Wow, this lady was very informative. With in-depth details like "whips his tail" and "this suit", no wonder Nintendo made her a demo rep!
Seriously though, are you sure she wasn't a booth babe? Her lack of knowledge disturbs me...

Hey at least she knew that raccoon mario is different from tanuki mario!
I think she did a good job.

Sighh, on the one hand, yes, cute, likeable, etc.
On the other hand, it's a gaming expo presented to games journalists. I thought normal people weren't allowed in -_-'. Who is this pitch appealing to?

Cute. She sorta, kinda knew what she was talking about... Still, it was super cool to hear a cute girl talk over Holmes playing NSMB 2! So, did you land the digits, dude?! Hmmm...
Also, can't wait for this game! Raccoon Mario returns!

People saying she doesn't know anything but I think she might know more about it than Holmes because she said the Raccoon Mario and Tanooki Suit are completely different - which they are. Raccoon Suit is the one that just lets Mario fly - the Tanooki suit is the one that allows him to turn to stone.
She didn't say that but she sounded like she was going to say it to me at least.

She seemed to have a decent understanding of the basics of Super Mario and the main features of this particuarly title She has bubbly personality and that Mario hat for it anyway. Holmes knows how to handle games and ladies at the same time because he's a smooth operator.
I don't like her, she's really ....dunno, annoying. Grating.
The game's looking pretty sweet though, this needed way more gameplay and less banal chatter.

Ehh, she knew more than I'd expect a booth babe to know, but I think I'd get frustrated talking to her if I met her.
Funny that nobody defended previous people who also didn't show much knowledge about what they were demoing. Surely, the fact that this one is a "cute girl" has nothing to do with it.
Damn....can't see the video. Ah well...from the picture I can safely say I wouldn't go kicking her out of the bed for calling the tanooki suit a raccoon suit.
".. there is nothing not to like about this human being."
Well besides her "omg totally" personality.

@ SeymourDuncan17- What's not to like about a "omg totally" personality? I find it refreshingly positive.
@Jon
I just find it slightly irking.
A charming positive attitude to me is someone like you. She's positive, but also comes with an off-putting aftertaste. Something about her tone of voice, I guess.
Although it's much easier to judge when I'm not physically there in front of her making conversation and I'm not gonna necessarily hate her for how she comes off as. Just saying it's not super appealing.

dont worry jonathan i am not a bitter teenager who has never known love and therefore i appreciate this woman
Wow, nice to see where the writer/commenter priorities are at... is NSMB U that dull that we all need to debate an average looking booth girl?
I got to agree with @Syn on this one. she might be a bit ditsy sounding, but she managed to get out the best parts of the game in the short time, and even pressed Johnathan on to the next section, which might have been to coolest part of the demo.
Oh and I want to hug people too when they totally underestimate my age.
...but i realize that in general people are scared to guess anything over 30.... and i shouldn't be hugging strange women at videogame conferences.

They can see the cameras. It's not like a TV show or movie where the cameras aren't supposed to really be there.

Dear Jonathan Holmes,
Please keep your questionable taste in women who are too young for you off Dtoid's front page, kthx.

That chick knew a lot more than the Nintendo rep people at New York Comic Con last year. I remember getting my shit rocked by Ghirahim in Skyward Sword so I asked the rep for advice and she goes "Oh I dunno I never played it before." *headdesk*
@ Smackybutts- This has nothing to do with "taste in women". It's about recognizing a Nintendo employee who did a great job. Stop making everything about sex, kthx.

Would you care to point out any post at all that you've made about a male "human being" booth attendant who was "cute as a button" or "pleasant and likeable?" Stop being shameless, kthx.

She is cute as a button! and I think Jonathan was just trying to say something sweet about her because she tried hard and did a good job. Also I don't think all men would take being called cute as a button as a compliment... unless of course they were Jim Sterling. :P

"Wow... how old were you then? I bet you weren't even born."
Whilst I whole-heartedly applaud your flirting, might I suggest not sounding like Hugh Hefner?
