It's hilarious, I hope they have those tracks in the actual game. Check out the other two videos in the OP.

Half the people think it's terrible, half seem to like it cause it's funny.
Clearly Nintendo was going for the Eternal Darkness crowd with this one.
It's cool in the same way "Everything is Awesome" was for The Lego Movie.

Ugh, too long. Becomes annoying. But one good thing, I have never seen a trailer where they explain the gameplay mechanics so thoroughly.
The lyrics should have been:
"You are old now, you are bald now, now you're old, now you're bald and you have tatoos. Cut up a ninja, get rammed by a big guy, shoot in face, shoot in ass, slice up fools now."

That would have worked, too.
Celebrities and real-life splatting contribute to concerted marketing A week ago we shared a TV commercial for Splatoon that had been released by North America, which replaced the funky tunes of the game with a new effort that featured some rather simplistic lyrics. It didn't go down well with everyone, but with a target audience of young gamers and - arguably - the Disney TV crowd, it made a good deal of sense. Since then two more of these TV commercials have been released. First up is "Squid Kid", below, which this writer doesn't feel is particularly catchy and, again, has pretty poor lyrics.
