Was downstairs looking at stuff and found a vhs tape on Diddy Kong Racing...distributed with a Nintendo Power, I suppose.

Junk?

Yeah you see the nintendo promo videos ALOT on ebay. Usually don't sell / go for peanuts. I think there's a zelda one that may be worth something? I donno.

Pretty much junk. I've found 2 in the wild already. It's worth having just to have, but it isnt worth anything.

I've got a few of those. The Donkey Kong Country one is the best and is worth something but most of the other ones aren't and you could probably still get them directly from Nintendo if you asked.

I used to get those once in awhile when I was a subscriber to Nintendo Power. I do remember getting the one on Donkey Kong Country but forget what other ones I got. I'm not sure if I still have those or not...they may be buried away somewhere. Not worth the trouble, anyway. You may want to keep it as a gaming souvenir of some sort.

Yeah, not worth much. You didn't have to even subscribe to NP to get them, I registered my 64 and recieved them also. My favorite was the StarFox 64 one. I love how stupid they made "SEGA" and "Sony" look. =)

if you think thats good you should see this video i bought off a ex-nintendo rep. Its of the 1999 nintendo summit and is full of anti dreamcast / playstation propaganda.

Those videos were all pretty interesting. I'll pick them up from time to time when I see them out there.

On a related topic, have you ever seen the Donkey Kong Country CG cartoon thing? Now that is almost too wacky for words!

I remember having the DKC video, I guess it was in a magazin or maybe it came with another game. I can't really remember. I wonder if I still have it, would be nice to watch it again.

Any chance you could put clips of the anti-Sony/Sega stuff online? I think it would be funny to watch.

Damn it! It took me YEARS to get that cartoon out of my mind and now you've just dragged it back in! Gyaaarrgghh!!

The Starfox one was pretty funny, especially how hammy the actors were (but you know they were probably having fun doing it). I think my favorite one was the Banjo-Kazooie tape, for the sole reason that SNL alumi Jon Lovitz narrated the whole thing.

I loved the fact that some of them (if not all) had in game video of parts that were taken out of the final release. That is really nice to watch. 8-)

To set a price on it, I would say 2-3$ tops. The problem is, only a limited number of colectors want them, and most of them already have one. As they were easy to get and many did, there isnt the demand for it. That isnt to say its junk, its just that its not as valuable as other colectables. I would be against throwing it away simply because you should keep it and enjoy it. That is my opinion though.
