Nintendo seems to be going all out for the Japanese release of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. The Japanese website Game Watch was on site during the filming of the game's commercial. The promo, which stars three very good looking Japanese girls, takes place in the Mini-Mario toy factory. The girls, who are dressed up like the denizens of the mushroom kingdom, are showing off the amazing new toy. The commercial was shot against a green screen so there is sure to be more going on in the background once it airs. Babelfish's loose translation seems to imply that it will be airing alongside a few big shows starting May 29th. You can find Game Watch's original article, which features more pictures of the toy and the toadstool triplets right here.
Oh, and check out the Japanese box art for the game. It's designed to look like the packaging that old Japanese tin-toys used to come in way back in the 1950s.
Thanks to Game Watch for the photo and brandonnn at the Gaming-Age Forums for the box art info!

(now if MvD came out in Europe any time soon I'd be happy, but no! NoE has to delay it until Q4...)
I wonder if they're putting in mini marios for preorders?

And why is that very long camera pointing directly at the red chick's chest in one of those pics? Well there's obviously a good reason for it to do that but why is such a shot needed for the commercial?

The red one's boobs are surprisingly large for an asian chick. I'm just saying.
It's her posture. Her back is arched. It also makes her stomach look flatter.

You might have noticed it by now, since the commercial's up, but Mario jumps out of her shirt. I guess that sort of answers the question (while bringing up another one).

Man, if just the mushroom people looked like that in the Mario games...
Only Princess Peach is perfect enough to be beautiful! All others are ordinary! Ordinary, I say! Any attempts to improve their appearance would only make it harder for the artists to convey Peach's limitless perfection.
