10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time
9. Super Mario Odyssey - T-Rex Trailer
Mario is hardly a franchise that needs advertisement at this point. Even if Nintendo were to make a blank trailer with nothing but the announcement of a new game, they would probably still get a decent amount of revenue. But, that doesn't mean Nintendo doesn't often knock it out of the park when it comes to selling this quirky plumber.
This trailer plays its audience like a fiddle, as it lures you in with the random appearance of a humongous tyrannosaurus rex before you catch a glimpse of the lovable Cappy. From there, it chucks outstanding visuals at you for an entire two and a half minutes, giving audiences plenty of colour and game mechanics to eat up.
Of course, one of Super Mario Odyssey's biggest selling points was its lavish worlds, which this trailer centres on. It essentially takes you on a teaser tour of each major location, giving you just enough to feel familiar with the style but cutting away so quickly that you're left wanting more.
Plus, it's impossible not to mention the now-iconic song "Jump Up, Super Star!", which ended up playing a significant role in the game. Using it in this trailer was a stroke of genius, as it's got a catchy sound and great lyrics.
