I'm actually legitimately surprised Diddy is in that ad. Samus to a lesser extent.
I mean, Diddy Kong, the character who wasn't even created by Nintendo, is there. That's just... Wow... And it makes me very happy.
And Samus, 'cause, you know, the franchise hasn't really done anything recently on top of it not being as popular in Japan as it is in many other places.
I would be surprised by Pikachu... If it wasn't Pikachu.
Nintendo treating Pikachu like it treats Mario and Link is surprising since they've never really done that, but is also very smart to start doing so because it's freakin' Pikachu.
