Nintendo has released a new commercial for their popular Nintendo 2DS, and it's an effective one.

The ad shows kids in a variety of summery settings (a picnic, a beach etc.), playing a few select titles from the console's immense library, such as Pokemon X and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

The ad forgets to mention that the 2DS won't come with a gaggle of gaming friends your age or a host of opportune moments to play together and create precious summertime memories but seems appealing nonetheless. Thus is the power of good advertising. Check it out below.
