Ad for Spirit Tracks a lot fresher than the game

Lots of clever Zelda touches in this subway ad, but the reviews of Spirit Tracks make it sound like just another slight revision of the game we've already played many times before, with the main difference being that you have to endure boring travel on a train instead of boring travel on a boat. At least the ridiculously annoying timed-dungeon has been eliminated this time around.

*Previously: Flooded subway tunnel ad more interesting than 2012.

Lemony Snicket gives holiday advice. For example:

Dear Mr. Snicket: Why does it always have to be coal? Why shouldn't a concerned parent give their ill-behaved youngsters something more accessible for modern times, say, a stick of firewood or a dried lump of mud?
--Woody

Dear Woody: Under enough pressure, a lump of coal may eventually become a diamond, but a stick of firewood, in the hands of an ill-behaved youngster under pressure from a concerned parent, invariably becomes a prop in a nice rousing game of Joan of Arc. Does anyone smell something burning?
