Author Topic: The lame commercial for Mario and Sonic is out.  (Read 7949 times)

And I, for one, am not pleased. I get a strong 90s "Mario's old fashioned and Sonic's hip" vibe, akin to Sega's old commercials, from this. Bah, ah well.

I still like Mario better.
I'll think of a better signature later!

Aw, it's not that bad... they're just trying to show that it's not just a Mario olympics game. If anything, it just makes Sonic look like a pest.

In addition, is this some sort of internet-exclusive vid? 'Cause it's referred to as "viral", and it seems to me that Nintendo has been sticking with those "Wii would like to play" ads (which suck, but what can ya do).

Woah, Mario actually spoke an entire sentence.

I thought that video was pretty funny, but hopefully they'll have a better one for television.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I thought it was pretty funny, and I think I recognize that particular voice (Marios') from here:

I agree with Boo Dudley.  I though it was pretty funny.

This isn't the first time I heard Mario speak a complete sentence.  The first time was in a YouTube video with CGI Mario in E3.  He even gets censored!  XD

I've not seen the commercial yet (my computer's old, it hates streaming movies), but I'm going to trust the other posters with how good it apparently is. Sonic just MIGHT be being a pest.

I liked it.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Silly Sonic. Trying to be an attention (hedge)hog.
Fangirling over Luigi since 1999.

Hahaha.  This commercial reminds me of why I love the fact that Mario is Italian. 
Maybe there is more to me than there is to me...

I thought it was pretty funny. I'm quite surprised Mario is actually talking in the commercial.

Me: Why?
