Fanmade Ad Takes Nintendo Switch Skydiving
The original trailer for the Nintendo Switch did what it needed to: It showed off all the potential uses of the system and made it look like a cool, social little handheld. But it didn't take the thing Skydiving, which is a shame.
Youtube channel Юзя (pronounced "Juzik") has rectified the problem. In a fanmade ad highlight various configurations of the system (via Kotaku), the Switch travels everywhere (inside of Moscow, Russia, where the ad was filmed), including aboard a diving, and in the sky. The ad is also set to a pretty nice Donkey Kong Country remix and uses sound from those games instead of dialogue, making the ad even better by making it more globally appealing. You can watch the ad below.
