I absolutely hated the Majoras mask commercials as a kid I can't believe Nintendo actually advertised the game that hard.

You stole my thunder with that Super Smash Bros. commercial so instead I'm posting my favorite game intro movie from the same era. :P

Dude, that is NUTS! The Jayster knew how to act since he was 6 then, huh...


Some of the PS3 ads have also been quite... Special

The baby one that I'm sure most of you have already seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU

And this one only aired in Japan... For obvious reasons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwvTjaQQa1M

Although it's not N64 this is without a doubt the greatest video game commercial ever, it's hilarious!:

Atari - Pole Position


These are the two adverts that I remember most from growing up in the 90s. The first one is for the Sony PlayStation 1, they really nailed their marketing campaign by aiming for the 'young professionals' with disposable income. The advert may seem a little dated now but I still think the dialogue holds up and is true to what it means to be a gamer:

PlayStation - Double Life


Finally one for the N64, I remember this advert making the game look so cool I actually bought it off the back of it. I absolutely loved the game but was very disappointed you couldn't do the "instant replays" as depicted in the advert ;_; :

N64 - F-1 World Grand Prix
