Best Video Game Commercials
« on: March 22, 2013, 07:51:48 pm »
Let's face it half of collecting games is nostalgia. What's more nostalgic than watching the old commercials? Well, a lot of things... but let's see you favorite video game commercials anyways.

Here is mine. It was commercials like this that made me want a Genesis instead of Nintendo. I was 8 at the time and this commercial is perfect for an 8 year old boy.

This japanese one for Link to the Past might be one of the coolest:

That big animatronic Gannon !_!

I really like the old wacky game commercials that were just insane and fun to watch. Now it's like they just show people with guns and explosion and there's no real sense of fun to them.


Nintendo actually has been doing some pretty fun commercials recently.

This is not my type of game but the commercial makes the game look good. The main character just seems nonchalant and horribly badass while he kicks the crap out of everything!

Man, the Link to the Past one is kinda weird  :o Old ads were really something, haha.



This one never fail to make me laugh. I just love the man's reactions!

Okay that WAS pretty cool. Too bad the game is BALLS (played it recently, it's horrible).

Is it just me, or did anyone else laugh at the idea of the GBA's screen being that visibly bright?

Redblaze, something tells me you have a fantastic sense of humor. I love it. I really do.
