they took an existing game they assumed was too japanese to market to the US and slapped an advertisement skin over it

honestly probably the best result for everyone, as the game is decent because it was trying to be a real game originally and not just shovelware, and capcom got a paycheck for it being an ad.

didn't this mascot cause some guy to hold a pizza hut hostage or something?

The levels are legitimately good maybe a little difficult with the 1 hit death but the boss “fights” are Alex Kidd tier shitty

what’s w the story behind this?

>On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill man who believed that the "Avoid the Noid" campaign was personally directed towards him and was antagonizing him, entered a Domino's restaurant in Chamblee, Georgia. Armed with a .357 Magnum, Noid then held two employees hostage for over five hours.[8]

>After ranting to the employees that then-owner of Domino's, Tom Monaghan, was fraudulent and had stolen his name, he first forced them to call the Domino's headquarters to demand $100,000 and a white limousine as getaway transportation for him.[8] After offering to exchange a hostage for a copy of American postmodern author Robert Anton Wilson's 1985 novel The Widow's Son, Noid reneged on his offer when an officer brought him the book.[8] Noid then became hungry and forced the captive employees to make him two pizzas;[8] while Noid ate the pizzas with his gun in his lap, the hostages escaped.[8] Noid surrendered to the police shortly after.[9] Two shots were fired by Noid during the incident.
>Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.[11][12] Noid subsequently spent time in a mental institution, but died by suicide on February 23, 1995.[13] This incident was widely believed to have caused Domino's Pizza to discontinue advertising using the Noid as their mascot,[14] but this claim has been rejected by the company and their advertisers.[15]

yes.

What were they smoking at Domino's when they made the Noid?

>You know what'll help sell pizzas? A middle aged man made of clay in an ill fitting bunny costume

What the fuck were they thinking? Also, the game sucks

Kino

kek

Noid was originally the villain and was used to represent other pizza places (hence the Avoid the Noid slogan). It was later on that they tried making him a proper mascot but the schizo guy ended that pretty early.

They should have avoided the Noid

IIRC they brought him back.

What the other user said plus the late 80's/early 90's being an "attitude era" and marketing mascots generally shifting to wacky, edgy characters to reflect that

Just for one ad and a crossover with Crash Bandicoot of all things
Dunno if he's been seen since

Those were better times. Everything is too sterile, neutered and 'safe' now.

Kinda interesting that they don't mention Domino's or show their logo on the cover at all. Is it mentioned/showed in the game itself?

I wonder if it was the other way round, with dominoes looking to get branded games made and capcom agreeing to make one then just reskinning something old instead.

soul, claymation is a lost art now since Will Vinton is dead (and the Nike founder stole his original company from him).

It’s sad they chose to use a ugly uncanny valley CGI version instead of claymation

Sounds like Noid got a little too noided.

Strangely enough Domino's is barely mentioned in the game. Even the pizza places are generic.
