Honestly, who DOESN'T associate the song with Nintendo in some capacity? :P Smash Bros 64's commercial, and most recently in the original Detective Pikachu trailer. It's their "theme song" to me. :P

Edit: In case it wasn't obvious, it was more of a rhetorical question, not a serious one. :P

Really looking forward to Borderlands 3 and the trailer definitely keeps me aware of how soon I'll be playing :D

This is a pretty good trailer. They sure hyped it up though, was hoping this was going to be a cross-play announcement. :<

Weird take. It's such a commonly used piece of music, I think people likely have lots of different associations, or because it's so often used, none at all.

Yeah, that's the one clear advantage Epic has, and given that they've handed out the cross-play API to a much smaller game (Dauntless), I'm surprised that there's still no indication that they're going to let Gearbox kick the tyres.

It's probably Sony's fault, somehow.

After the last sucky one now THIS is a Borderlands trailer I like. Reminds me of the "Wimoweh" trailer that got me insanely hyped for Bordelands 2. Good job!

Not me. That honour belongs to Smiths Chips

Oh yeah, for sure. It originated in 1969 so there's five decades of people hearing it and having their own associations with it. Mine's just Nintendo :P First remembered ever hearing it in the Smash Bros 64 commercial in 1999 I think when it came out. Been hooked since. :)

Does this mean Switch version and Claptrap in Smash is happening! /s

Seriously, why are so many people accosiating this song with Nintendo? It's been used everywhere.

TBH, I don't find this trailer anything special. It's fun, but that's pretty much it. It almost looks like it could have been done by fans using B2 resources.

Cool trailer. Also, I've never associated this with Nintendo. This song has been used in countless advertising and movies for decades. It's like 50 years old.

Fantastic trailer. Still need to decide what platform to get.

PS4 will have the biggest community, Share plays, comfy couch gaming, Dualshock 4.

PC will give you the most graphical options and you will find it pretty cheap after a few months, free online... but its exclusive to Epic Store (sad face).

And Xbox One...well, more of less the same as PS4. 😬

More often than not embedded YT videos never seem to work for me ("video unavailable"). I don't even have enough time to click on the YT link in the video to open it up on the actual website directly. WTF am I doing wrong? I know it's early (for me at least) but I'm pretty sure I'm just dumb.

edit: nvm, saw the response below, that worked fine, thx Toni

Until right now I didn't know that this song was ever used in a Nintendo commercial. I would have put this song with Simpsons more so then anything Nintendo has done.

Well made trailer. I just hate this song. One of the most overused commercial music tracks.

Shame this wasn't a cross-play announcement. Fun trailer nonetheless. September will be here in no time.
