THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL EVER.

[Sephex]

This is an old Nintendo Power commercial. I remember seeing it all the time when I was a kid. However, I don't remember it being this hilarious.

Oh my god, I had the song from that commercial stuck in my head for weeks before I seen that.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Meh.

Absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, beats this;

That was the first commerical I thought of when I saw this thread. Then of course there's the other one:

The Nintendo Power one isn't bad though.

That Nintendo Power issue with mega man on the front was the one that covered FF Legends II up to the Giant World. I also have one of those controllers. The NES advantage.

That one was really amazing... but I never liked Mario ^^ i don't trust man with mustache ^^

[Sephex]

I actually watched most of these last night before I decided to post the Nintendo Power one. My girlfriend thought the japanese Link to the Past commercial was brilliant.

[Madame Adequate]

Clearly the Katamari Damacy and the Arnie ads are best.

Question; does anyone know of that one commercial where Nintendo spends like six minutes mocking the PS and Saturn, or something along those lines? I've been looking for it for awhile, no dice. I know it's out there, I've seen it online before, and it's hilarious. Megathx.

[theundeadhero]

I remember the Nintendo newsletter before Nintendo Power, but I don't remember an NES having black buttons.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Ah wait, you guys haven't see the Japanese Sonic R commercial, it's funny as fuck. Segata Sanshiro (the best superhero ever) finds these kids off to play baseball, he beats them up for doing that instead of playing Sonic R.

Probably this. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=O3oGylkA2S4) It was a VHS that Nintendo Power sent out when Starfox 64 was coming out. I used to love watching it at my friend's house.

[Sephex]

Yeah, I got that in the mail back in the day. ed thought it was so funny I let him have the video.

[Kefka_Almighty]

I can't believe no one has mentioned this commercial yet:

I must have watched this commercial at least five times, and I still have no idea what in the hell is going on.

LOL! that was funny!

Out of all those games, only Goldeneye and LOZ:OT was good :)

Edit: Shame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydnz8WiSRks was never aired

[-Red XIII-]

I just posted a comment on that (Im Sipheria) LOL

[Araciel]

heh super mario super show...the cartoons were good...the live action was lame...i loved the rare legend of zelda segments

[fantasyjunkie]

LOL! I had forgotten from my time of living in Japan how wacky those commercials were! :D

[Araciel]

but how wacky is most of their tv? is it as wacky as we are led to believe?

I dont recall any computer game consoles being advertised. Only since the PS1, Ive seen them more on the TV. PS2, DS, XBox 360.

I remember seeing single runs of commercials for Final Fantasy VIII and Resident Evil 3 and freaking out because of how much I was ready for video games to hit the mainstream with advertising.

Now I just wish they'd start advertising more good games.

[~SapphireStar~]

The one what I can really remember and going crazy over was Tomb Raider Legends. It was advertised nonstop on the TV till I bought it. Was kinda like TV was mocking me.

[look_out_below]

Lol those commercials are all great, especially the Arnie ones (rofl) and the multigrain one (dies).

Anyway here is an ad for the gameboy micro that was aired in Canada, it never made it on to USA TV stations and i dont know if it was aired outside of North America. You just have to wonder what they were thinking with this ad though.

[~SapphireStar~]

Mouse humping a GBMicro? No wonder it didnt get aired. I doubt the British advertisers would have aired it here either.

[Sephex]

This one isn't that old, but I laughed my ass off at the end when I first saw this a couple of years ago.

Oh my god, they completly stole that concept from Spaced.

This is an injustice.
