An awesome commercial for the AV Famicom, which is kind of like the NES 2, except unlike the NES 2, it has AV ports.
The odd thing is that they took out the AV for the NES 2 and made it RF only, and made the Japanese one AV only.
Hm, that voice of Link doesn't sound too bad, but Wario sounds wimpy.
What happened to good game commercials in America? :(
last really good one I remember in America was the Paper Mario (N64) one with the paper shredder.
I remember a cool Wind Waker commercial.
But Link and Wario sound weird to me. :P

The Animal Crossing one that parodied The Real World was good too.
I want those costumes. :(
Oh, and let's not forget the commercial that they pulled after two weeks because people wrote in letters saying how stupid it was:

Link sounds like a girl from some anime.

Nah, he just sounds like a young boy like in the original game.
Ha, Nintendo released Zelda on two completely different mediums in Japan. Same with Mario. Mario 1 was on a cart, but the real Mario 2 was on a disk, so if you wanted to play it, you had to get a Disk System. Of course, two months after the Disk System launched, a cart with more memory than a disk came out, so they released Mario 3 on a cart. :D
They must have not released the original Zelda on a cart until like 1993. Wow.

One of my favorites, next to the one for Four Swords.
*looks at American Wii commercials, then at Japanese Wii commercials*
"Wii would like to play." Shut up, will you? I prefer the blue circles in the Japanese commercials :P

The "dun" is awesome.
"Wii would like to play." is lazy.
Wow, Nintendo's older commercials are weird compared to recent ones....

Heheh, I saw that one a few times.
I always thought the Majora's Mask commecial was cool. A weird approach, but it was cool.
Ooh, fun. Composite video was a big step-up back then, but now I go no less than S-Video.
About the commercial, it's pretty strange, but in a good way. Commercials suck nowadays.

Yeah, the original Famicom only had RF, but by the 90's, most Japanese TVs had Composite hookups.
Commercials have sucked ever since Apple started getting popular. I HATE commercials that sell a "lifestyle" rather than a product. If the product is good, it should speak for itself.

God, Apple's current Mac commercials piss me off. I can't stand that whole "HI, I'M A PC AND I SUCK" and "HI, I'M A MAC. BUY ME" stuff. It's just annoying. Whatever happened to commercials that were able to just get the point across without the need for insults?
