6 Baffling Old-School Video Game Commercials

Some great stuff there.

The Legend of Zelda one's are awesome.
Why don't more people rap in commercials anymore?

That rapping Zelda one seems like a horrible ad. It labels everyone that plays Nintendo a nerd that can't rap.

I may be a nerd, but at least I can rap!

That's still up for debate.

Good to see you back Hobbes, hopefully everything is going well for you.

That Australian NES commercial is wierd. It's like that direstraits video(money for nothing?) but less cool.

The Gameboy one shared the same music with an old school Tab commercial(yeah I remember that for some reason), otherwise it's pretty tame. I like that picture of Mario in the flames, I saved it.

The PolePosition one is funny. I was hoping the family would've really blown up.

The rest were equally as wierd and/or disturbing. The second Zelda one makes you wonder who thought that was a good idea.

"Touching is good."

I'm glad they no longer use that slogan.

Oh, and by the way, FWUB-WABA-WABA-WABA! ZELDA!? PEHATS!

Here's a couple of game ads I liked.

the only thing that could have saved the legend of zelda rap is if vanilla ice did it...ok, maybe not.

Yeah, I remember the Dr. Mario one and the Zelda one. The Zelda one I might not have seen on actually TV, just on the internet. But I know I saw that Dr. Mario one on TV.

I remember Mario Tennis, that's it. You guys is old!

Hehehe, I'm so cool replacing "am" and "are" with is
