and mustaches?

  • ...ok.

  • new? i feel like ive seen this already
