Turn and face the training

Nintendo has added three new Face Training commercials to their official site; thankfully, the new commercials are all relaxing and enjoyable and not loaded with unintentionally nightmarish visuals.

Nintendo is lucky (or smart) for making a game that requires players to contort their faces during normal play in a way that looks just like awe. They can just show that instead of having actors make such stunned. It quietly reinforces the message of all ad campaigns that "hey, our product is great." Similarly, one commercial demonstrates the "I am intrigued about your product, and seek more information, perhaps from your website" eyebrow-lift/squint combo.
