Nintendo Switch 2 Ad Brings Back Paul Rudd To “Play With Power” Together

By Todd BlackApril 20, 2025
Nintendo Switch 2, Take-Two Interactive, Paul Rudd

There are “cursed things” in this world, ladies and gentlemen, and there are questions that we surely will never get the answers to. One of those questions is how actor Paul Rudd never seems to age…ever. He’s been around a LOT and has cursed us, I mean, “blessed us” with his various movie and TV roles. Yet, ironically, one of the most memorable things he did was an iconic 1990s SNES commercial for Nintendo. Fast forward to 2025, and he’s back for a new ad for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Yes. Really. You can watch it below as he enjoys “playing together” with others on Mario Kart World. It features the Nintendo Switch 2, its new camera, GameChat system, and more.

And if you want a comparison to how it was in the 1990s versus now, here’s a comparison straight from Blue Sky:

Nintendo and Paul Rudd have a history of launching systems together. So, 3 decades later, we’re getting together again. SUPER TOGETHER. #NintendoSwitch2
