Nintendo UK has this morning announced that, to mark today's release of the eagerly awaited Super Mario Sunshine in Europe, it has signed a one-year deal to sponsor the moustache of TV sports commentator Des Lynam.

Weird and amusing at the same time. From the biggest pasta bowl stunt to this, this is another reason why I like Nintendo more than Acclaim.

All the money went to the cool Samus suit.

I never heard of Des Lynam before... is he Italian AND British??

So did anyone happen to see the people that were supposed to be marching around with GC's strapped to them yet? At all?

Or did that just sorta fade into the mist...

The Nintendo Street Team?

I think someone's friend made the final cut or something...

The Hell he does!

Actually, Morimoto, until recently, was my favorite Iron Chef (and the fact he has a local restaurent helps him immensly: http://www.morimotorestaurant.com/main.html :I'll be eating there within the week!!!). But, after seeing Sakai in action, time and again, I had to change! He's extremely artistic and creative. He also cares greatly about presentation.

I still Love Morimoto, but Sakai is the better chef. Opinion isn't a factor.
