The tedious art of the unboxing video has been taken to extraordinary new highs, thanks to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata donning a pair of white gloves and showing the kids how to feign excitement about seeing a power supply unit and instruction manual.
Iwata expresses genuine joy and delight as he successfully removes the plastic from each component of Wii U and its associated power/stand/cabling accessories, holding each element up, triumphantly, for an extreme close-up when fully removed from the box.
His discovery of an HDMI cable at around the 4:00 mark seems to be a particularly exciting moment for Iwata, who holds it up for a good few seconds so we can enjoy it. It’s almost as if he wasn’t involved in the decision making process about whether to put one in the box for free or not. [YouTube via BGR]

Okay, now I love my gadgets as much if not more than the next geek but these unboxing videos always seem pointless to me. And now they went and got Mr Nintendo to do it.
It’s all about when you peel off the plastic film from the product.
Best unboxing ever!
I haven’t seen a power brick that huge since the 90′s.
Did you miss the xbox 360 ?

I haven’t played on a console since the first playstation. So yes, I did miss the xbox 360.
Nintendo sure love their power bricks. Even the gamepad has one!
I loved unboxing my original PS3 and the original iPhone, since them nothing has been the same.
Providing you’re not buying HDMI at Comet (lol) they’re about £1 each at the pound shop! Even cheaper online!!
Hmmmm, I wonder what the gloves are for….? Greasy finger mark problems anyone…?
No, he did it just so he could make the mario joke.
Was it me, or what the power cable packaged weird?…
Love that it’s PEGI 7.
