A Japanese blogger pointed this out. Neat to see how some of these games were advertised in Japan.

Nifty. Some of them (like the Volleyball one) resemble old Atari commercials a little. The animated Disk-Kun thing is cool.
So Japanese ROB had red arms? And while a lot of those games looked familliar, what was the first one?

funny they didn't use the JDF for the famicom wars one. that was hilarious seeing the sterotypical marines marching thing complete with loud mouthed sargent and fat marine all talking japanese. just something so hilariously odd about that.
that and the store clerk dressed like an old lady...WTF?

Has Link ever been played by a *MAN* in a Zelda commercial?
And Marines in Japanese = hilarious.

I had no idea Beat Takeshi had a game! Sounds hillarious to boot. I'm sure someone here at DP has a copy....

Takeshi's Castle/MxC has a Famicom game too. Complete with Power Pad.

I keep telling my girlfriend that the guy from MXC makes some really F'd up horror movies.
"Irritable Bowl Syndrome" LOL
The woman in video #8 is pretty cute (red outfit) I wonder who she is/was?

The bilingual Famicom guide/celebration I have is a bit more blunt about the effect it had on children of the day, and Taito's excuse for what happened.
