The 32X/Sega CD one is great.

"You can always add a Sega CD, or the new 32X."

"Everything else seems dead and cold."

"Burial or cremation?"
"Burn it."

AND THEN DONKEY KONG COUNTRY CAME OUT BITCHES.

Where is that link to normal TV ads? I had a whole bunch saved but it got deleted somehow from my PC.

Damn.. that first Nintendo commercial. Damn NES came with Zapper, 2 controllers, ROB, Gyromite and Duck Hunt?

Mine came with 2 controllers, track pack, Duck hunt + track meet + mario (all in one cart), and Zapper

What was the PS2 commercial that David Lynch directed ?

I've heard variously that he directed a number of the Third Place commercials, and certainly Chasing Rabbits has sort of the same trademark languorous feel, but the only one I'm positive he did doesn't appear to be on the site -- click here for that one. Dig that low-rent Cooper giving his gut-shot thumbs up!

Woops, nevermind, it's on the site at http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=252 but the lynchnet link is a color version.

I'm also partial to Chris Cunningham's -- http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1072

I got this for Christmas in '86 (or 85 not sure)

where are the cool FFVI and Front Mission 1 Japanese commercials?

...on the same note, the cheesy US FFIII commercial is nowhere to be found either.


Man, that original Biohazard commercial is hilarious... unintentionally, I'm sure. That music... :lol

I have been looking for a TurboGrafx-16 Legendary Axe commercial - it had 2 guys and a dalmation dog. they're playing Legendary Axe in their den. one of the guys says "go back go back!" as one of the boulders threatens to hit the player. iirc one of the guys drops a sandwich, which the dog gets. my memory is soo foggy on that one, that im probably forgetting something.

Great ads all around, but man oh man, none of 'em can top Medal of Honor: European Assault's ad. Gives me chills every time.

:lol

...I like the commercial

The OoT commercial is the best video game comercial ever, in my opinion.

I just wish the site had it in better quality than IGN's absolutely craptacular capture.

I dunno. "Or whilst thou suck" ruins it for me.

I've never seen that Ocarina commercial. Did Nintendo intentionally use the same music for the E32004 Zelda trailer?

SP5 Pad commercial. http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1175

Thanks for the link, some of the commercials bring back memories. Some are just hilarious!

Non-Europeans may not understand, but I loved the Dreamcast online commercials that were aired during Euro 2000, and fueled confrontation between countries, exaggerating the worse stereotypes of each one (I think the commercials were even retired in the UK for promoting violence).

Sadly, I haven't seen the one about Spain one (which obviously was not aired here and should have been hilarious) which is not on that web either...

Yes. That's the Conan music which they used.

The reason why you hear a few audience members in a non-direct feed E32004 video shout at the beginning of the Zelda unveiling, well before Link or Epona ever showed up on screen, was because they recognized the music and remembered the commercial (as did I)



and yeah, "Whilst thou suck?" was kind of weird. :lol
