[killerdugong]

[Etkar2008]

Why the hell is MARIO shouting ''Mario, where are you?''. What, did he forget he was Mario or what?

[TheSuperGamerDude713]

So this is the only Mario game on a nonTindo console right

[HIGH777ROLLER]

Mario is looking for himself...this is deep...

[thecomputerwhiz1]

Pause at 0:15. Luigi looks hilarious!

[mm4570]

what happened to the quality? its a good commercial btw

[Random90sKid]

"From Atari"?

...Really? Couldn't Nintendo stand up for themselves at that time?

[SuperCartiel]

@Random90sKid Not until Yamauchi-dono came over and read them the Riot Act. When he found out that Atari was going to bury the Famicon, he went berserk. He came to Atari and let them have it full-bore. After that, Nintendo grabbed their invention back, and, thus, the NES was born.

[pokemomspriter1]

5200 you mean

[nelsonr12]

mario not mary-o 

[IMZEECATMAN]

@nelsonr12 most people call it mario. but surprisingly of people call it mary-o. its weird how debatable marios name is, lol alot

[TheMrEMeat]

I just played this on 2600 its an absolute pos, but thats the 5200 or 7800 version those graphics are too advanced for the VCS.

[kingbrandus111]

It's sort of funny when you think about it. The NES is what brought down the 2600.

[LuwiigiMaster]

@kingbrandus111 Actually, Atari brought the 2600 down. Nintendo had to call their console as an "Entertainment System" due to the negative connotations of the words "Video Game" caused by Atari.  Nintendo didn't even expect the NES to sell as much as it did.

[MrKilroy138]

I think the plumber in the commercial is just a regular plumber and not mario. He is probally taking a coffee break with Luigi.

[F6104906]

..............fucking hell

[rafaelpmmaximus]

I think you are correct because Atari 2600 doesn't have that image!!!

[howzeman]

"...and lots of crazy creatures!" ...lol xD

[katakisLives]

Mario on a non Nintendo console! You'll never see that again!!!

[TheDevilbuster]

Why do they pronounce it "Mary-O", anyway?

[LockHoodlum]

I am confused:

Pac-Man (an all sequels) were clearly branded by Namco, tough they have been published on the 2600. Donkey Kong & Mario Bros. 80's arcade systems were branded by Nintendo, while on the 2600 they are branded by Atari...

what's going on, did Atari publish Mario Bros. on 2600, or did Nintendo do it?

[boardwalkman]

This is WAAAY different from the one that Nintendo produced, which Is waaay more famous.

[LockHoodlum]

Dude... got to 0:14 pause the video and look at the copyright info... This game is owned by Nintendo :) (Just figured that one out while watching the video again)

[christo930]

@LockHoodlum

Atari bought the license for the game and then ported the game themselves to the machine. Donkey Kong was licensed to Coleco who published it for the colecovision and the 2600.

Back then, Nintendo didn't want to make home video games. They offered Atari the chance to market the NES in America and in the worst decision in the history of consumer electronics, Atari turned them down.

[CapnTac]

Lol.

[Zorafan206]

Who owns Atari now?

[luvtehcomix]

did they call him a Puerto Rican?

[Zeldarulah]

I swear it sounds like it says "It's the Maary Mary-O Brothers!"

[djmips]

It's the 'Atari' Mario Brothers.

[Zeldarulah]

Hence me saying it sounds like.

[synaps555]

that s not 2600 is it?

[videogameknowitall]

Most likily not...The graphics that they show in that commercial are most likily Atari 5200 or Colecovision.

Third party publishers in the early 1980's had a tendancy to use the system with the best graphics.

[Valis77]

DUDE THE MUSIC! LOL! i can't stop laughing and plus the guy whats his name playing mario? Is he still around?

[jro81]

If you watched the old Nick at Nite, you would probably recocnize the tune as a bastardized version of "Car 54 where are you?"

[Valis77]

Too bad i missed it.

[pimper30]

that guy who said mario were are you... i think hes dead =P

[greekwolf]

haha who is Mary-O?

[DJVinneh]

MARIO... Where are YOU...?

[scherzox]

Yeah, that had to be the 5200 version. The one for 2600 had lots of flickering

[raredvdworldwide]

Whoa! The music is the exact theme to the old 60's TV show "Car 54, Where Are You?" only with new lyrics! Geez, they couyldn't even come up with a new song lol. I love the 'ol 2600 :).

[bnemesis]

Mario from donkey kong?

[skipbreakfast]

Is that a question?

[Starxxon]

This is the Atari 5200 version shown in this commercial, the 2600 version of Mario Bros. was 50x more crappier, I know, I've played it.

The Atari 2600 was not able to pull out graphics like that.

[Msdos4]

the annoncer pronounced Mario wrong.

[MVillani1985]

That shows how early in the history of Mario this game is.

[VicTimProductions]

Wow, That was actually a Very entertaining commercial! me and my friends gathered around the computer and laughed at luigi signign his little " mario where are you?" song.

Vicci GTS

[Msdos4]

Your right! I never thought of that, because we all know Atari 2600 was way out before the NES

[videogameknowitall]

This was the first home version of Mario Bros., not the NES like many people think.
