No Nintendo music in the lineup is surprising considering how Mario was SUPER tied into the announcement of the

I'm curious what the plans were for this opening ceremony pre-pandemic, cuz this isn't as much of a spectacle that I imagined it to be thus far

aaaand commercial break. I wonder what NBC is skipping out on this time around

Flashbacks to when NBC COMPLETELY skipped the beautiful "Abide with me" segment of the London 2012 opening ceremonies for commercials.

Overall, this felt like a low-key Olympic opening ceremony. It was no spectacle like past games, & I assume the pandemic was a big factor in that. I fully expected something Mario related considering the flag handover to Tokyo in Rio & Super Nintendo World opening the same time

Such a large stage, but the acts were small, featuring less dancers than prior opening ceremonies. Even the amount of athletes felt sparse. Of course, understandably: The pandemic is still happening.
