    In hindsight, R.O.B. was probably the most successful trojan horse marketing scheme of all time.

    They interrupt with "batteries not included" and "sold separately" instead of putting that stuff at the end.

    That is pretty much how it's pronounced in Japan, but somehow it sounds funny how he says it.

    Also what if that was a commercial for some odd Smash Bros?

    That was weirdly common with commercials from the '70s and '80s.

    Look at the selling points for Game Boy

    * It's portable
    * It's in stereo
    * The games are interchangeable

    I don't think I ever once plugged headphones into my Game Boy.

    Japanese Game Boy Launch Commercial #1 1989 - YouTube

    So that cyber guy used some kind of beam to teleport a kid already playing a GB to where he is? :confused:

    I sometimes use headphones with my red GB Pocket, but without headphones one doesn't miss much.

    I like game commercials that are time capsules of the era and say little to nothing about the game itself.

    How do you sell Tetris in the '90s? Blow shit up!

    I like how no matter the country, the commercials will tell the viewers that F-Zero X is running on pure BAMF power.

    >inb4 nickelodeon bumpers

    Also [adult swim] bumpers from the '00s could be rather wat.

    And then there was the Toonami bumpers from around 2000 with the 3DCG spacecraft and robot guy.

    Too bad Don Messick died before this was made, otherwise he could have reprised his role just to take the piss out of Scrappy.
