LOL. Just seen this on the Xbox site, Nintys this might be offensive towards you mario fans, but you gotta see the funny side of it!

Exactly gamezfreak. Have some of you even watched it to the end ? The whole point of it was the "Nintendo is for pansies" bit at the end.

It can still be viewed blank, my mate got it up earlier. I can probably send you the link if you want it.

Darn, you can't watch it any more. I missed it. I was looking forward to seeing a skit of Mario because I have the game and don't think it's all that brilliant. And no one in the Nintendo forum agrees with me - they all think it's called Sunshine because that's what they see coming out of his rear end. But if it's just "Lamecube" and other crap puns I'd rather not bother anyway. I'm sure we could have a whip-round for Microsoft so they could afford to pay someone to come up with better ideas.

What is funny is that Microsoft are taking the NOM approach.

Lamecube?

Sounds like NOM's branded insults: Greystation, Greystation Poo, Dreampants, etc.

I would have laughed if it was funny but come on Lame Cube? that's just so crap.

As Goatboy said, if it was Nintardo and Gaycube or even Gaypube then I would have laughed. It's not even like the video clip thing's funny, just a weird drawing of Mario and Kirby running along collecting fruit, I could think up better material than that. How about Mario going down a pipe and then going up Shigsy's pipe?

If they're gonna take the mick out of the opposition cause they obvioulsy feel threatned by the stupidly high sales figures Mario's getting then at least make it funny.

This reaction was so predictable from Ninties. ;-) The "amazing sense of humour" seems to do a runner when its the GC thats getting pasted in a joke.

Anyway, back to Quantum Redshift and Madden 2003. Wanna get some of the games done before I get NFL Fever 2003 and Timesplitters 2.

Gaycube.

I created that word on these very forums.
As well "Nintardo"

Microsoft should pay me to come up with better adverts

I find that funny in the sense that Microsft are perfetic enough to stoop to such low levels, the things not even funny, I mean Lamecube? come on guys can't you think of better material?

It's funny though it shows Microsoft feel threatned and realise how lacking their console really is, you don't see Nintendo or Sony stooping to such pathetic and immature levels.

If that's the official site then I laugh from my belly up at Bill and his gang of homosexual computer nerds.
