Nintendo captured TV’s largest audience with a hugely successful first pitch to the casual market of the Nintendo Switch… Also, the Atlanta Falcons lost.

Nintendo and Super Bowl 51 brought Twitter to a halt right around the start of the 4th quarter with the new Nintendo Switch commercial. Nintendo Switch aired it’s big Super Bowl commercial live to the public before the 4th Quarter, and it had people really excited.

The commercial itself is pretty awesome. It shows off the primary feature of the Nintendo Switch really well. I mean, what more could you want besides waking up, playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, then plugging it in and playing it on your tv?

Now on to the reactions of the people!

This fan pulled out the classic #StayWoke. Do not sleep on the fact this commercial is pretty great:

Don't let the game distract you from the fact that the #NintendoSwitch had a bomb commercial #StayWoke — Zach Prouty (@TheRealZP3) February 6, 2017

As the youths will do. Someone somewhere had to use the phrase “lit” to describe the commercial.

This guy seems like he was just a little bit excited, but even with all that enthusiasm he is not as excited as this guy:

YES!!!! WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE NINTENDO SWITCH COMMERCIAL AD IN THE SUPERBOWL LIVE WITH YOU DUDES!!!!!!! EPIC!!! #nintendoswitch #SuperBowl — OBE1plays 100kBAEBAE (@OBE1plays) February 6, 2017

Some people may not have enjoyed the game or the outcome, but they certainly loved the Nintendo Switch commercial:

This guy seemed to not even care about the football game he was watching.

I sat through the sports all night for that Zelda commercial. It was worth! #nintendoswitch — The Munch @Twitchcon (@MunchingOrange) February 6, 2017

After the commercial, the game’s momentum seemed to “Switch.” The Patriots began to take over, and many people noticed as well. Sadly no one seemed to go so far as to photoshop Zelda as a Patriots fan:

Seems like the Super Bowl got really exciting again right after that sweet #NintendoSwitch commercial. Coincidence?! — Morgan Ritchie (@MorgRitchie) February 6, 2017

Game literally switched after the Switch commercial 💀 #SB51 — Nibel (@Nibellion) February 6, 2017

Even Michael Jordan was in on the idea:

Nintendo Switch ad aired. Then the game literally switched. — Michael Jordan (@Not_MJ) February 6, 2017

This guy was really close to putting the Zelda and Patriots connection together:

My personal favorite is this guy adding in the graphic as well:

*Falcons with an enormous lead*

*Nintendo Switch ad plays*

"Now let's switch to this"
