Pokemon + Nobunaga commercials for your face, boyee!

59 minutes ago - 4:00 AM on 02.17.2012   |   Tony Ponce


The greatest media crossover since Who Framed Roger Rabbit is exactly one month away from its Japanese release. Let the onslaught of television commercials begin!

Above is a 30-second spot for Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, and after the jump is an abridged 15-second spot. I can't make heads or tails of what's being said, but I imagine it's something along the lines of, "Damn, son! I can't believe this is for real! Sheeeeeiiiit!"

The Nintendo-Tecmo Koei team-up for DS still hasn't been announced for Western territories, but I'm crossing my fingers so hard, you don't even know.

Before long, I think you'll find yourself enamored with her wit and insights just as I am.

We would like to... watch Hulu Plus on the Wii? Um, no, not really. All the same, now you can. The subscription-based TV streaming service, previously promised as an end-of-2011 release on the Wii, is available for download.

Users will have to pay the monthly Hulu Plus fee of $7.99 for the content, but like the Xbox 360 deal of last year, those who sign up through their console will get a two-week free trial. Head over to your Wii now to begin the process of watching beautiful HD television downgraded to garbage through the magic of your six-year-old Nintendo console.
