The Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase is officially over. After (no doubt) careful consideration of all the finalists, it has come down to one. The winner is Jack Paccione's Good vs. Wiivil, a short film about a waggle fight over an Everyman's very soul.
Paccione will win $10,000, a trip to New York, a screening of his film at the Tribeca Drive-In Short Film Series, as well as a Wii, a DS, and a bunch of games for both. Perhaps most impressively, he's earned a spot for his video after the break of this very post.
Congratulations to the Short Cuts winner

Well played - but Punch-Out should have won. Perhaps it was in a class of its own? Perhaps Nintendo was solely looking for something that would do the viral marketing for them (in this case, the wii), rather than nostalgia.
No future Nintendo plans for Punch-Out (yet) = No win for Team Awesome.

Out of the final 10 it was the best. It is BS that half those entries made it there, and punch out did not. I cannot imagine why, other than sheer lack of good taste.
Well played Wiivil man, well played.

I personally didn't like the Punch-Out one, but i've always hated the Rocky Movies, so that's probably why
The viral marketing stance does seem to lend a good reason as to why this one won, it definitely wasn't the best one there, but did do the best job portraying the Wii

I'm still pissed off, about 7 of the top 10 were pathetic (this opinion based off of the quality of my video) and also, there were others that were far better than Wiivil one...grrr!!
