[wmlk]

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.

 

[professor denim]

But Mario is Italian?

🤔

And his cap should say Kyoto not Tokyo

 

[Dante316]

[vinnygambini]

To be fair at least in Brasil Mario is the biggest know video game character.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lmao, Its doraemon dude!

 

[RowdyReverb]

I can't believe I just saw Japan's PM come out of a green pipe on a world stage.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I wonder what Miyamoto thinks of this

I would be surprised if he doesn't just show up at the opening ceremonies playing a banjo to start the festivities.

 

[mdubs]

Bloodborne was robbed

 

[I-hate-u]

Tokyo Olympics already better than Rio's.

 

[Majine]

Y'all mad Nintendo don't do stage shows anymore? They just made the biggest.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Sega technically started in America.

Yup, started 1940 in Hawaii (then only a U.S. territory) by three American businessmen.

 

[Hayama Akito]

And people say Nintendo is dead

 

[Ivan 3414]

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

 

[friskykillface]

Nintendo X Sony X SONIC X Olympics
& Knuckles

2020 hype

 

[Eliseo]

And people say Nintendo is dead

And nobody knows who the hell is Mario.

 

[thecouncil]

Nintendo won't even be around in 2020. Good to get the reference in while they could.

 

[Scrawnton]

That was pretty cool to watch. Nintendo has been looking good lately.

 

[sikkinixx]

How soon until they show the vending machines selling the women athlete's used bottoms?

 

[jordan0386]

wrong thread

 

[Majine]

I bet the olympics goes out of business before Nintendo does.

 

[?oe?oe]

He should have been holding a copy of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.

 

[Oersted]

Nintendo X Sony X SONIC X Olympics
& Knuckles

2020 hype

Its gonna be Mario, Mario, Mario, Pikachu, Mario, Pikachu, Game Boy, Mario, Playstation, Mario.

And you gonna like it.

 

[Riposte]

Mario and Shinzo at the Olympics Games.

 

[LAM09]

Nice touch

 

[javac]

Super prominent too, super cool.

 

[Mercador]

Definitely want to be there in 2020

Funny you say that because you have Luigi as your avatar.

 

[georly]

That was kinda amazing. Nintendo was put front and center as a representation of japan. Cute.

These kind of posts define neogaf.

 

[Kintor]

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.

 

[I-hate-u]

Mario, Doraemon, Captain Tsubasa, Pikachu, Goku, Sakuragi Hanamichi will all show up one way or another in 2020 Olympics. Can't wait.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I really love that Nintendo has become almost an ambassador for Japan internationally.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Oh shit, Aya Bambi.

Probably part of the joke.
