Nintendo of Italy has jumped on the Post-It Notes as sprites bandwagon, creating a series of street ads based on the bitmapped versions of its most popular characters Link, Mario and Donkey Kong. These aren't regular Post-It Notes, mind you, as they're adorned with custom "Wii'll Not Forget" advertising on the back, which not only delivers the Wii elevator pitch, but also probably inspires current Wii owners to compulsively purchase Virtual Console titles.

Argh! Must resist... urge to purchase... Super Mario Bros. 2... again.
