it time to read some nintendo 1992-1994 statements. they are smug too, they are companies after all.

play the games, nintendo right now just using a face to sell it's working for them.

though remenber nintendo/sony/microsoft its the idiot of top that do PR, but rather the work of thousands of workers/engineer that work for to make a successful product.

Haha... those were good times to be a fanboy. Kind of, you know an innocence to them.

Todays ads and commercialism, seems a bit more, I don't know, hitting below the belt. Oh well, still entertaining.

I don't think the ad is a sign of jealousy, I think they know their target audience; the people most likely to buy Blur are people who actually relate to the ad.

I don't really get that, why do people relate to making fun of kart racers?  If you simply don't have some hate for them you don't relate it's just whatever... they're poking fun at Mario Kart.  It'd a appeal to me more if they burned a hole in something like Need for Speed or Split Second and showed why they're better, cause at this point I want Split Second lol.

The Crash ad reminds me of the anti-tobacco commercials.
I thought the Blur one was pretty funny. I always explain it as Mario Kart, except with real cars.
To be fair though, that commercial is not ONLY making fun of Mario Kart, its making fun of pretty much any kart racer in existence.
I like Kevin Butler's hit on Natal, because that is the exact same example that I use.

Kevin Butler is awesome.

I still have the Star Fox 64 promo tape where the Sega and Sony guys tortured the Mario doll to get the Nintendo guy to talk about Star Fox 64 and why the N64 was better than their consoles.

Why did they stop making hilariously bizarre shit like this? Different era, I guess.

And Kevin Butler sucks.

"Many games from sports software leaders including EA Sports, Acclaim, Sony, Accolade, Tecmo"

Whoa!!! Sony made Games for Nintendo?

Dude! same here...lol..i havnt watched that in awhile..might have to dig that up.

Bottom line...sorta funny comercial...but really the fan base Blur wants to get is the crowd their making fun of...and to be honest the demo didnt impress me to give it another try. Id rather stick with MK...Not to mention how many units did MK Wii sell? how many will blur sell? yea...nintendo wins..

it actually looks better than blur :x
