Author Topic: Mario Visits Canada, Graces National Hockey League (Read 8616 times)

In honor of the release of the Nintendo Wii's first official NHL/NHLPA licensed hockey video game (NHL 2K9, from 2K Sports), our main man Mario is taking a trip to Toronto. He'll be available for picture opportunities on the red carpet at Elgin Theatre, 6:15 p.m. ET, during the 2008 NHL Awards.

It seems like a rather unreasonable ploy to sell another iteration of another sport simulator, but you've got to admit, those official Mario costumes are pretty good.

I wonder how many Canadians there are here. Im Canadian, but I live in Alberta not Ontario. Probably will be on TV I hope.

With apologies for Kotaku for using their image, here's the official Mario costume I mentioned. He looks rather... sell-out-like holding such a non-Mario game.

Is Mario going to be in that game now? But whatever I dont care about hockey. Im not a sports person.

I never play sports games. Why imitate in a game what you can already play in real life?

Canadian is spelled C-A-N-A-D-I-A-N, not, C-A-N-A-D-E-A-N.

The guy from Lois and Clark is D-E-A-N-C-A-I-N, not C-A-N-A-D-E-A-N.
