Come on man....there are lots of other commercials that have lots of footage of it.

Amazing commercial although a bit disjointed. It was definitely made for shorter 30sec ads. I cannot stoploolinf at the dancing gifs!! That guy on the right of Mario is just out dancing the whole group besides Mario. He must have been the motion capture actor. I mean those hip and shoulder movements >_<

You guys are confusing "cringy" with "whimsical"

I love me some 3D Mario.
I don't like the big band music, I don't like the human world, I don't like the drab grey generic art style.
This commercial just focuses on all of that so I didn't like it.
I'm sure Odyssey will play like a dream, but that won't change the fact that I'm very disappointed with the art direction they've chosen. Yuk.

Drab grey generic art style? Really? Other than New Donk City, it's colourful and gorgeous with a unique style
Have you watched any footage outside of New Donk City? Drab, grey and generic are not the words I'd choose to describe this game's arrstyle.

Not all of it is ugly, you're right. The beach world, and the frozen desert world look fine. But a lot of the game looks bad, like Donk City, or the generic and shiny t-rex, or the jungle world under the trees that's so flat and monotone it reminds me of an environment for a N64 era shooter for some reason. Something is just off, like there's no unified art style and Nintendo often resorted to "stock" images to make the world.
Mario games are not a bastion of great art style. The "New" series is also pretty damn generic. But I'm just disappointed because I thought the Galaxy games were gorgeous.

Lol, it all looks incredible and quite varied from what we have seen. Even New Donk looks pretty good once you get over the clash.
The clashing styles etc are part of the game premise.

If you mean the giant trees with the spinning robots, the theme of that world is natural and artificial. They're in a man-made dome housing a fake environment.
Ill help you....buy it. Just do it. Life is too short for regrets. Switch is amazing. Buy it.
buy it

You see, I never cared much about 3D Marios. 3D platformers have never really been my jam either, I was almost shocked how much I enjoyed Yooka-Laylee. I played this game at Milan Games Week. It's fantastic, simply put, fantastic. Every time I see an ad, a gameplay video or something I can't do anything but smile about it. It's just so fun, and what made me simply amazed is how the game is basically unpredictable in how bonkers it is. I did not watch the whole E3 gameplay and such so I only knew bits and pieces of how the city and the desert area go down, but it's like every segment has something new, every area has some secret, every corner has something you couldn't predict. At first I thought I'd buy a Switch around Christmas, but at this point I'll likely pick one up in November. Kudos to Nintendo this gen: I never cared too much about Zelda but the new one looks right up my alley, and with 3D Marios not being my jam either, this one I'm really excited for. With the best Mario Kart ever made also on the console, this'll be good.

I'm so freaking excited for this game!
That being said, I get that the whole clashing art is a part of the "style" but that doesn't mean I can't wish they hadn't chosen to make it look like that in certain parts.
But that totally isn't going to stop me from loving the shit out of this game. Just... The look of New donk city isn't my preference. The gameplay looks sublime though and that's what's absolutely most important in a mario game.

Mario is an fictional character with an American Italian accent wearing Mexican garb voiced by a French descent and created by a Japanese person.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I mean, a commercial needs something to stick to so that you remember the product.
Orangina in the tail end of 2000's wouldn't be notorious if it weren't for the lewd furries they have.

This advert can sell anyone on the game. Been avoiding footage of this - and can see why.
This game is looking to be GOTY just from the footage alone. Zelda wont be beating this for me 😍 (although damn close).
This looks more fresh than anything Ive seen from a 3D Mario game. Even the Galaxy games.
Close to getting my pre-order in place.
Edit: and this is how you do lyrics in a platformer. No offence to other franchises - but this is the damnest most catchy gaming song Ive heard in 2017.

I can dig this.
Buy it online or stop caring what people think of your hobbies. That seems extreme.

Sounds like your "adult" friends have a pretty childish mindset (no quotation marks needed for childish, because it's meant as said).

Sounds extreme and really odd. Mario games are for everyone and are like the game equivalent of Pixar films.

This commercial is so charming. Everything about this game screams Let loose and have some fun!. Love seeing Nintendo continue to make things that are happy and full of glee, its so cute!
Freaking Nintendo man. I love when they do this with their songs.
So you think the gameplay footage won't get the mainstream excited? I really doubt that personally.
