Here's a classic.

You know, I could see this being a truly epic commercial with just a bit of work. Still pretty awesome as-is.

Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.

"Each game sold seperately."

... No Shit Sherlock. No. Shit.

Is it me, or is america the only country to have obvious disclaimers in ads? Or atleast read out loud in a mumbled and fast voice?

Still, great commercial, even to this day.

Shit. They've beaten me to both the God Hand AND the Devil May Cry commercial.

Ign is talking about their "best (and worst) console commercials": http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1213596p1.html

It was about twenty years ago that the SNES versus Genesis competition — one of the more divisive Console Wars — became Serious Business. I remember some of those crazy commercials to this day. Haven't paid much attention to commercials for game playing devices since.

I love how old commercials made the game system as some sort of artifact of power, like the Game Boy.

Not a real commercial, but I wish it was:

Anyone post the U.S. Majora's Mask commercials? The Roger Waters-inspired "Radio Zelda" campaign?

[up]I think my favorite of those was the cross-promotion with the WWF, where the Hardy Boyz stop mid-match to note the incoming doom. Made the mooncrash seem that much bigger.

I have to agree. "Long Live Play" (a.k.a. the "Michael" ad) is probably the single best video game campaign ever. There's nothing quite like seeing it for the first time and saying to yourself "I did that."
