I loved this commercial! It looked awesome.
That moment where there's someone running and you see Mario's shadow in the wall, running alongside him, was a brilliant touch!
I was amazed that they filmed this in so many locations. Which, as some have said, probably has costed them some money.
I think that could be because it's part of a bigger marketing plan from Nintendo.
NES Mini, mobile game and these type of commercials are about bringing back memories and help expand their power to people who have obviously stop caring about Nintendo.
All of this - even the money spent - is for people to think about Nintendo again. And guess what, there's a new console coming that will have a new Mario game (likely at launch) and a Pokémon game too.
Money well spent, if you ask me, even if the full results will only be seen in the medium term.
