-- How much did Nintendo pay to land that dream marketing opportunity at the Rio
Olympics closing ceremony, where Japans prime minister popped out dressed as the
red-hatted plumber Super Mario?Zero.The Japanese video game maker behind Pokemon
and Zelda got the coveted stage that corporate sponsors pay millions for after
they were approached by those creating the festivities for cooperation, not the
other way around, says Nintendo Co. spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa.I want to make
that clear. We did not pay, he said in a telephone interview. And we are not
going to become Olympic sponsors either.Prime Minister Shinzo Abes emergence in
a Super Mario costume was the highlight of the handover section for Tokyo, the
host of the 2020 games.The segment was so favorably received in Japan as
surprisingly playful and tasteful, given the staidness usually associated with
Japan Inc., that Abe earned a new nickname, Abe-Mario.Tokyo city official
Masahiro Hayashi said Japans top advertising company Dentsu Inc. was tapped to
produce the handover segment, with a total budget for the Rio Olympics and the
Paralympics of 1.2 billion yen ($12 million).He refused to say how much Dentsu
was paid, or give other details.The city of Tokyo and the organizing committee
are under intense pressure to trim costs, which have ballooned over thhe years,
partly because of the weakening yen but also because planning fiascos, such as
decisions to redo designs for both the main stadium and the Tokyo 2020
logo.dddddddddddd.Organizing committee spokesman Motoki Okumura would not give
details of the spending for the closing ceremony. Dentsu also declined to
comment.Top Olympic sponsors pay millions of dollars to the IOC for permission
to promote their brands to a massive global audience. Nintendo just did it for
free. With Japans prime minister as their pitchman. Easily the marketing coup of
the Rio games, said Bob Dorfman, a sports marketing analyst and creative
director at Baker Street Advertising of San Francisco.Purists might feel the
commercial branding was a bit overdone, and argue for other ways to promote
Japanese culture, according to Dorfman, who has lived in Japan.But gaming and
anime are certainly major aspects of modern Japan, and Mario is a universal
icon. As someone who doesnt take sports or the Olympics too seriously, I found
the whole thing pretty funny and entertaining, he said.---Follow Yuri Kageyama
