I'm posting this for Chad. Why? Because he was unable to do it thanks to the fact that he's weeping under his desk with years and years of Mario love (and a massive amount of Mario Galaxy love) flowing out of his eyes. If every person on earth hadn't already purchased Mario Galaxy I would say that this fan-made ad for it would do the trick. Yea, the game is older than anything, but now is the time to check it out again thanks to the sequel hopefully landing this year.
Now, I'm a manly guy so I didn't cry at all. Those wet spots on my keyboard are actually bits of clear blood from an vicious alien I killed... with my bare hands... actually, just my pinky finger. That's right I killed a clear blooded alien with my pinky finger. No way was I crying.
I remember seeing this vid on Youtube a few months ago. If there was any proof that you can make something breathtaking out of something designated to pure fun like Mario, this is it. Ninty should really hire this guy for E3.

It is Sigur Ros. The song is called Hoppiěpolla.
That was beautiful. I just bought the original mario bros on VC. I think I'll go play SMB, SMB3 and Galaxy till I no longer feel ashamed of myself for not playing them enough.
I've only spent 76 hours on Galaxy! THAT'S NOT ENOUGH DAMMIT!
I didn't have tears streaming down my face, but a few tears were coming out. It proves that almost anything can make you cry with the right song backing it up.
As a Genesis kid, after watching this I thought about doing a Sonic version. But then I realized it would just be Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles clips. Damn you Sonic Team.

I don't know what sort of sick place you come from where ruining everyone else's childhood is the norm so I decided to cover all of my bases.
@Indigo Dingo. Tell us good sir. What game series should we be getting nostalgic about instead? If its anything like Halo i will punch you in the cunt :-)
this video makes me smile and think about all the nice experiences i had growing up with mario, and then it makes me angry with rage when i think about all the stupid experiences todays children have growing up with all the cashcow mario games.
NOBODY IS WAKING UP AT 5 AM ON A SATURDAY TO PLAY MARIO AND SONIC OLYMPICS, NINTENDO.
Noticeable absence of SMB2. I know it might not be a true Mario game, but when I was a kid, I knew it as Mario 2. It didn't matter to me what it was in other countries. So regardless of how authentic SMB2 was as part of the franchise, as far as my childhood memories are concerned, it is as much a part of the series as any other was.
Also, please don't feed the eight year old trolls.
Simply beautiful.
So many good memories playing these games. I wasn't actually expecting to get emotional from this. The song had a lot to do with that.
Nintendo, you should have made this you're announcement trailer for Galaxy. That would have been so great.
Wow, that was a beautiful vid. I wonder if Nintendo are going to hit that guy up for a nostalgic SMB Galaxy 2 in a similar vein. If only as a webvertisement Nintendo should totally do it. Probably the best game advertisement I've ever seen.
literally brought a tear to my eye, but for more reasons than just Mario. my grandma died last year, and she loved Mario, and I beat Mario Galaxy for her while she was on her deathbed...so the game always makes me think of her.
that's a good thing, though. this was adorable and awesome.
This is def an amazing game, just proof that an old character can evolve overtime. My tear ducts must not be functioning properly... just beautiful.
Also, dont rag on Indigo Dingo. Because he is obviously a sony fanboy, beating off to graphics and polyrendering, he cannot become enamored by the emotion and nostalgia we feel for our childhoods and Mario.
That...was beautiful. 15+ years of my childhod packed into one great video. The memories I've had with the plumber have been amazing and that video summed it all up quite nicely.
Also, don't feed trolls like Indigo Dingo. Guys like him are clearly fanboys who are bitter because they went through their entire childhoods without experiencing the fun and joy of playing a Mario game.

Typically, when it comes to videogame ads at least, actors don't usually do a good job of promoting a game. That's not the case here with these SimCity ads, thankfully. Actor Adam Devine of Workaholics fame did a few promos for the game and they're all pretty funny. Fancy that.
