Weekly Infomercial available for viewing on the Wii's Nintendo Channel service. Running between nine and fifteen minutes, it intersperses comedy skits with product plugs for the latest releases on the Wii, Nintendo DS, and Virtual Console.
Characters:
- Allison: The female presenter. White female 20-something. 2/2/12 was her last show.
- Gary: The male presenter. White male 20-something. 3/29/12 was his last show.
- Dark Gary: Gary's Evil Twin and resident Harmless Villain. His acts of infamy usually revolve around stealing Allison's lunch from the fridge.
- Dark Allison: Allison's Evil Twin. Rarely gets airtime.
- Plus a generic wizard, a zombie, a ninja, and a guy in a chicken suit.
Tropes used in Nintendo Week include:
- Catch Phrase: Whenever Dark Gary's around.
- Allison: "Oh, Dark Gary!"
- Dark Gary: "Whatever, Bro."
- Chair Reveal: in 1/12 2012 show, with Dark Gary
- Defictionalization: Gary and Dark Gary have posted their own Flipnotes, both of which have been seen on the show.
- Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: in 10/06 2011 episode, Dark Gary slipped and accidentally said "I love you, Alison".
- Evil Twin: Dark Gary and Dark Allison.
- Beard of Evil: It's a fake.

- How We Got Here: plot of May 3 2010 episode.
- Infomercial: Obviously.
- Old Shame: The possibly Crowning Moment of Funny episode (Although YMMV), 3/1 has since been taken down from the archives. [1]
- Shout Out: In 4/12, their teacher has them get up on his desk and makes a speech, culminating in shouts of "carpe play 'em"! This calls back to The Dead Poets Society, in which Robin Williams did the same for his class (his phrase was "carpe diem", though).

- Platonic Life Partners: Gary and Allison (in the show) go way, way back doing everything together.
