netmonkey Posted June 19, 2005 Someone from AGSforums posted about this site with retro video game tv commercials: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/ Here's a good one: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=31 Here's two for Zelda (link to the past, and link's awakening) from Japan: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=110 http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1443 Here's a comercial for the NES... remember when the system came with all the accesories and included a FREAKING ROBOT? http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1086 I dont. Anyway, Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted June 19, 2005 http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=913 Somehow I find that ad to be very, very excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netmonkey Posted June 19, 2005 A lot of the Sega ads go by the "I have (a) bigger penis/boobs than thou" attitude. And then they drop out of the race... I guess they weren't man/woman enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted June 19, 2005 A lot of the Sega ads go by the "I have (a) bigger penis/boobs than thou" attitude. Well, that was pretty much the marketing sentiment behind Sonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo Chavez Posted June 19, 2005 Didn't Nick start a thread about this site a week or so ago? Or did he? I'm so confused. Well I didn't really feel like looking through the site when Nick posted it, but now I did. http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=2517 This is the first time I've seen this one, and I think it's my favorite Video game commercial yet. http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=2507 WTF, man!?! WTF?!? http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=18 This one is just adorable. http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=2198 They got the movie voice-over guy saying "One Man", la-di-da. I didn't notice that they have the japanese Link to the Past commercial before, but there's still the matter of the most famous Video game rap of all time. How can they not have it?

Chris Posted June 20, 2005 It's fascinating to me that the US and Japan ads for Pikmin (1) are clearly exactly the same: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=45 and http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=670 (except the Japan one has a hilarious extra voiceover saying "GameCube!" at the end). This post was half posted out of interest and half posted to pimp Pikmin. Play it, it fucking rules. Also Pikmin 2's vs. multiplayer is fantastic. EDIT: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=2123 WHAT!? Welcome to France, I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
