Smash Bros. 64 Commercial
Super Smash Bros. has become one of Nintendo’s best selling IPs throughout the years, and it isn’t hard to see why. It’s basically every Nintendo fan’s dream, watching their favorite mascots and characters duke it out in some of the most iconic locations in video game history. However, you have to remember that the series is quite dated, especially since the first game launched on the Nintendo 64. Back then, we didn’t have the stunning graphics we have today for those thrilling trailers, such as the teaser for Smash Switch.
So what did Nintendo do to advertise? Simple. Have your favorite characters peacefully strolling through a park until Mario decides to up and kick Yoshi (as if the poor dinosaur hasn’t suffered enough). Then the group decides to have a free-for-all, with Donkey Kong swinging Pikachu by the legs and Yoshi beating Mario. It started out with a kick, how did it end up like this?
