Recommended Posts

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:

Here's a comercial for the NES... remember when the system came with all the accesories and included a FREAKING ROBOT?

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.

Well, that was pretty much the marketing sentiment behind Sonic.

Didn't Nick start a thread about this site a week or so ago? Or did he? I'm so confused. :confused:

Well I didn't really feel like looking through the site when Nick posted it, but now I did.

This is the first time I've seen this one, and I think it's my favorite Video game commercial yet.

WTF, man!?! WTF?!?

This one is just adorable.

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?

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...
