The commercial thread

Japanese commercials for Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel, Banjo-Tooie


And as a bonus, for anyone that bought the rumor that Banjo-Kazooie wasn't popular in Japan*

Spoiler

*This rumor spread entirely because idiot Smash Players in the west were butthurt over the Dragon Quest heroes in Smash Bros, despite still getting what they wanted.

 

'Okayyyyyy?...'

 

K-tel made a lot of weird gimmicky products like these mood shirts

 

Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?

 

Huh. Didn't even knew we (the US) got a commercial for this game to begin with.

Spoiler: FYI

Path of Radiance is the best Fire Emblem game. I will fight anyone that says the waifu-bait trash that is Awakening beyond are any better.

 

DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN PLAY WITH MATCHES YOU IRRESPONSIBLE FUCKING WANKER

 

"Reh-kword"

 

Mobile game ads are a special kind of horrible. Just like mobile games in general.

 

Kinda sucks that Civilization Revolution went the mobile-only route with the sequel to the first game.

(first game was also on XBox 360, PS3, and DS)

 

They're choc-a-block, mon!

 

Because this thread needs more cringy "how do you do, fellow kids" viral marketing.

Spoiler

TBH, this is still not as bad as that one PS3 commercial with the creepy baby.

 

Posting this because I've just beat Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time today. The game is about Mario traveling to the past to rescue Peach from alien shrooms while also taking care of three babies.

Spoiler

I like the fact that the US commercial is mostly just a dumb babysitting ad, with only 5 seconds devoted to showing the actual game.

 

Just how desperate are you for an admittedly quite nice flavoured chocolate bauble?...

 

Cute!

 

Thanks to how Cosby managed to botch his image and reputation by being a sex pest, I'm wondering if he added in some sedatives to that Coke before offering it to an unsuspecting woman.
