This blog commercial break is brought you by the folks at Wario Land. Check out their video Shake It. It is very clever. When I first saw the mild cartoon violence rating, I was like ‘uh oh’. Seems my intuition was right on! It’s very fun…enjoy!

I know Mike.
It’s very cool. I am surprised I have not seen more ‘innovative’ and ‘creative’ uses of online marketing & media similar to this. I know the tools and the technology exists. So hopefully this is just the beginning.

Wow this is so amazing! I didn’t even realize that it had went to a new page. Very impressive.
Mario Brothers is such a great game. I think it is splendidly written and along with the nostalgia that it brings it is so fun to play. So many people’s first video game was Mario Bros. Mine was actually pacman, but it is still one of the very firsts that I played. Seeing those levels really bring back memories.

Ha, ha, it is a great advert isn’t it?
As a stereotypical Gen X’er, I used to rock Pacman, Ms. Pacman Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Frogger and Pong on the Atari as well. Boy oh boy, those were those days. If only I could go back to those simpler times.

HAHA! I agree! Life was simpler when there was only atari, eh? Let’s put it this way, life was cheaper!
It is a blast to look at old video games and then you realize how those things strangely become a part of your life and bring back memories!
