Mario shows up at Rio 2016 Closing Ceremony

The coolest thing is that the Japan Prime Minister came in dressed as Mario lol


That presentation was Persona 5 as fuck, and I loved every single second of it

If you mean Persona as in being Japanese? Then yeah, you're right.

Also, Doraemon is huge. That thing is being dubbed in like every language.

Guess I'm out of the loop apparently

As far as I know Doraemon isn't that big in America, it's on Disney XD it can't be doing that well lol
 
Well, I guess we know where Nintendo's global marketing budget disappeared to. Can't have been cheap to get Mario in the Rio closing ceremony, or to make Abe sacrifice is dignity like that.

Still, I can't help but think this was money wasted on Nintendo's part. Since Nintendo doesn't have any products to promote at this point. Four years is a long time, should the NX fail there might not even be a Nintendo left to boast by the time of the opening ceremony in Tokyo.
 
Mario, Doraemon, Captain Tsubasa, Pikachu, Goku, Sakuragi Hanamichi will all show up one way or another in 2020 Olympics. Can't wait.
