  • Luigi’s Habit Of Falling Asleep Anywhere Is Starting To Get Dangerous

    For three videos now, Nintendo has made light of Luigi’s apparent narcolepsy. Sure, it may be a main gameplay mechanic in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, but it’s still a dangerous condition. The latest video advertising the game doesn’t do anything to address any health problems that Luigi may have.

    In the latest, and what appears to be last, video, Mario and Luigi are hanging out by the pool. Luigi hops in only to fall asleep on a floating pool raft. That could be dangerous. Does Mario try to save his brother though? Of course not. Mario instead opts for the dream world instead of staying behind to ensure his brother remains safe. It may be the year of Luigi, but Mario apparently still doesn’t respect his own flesh and blood.

    All joking aside, this video series has been a wonderful look into the kind of world Nintendo might create if it kept on making live action ads like this. I can only hope that ads for Super Mario 3D World feature a live action Mario wearing a cat suit.

  • Mario & Luigi Embrace Their Italian Heritage In The Latest Dream Team Trailer

    If you frequent Internet culture, you would know that Luigi is a pretty big fan of spaghetti. Nintendo has downplayed Mario and Luigi’s Italian heritage in recent years, but it’s making a comeback in the latest ads for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

    In the latest adventure, Mario and Luigi are cooking up some spaghetti at a resort. The big reveal is that Luigi prefers his paste al dente. Beyond his culinary preferences, we also learn that Luigi is apparently a narcoleptic.

    The ads for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team continue to be absolutely delightful. The above might be the best one yet for its bold and frank discussion of Italian archetypes.

  • Nintendo Continues To Advertise Mario & Luigi: Dream Team In The Best Way Possible

    I love Nintendo’s silly live-action ads. I like to think that most kids who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s love them as well. There was a time when Nintendo didn’t make many of them, but the silly live-action ads of yesteryear are finally making a comeback.

    Last week, Nintendo revealed the first TV ad for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and it was incredibly silly. It’s latest ad campaign for the title features the same live-action antics of before, but now it’s tied into a contest to win a 3DS XL and a copy of the game.

    While I do appreciate the use of people dressed in costume, I would absolutely love to see a return to what we got in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Unfortunately, Lou Albano is no longer around to play Mario, but I’m sure Nintendo could find a suitable replacement.

  • Check Out This Silly Mario & Luigi: Dream Team TV Ad

    Back in the N64 and Gamecube days, Nintendo was known for imaginative, and oftentimes silly, TV ads. That all stopped once the DS and Wii came out as Nintendo opted for ads showing families having fun together instead. For its latest 3DS games, Nintendo has tapped into the fun loving ads of yesteryear.

    Nintendo recently shared the TV ad for the upcoming Mario & Luigi: Dream Team for Nintendo 3DS. The main hook of this particular title is that much of the game takes place within Luigi’s dreams where he has enormous power. The ad somewhat touches upon that, but it’s more or less just an excuse for somebody to dress up in a big Luigi costume. We haven’t seen these kind of ads since Super Mario Sunshine, and it’s great.

    Of course, TV ads don’t really give you a feel for the gameplay. If you want to see more of that, check out the trailer Nintendo shared during its surprise Nintendo Direct last week.
