Sometimes, you must go back to go forward. Nintendo apparently took that to heart when promoting the upcoming Switch 2, as the company has brought back Ant-Man star Paul Rudd for a new commercial for the hybrid system. Rudd originally appeared in a 1991 TV ad for SNES before he was a household name and Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero.
Nintendo shared the Switch 2 launch commercial–called Now You’re Playing Together–on YouTube. It’s a riff on the 1991 SNES commercial starring Rudd that ended with, “Now you’re playing with power. Super Power.” In fact, GameSpot has highlighted how Nintendo has, in a way, remastered the SNES ad for Switch 2, which can be seen below from Instagram.
Rudd sports the same outfit in the new Switch 2 ad, which spurs actor Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Wet Hot American Summer) to ask: “Why are you dressed like you’re in a boy band?” The commercial puts a major focus on GameChat, the system’s social hub that allows for voice and video chat.
