The Peach Pit...hehehehe

He won, and he did it for Brenda!

woah, I was in new york a couple of months ago. Kinda cool when you recognise the shop in the back ground

Guy on the right seems puxxled.

Actually, guy on the right looks a lot like...

Ashcraft!

What's with the giant M? LOL

@Spoony Bard:

Yeah, he looks "a little" like Bash.

@googleguru:

Um ... Mario?

Who's Jason Priestley?

I'm in Britain btw, so not too good with celebs that aren't famous here ;)

@googleguru:

Geeze, I don't know.. maybe it stands for Mario?.

This picture just angers me in so many ways, yet I'm not sure why.

Wow Jason Priestley? No one of worth was available?

@YoppaDo:

He was on a show called "Beverly Hills, 90210" back in the 90s. It was about a bunch of stuck up brats who lived in Beverly Hills, California.

[en.wikipedia.org]

@Kyle81:

Hahaha!!!!

He was also a professional race car driver, giving him a bit more value than people would automatically assume

I was at the event (waited for more than two hours but didn't get the game...grrrr) and it felt kinda sorry for the guy. He spent most of his time just standing around with no one to talk to. I'm thinking that it wasn't really an ideal demographic for him.

Still, he probably got paid a crapload of money just to be there so it was hard to feel too sorry for him.

@Bon5ai: Pro is not exactly what you would call it...

Does Dillion come in and drive the Motorcycles? Yes,it pains me that I know their names and their vehicles of choice .

@dead_red_eyes: Just change the town in California and you could be creator of the next hit show on ABC!

His age shows... Isnt there going to be a 90210 spin off or something?

when did he turn into john mellencamp?

@Kyle81: I'm not surprised that Nintendo chose him. Most celebrities today are surrounded by controversy and scandal such that they would seriously hurt Nintendo's family friendly image.

The last thing Nintendo needs is a celebrity showing up at the event high, drunk, or not wearing underwear.

@Erwin:

Haha! Isn't that the truth.

Didn't Priestly do the voice-over for that tricked-out car show, Rides?
He always sounded like he just rolled out of bed and they held back the coffee till he finished reading atleast a page.

Why are they wearing the strap when the Wiimote is connected to the wheel? Are people trowing the wheels at their TVs while tring to fire koopa shells?

@geekgrrl: Hilarious.

It looks like Priestly was the victim of some "long lines" as well.

@geekgrrl:
Hah, that's the guy I was thinking of.

@Velops: That would be awesome.

I'm kind of the minority here, in that (characters and music aside) I thought Warrior Within was the best of the series. I loved all three.

Yes, the Prince is totally 2 dimensional in WW, yes that stupid Godsmack music just doesn't work and continues to play long after the fight is over. Aside from that? Wicked. I thought it had the best environments, the best level design, the best platforming of the series.

In Sands of Time the platforming was of course excellent, but the fight system? (We know, we know) the first time you run up a guy's face, flip over him and whack him with your sword? Awesome. After that you realize there's pretty much no combat system.

In Two Thrones they introduce stealth kills (awesome! I love me some Tenchu), and you get to enjoy... let me think... at most 5 animations for dispatching enemies. And that's not 5 per enemy. That's 5 total...I think. May've miscounted. But honestly, if you're not going to crank it to 11 (or at least 8), leave well enough alone.

But I'll also freely say the end of Sands of Time and Two Thrones always get to me. I dunno why but when the Prince starts to tell his story at the end of the games I always get misty.

A new Prince of Persia series for the new systems? Yes please. Trilogy please. And give us a decent way to replay the next Assassin's Creed.

Holy crap - wrong article. Sorry, sorry...

@Chances:

SHAME ON YOU!

I think Priestly is just happy to be in front of a camera again.

@Chances:

I agree, Beverly Hills 90120 should have been a trilogy.

No one can be that excited about Mario Kart Wii

@Chances: LOL, that is funny. Some people did the same thing - on purpose - on a Fleshbot article a few days back. Confusion ensued.

:)

I don't have a Mario Kart friend. :(

Who wants to be my Mario Kart friend?

It'd be great to have a Mario Kart friend!

I wish everybody had a Mario Kart friend.

@Vetterli:

Q.Q <-- well-shamed.

I saw him, but I honestly didn't know who he was.

Wasn't he convicted of drunk driving a while back?

Who? What?

@Weirdwolf: He would've gotten away with it, but the purusing officers had a Blue Shell.

So cheap...

@Moridin: Hahaha! That had me laughing... good one

Beverly Hills sure didn't have him age well. I know Preistley has some kind of sponsorship with racing organization, which is why he was asked to be in this schtick, but they could have pitted him against someone close to being a peer, like Zack Morris!

I can see it now! Preistley is going to be in a new spinoff of the now defunct teen flick from times of yore, titled: Beverly Hills 90210-oh-oh My Back...

Aw man. It would have been so cool if Mr. Crecente raced that Priestley.

Why is he (Dillon) soooo happy?

@ This Picture: Is this Chace looking at his future? He's starring in today's version of 90210. Will we see him in 15 years pushing some game to which he has a questionable connection? I can't wait...

@scarletisred: Does "puxxled" mean "much more attractive than ragged, old, leathery-face Jason Priestly"?

Oh hell, I had to stare at that photo for about 20 seconds to realize that was Jason Priestley. I was starting to wonder why there was an article on someone who looks like one of those sex offender you see on the local news in their mugshot when they get arrested.

I honestly don't recognize him. He's the guy in the white?

Who is this? And why should I care that he likes Mario?

Do the kids playing MK Wii even know who Jason Priestly is? Great job Nintendo...

BTW, Donna Martin graduate!

uh, didn't he, awhile back, almost kill himself racing cars?

Oh, I've seen him before. He was in an episode of 8 Simple Rules.

@purplehanz

Bowser was behind it all

@purplehanz
Bowser was behind it

The UK gets Patrick Stewart, Nicole Kidman, Nell McAndrew, Sarah harding, and more.

The US gets Jason Priestly.

Nintendo of America, you officially suck.
