Yeah, not sure how it is like the 90’s, but the ad is really effective and well put together. Maybe the only criticism is not making it known this is a 100% new game, and not just a Luigi’s Mansion remake. Still, a great example of how not all game ads are crap.
Pretty sure that’s the same damm narrator that Nintendo used for ads way back in the 90’s.
I would say it is 90s in the same sense that when is the last time you have seen a commercial of a kid playing a video game as a means to promote the game being played. Nowadays it is usually some clip made using in-game scenes or a from scratch kinda deal using the game engine.
Then there is also the kid himself and his enthusiasm. Remember ads for board games like connect 4 and mousetrap etc with everyone grinning like idiots? same stylings, and definitely not seen in quite some time
