So dreamy, so poignant, so handsome.

Had he lead the E3's of the past, I would have dropped the 600 day one.

if I had ever seen that commercial, I would have never bought with that game.

Ditto. To be fair, though, that commercial is just as bad as the game it advertises. Not much to work with.

Oh man, thank you sir. You just made my day. Can't believe I missed that back in the day.

We need a Macros pic for that commercial.

CLEAN IS BETTER THEN DIRTY
We basically destroyed Mario Sunshine's sales single-handedly

Its funny b/c I fell out of gaming for awhile when that game came out, and when I saw it at a Best Buy kiosk upon release, I was like, "WTF, why would I want to run around cleaning up dirt in a Mario game? Pass." That ad would have only confirmed my quick generalization.

That commercial really went over bad with people. I remember thinking to myself, "how can I argue my way out of this, during my next console debate?".

My friends would say, "tell me your not getting Mario Sunshine". Oh man, why oh why did Nintendo make the commercial that way?

Oh and Reggie would kill that PS3 guy no problem. I bet he could smother him with his thick manly ethnic hair! Kinda like my hair.

I can't believe how harsh some people are on Mario Sunshine. Yeah, that commercial was terrible, but it was still a solid game. Oh well, I guess it just goes to show why Nintendo can never try anything different with their established franchises.

Well for the people that didn't know anything about the game and thought it was all about cleanup, it made it a bit confusing

They did. It's called Super Mario Galaxy and it was in development for more then a year.

Actually, my problem with Mario Sunshine wasn't that it dared to do different things, but that it was an utterly boring game. In fact, some of my problems with Sunshine carried over into Galaxy: the same goddamn "start from a hub world, select a world, select a star, get a star, return to the hub, select a world, select a star" progression that was acceptable in Mario 64 only because it was the first game of its kind to try it. Throw in the complete removal of the exploration aspect of Mario 64 (where you could select one star and end up with a completely different one), the monotony of every "world" having the same tropical theme, the utterly pointless and poorly-implemented addition of Yoshi, the lame story, and the entire creation of Bowser Jr. and you have a game I just loathe. I've said before that FLUDD was not my main problem with the game, and in fact could have worked if the rest of the game wasn't so mundane.

The dude in the Sony commercial has been doing all types of ads for years - GEICO, among others. He has nothing to do with Sony, besides being in their latest commercials.

Really? That sucks. I assumed he was in all their meetings and everything and just happened to be a decent actor.

It is a chore, you're a fucking janitor in the game for Christ's sake.

Sony should get those Geico cavemen to do some commercials for them.

"PS3, its now so cheap that even a caveman can afford it!"

That's different. I don't think it is fair to call it a bad game just because it didn't suit your tastes. And you seem to dislike a lot of Nintendo's games...

Actually, I dislike very few Nintendo games, but those that I do hate I really hate. What you take for "dislike" is more like indifference or impatience, Nintendo wasting their time and talent on those games below what they're capable of.

That sounded more like you just said they are wasting their time if they create a game that doesn't suit your taste, but oh well.

Realize this is a problem Nintendo faces with the Zelda fanbase.

They can never win, no matter how awesome they make their games.
