The first time I've seen this - could be a first time for you too - watch until the middle to see stuff happening. Quite cool indeed.
Thanks to Jason at Lucasfilm for sending this in.

      Heheh, same here ^^;; I remember playing Wario Land on the Game Boy and it was awesome. Maybe I should buy a Wii console after all. The game looks very promising!!

        Buy one and you'll become like the millions of other gamers - myself included - who deeply regret buying a Wii. That's my opinion though, as well as many on the forums I attend.

          I'm sure nintendo will release another "good" game sometime after year 2020. Or you could just hit yourself in the head till you enough brain damage to completely forget playing Zelda, AND ENJOY PLAYING IT AGAIN !

            Only real reason I still got my Wii is for that "TRUE" Zelda Wii title. I get the feeling if I sold off my Wii and found out a Zelda title was coming out, I'd seriously hate myself. ^^; I just hope they don't "casual"ify it.

              I bought my Wii on launch day, and I love it. I also own a ps3 and a 360, and my Wii library is about twice the size of my ps3/360 libraries combined (no joke). It just happens to have more games that I enjoy. And I'm even a self proclaimed graphics whore.

    As the video progresses firebug kept reporting errors, divs kept getting dropped in the DOM. There is an event tracker that follows the video.

    Example, 16-18 seconds the screen shakes. You can repeat that as many times as you want even after the related tags have been dropped.

    The flash in the background eventually replaces the whole page with nice animations you can play with(drag around the text and stuff). Love it~

    So I started the video and had to step away from the computer for a while to help someone (video was on mute) so when I came back to the computer and looked at the screen I was like WTF!!!!1111!!1 Had to reload the page to see what happened and yeah that was pretty cool.

    That was a pleasant surprise ;) It took me a moment to fully understand what was going on, as I was totally zoned in on the video screen. I think I'd like a TV set that bobbles around and pops its buttons out while I play my video games. Well... only if it puts itself back together again once it's done.

    ...*applause* There is simply no other way to describe this other than awesome. It's difficult to be original with advertisment these days, online ones in particular, and that they managed to do so deserves recognition.

    And plus, it obviously works through word of mouth. Danny showed it to us, and I'm going to show this to people now, and I'm pretty sure neither would've happened if it was a conventional trailer, no matter how good a video it was.

    LOL. That was a good one. I thought the site was broke or something ^^
    But I noticed something fishy at the start when some of the links that I clicked didn't work.
