Nintendo taps Wayne Brady for new Wii U commercials

Nintendo has brought on comedian Wayne Brady (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) for a series of new Wii Party U commercials released today on YouTube.

Check out all three videos below. It is not clear if Nintendo plans to release the commercials on traditional TV.

Wii Party U was released last week exclusively for Wii U. The multiplayer-focused game features more than 80 minigames and is a sequel to 2010 Wii game Wii Party.

Nintendo has worked with various celebrities in the past for marketing campaigns. The company brought on actor Robin Williams, whose daughter is named Zelda, for a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D commercial. In addition, Nintendo worked with singer Beyonce Knowles to promote Nintendo DS game Rhythm Heaven.
