The Worst VG Ad ever

[kevincure]

Tough competition, I know, but what gets your vote as the 'worst vg ad ever'? Bonus points if the ad makes a great series look terrible.

Of course I can't forget's the "Daikatana will make you Romero's Bitch" classic, but the recent Jackass/Crash ads are god-awful. "I give it 10 out of 10 crutches"? It doesn't make any sense, the tie-in is completely unrelated to the game, there's basically nothing about the actual title in the ad....what can ya do.

The one for Atari Jaguar with the guy who had eyes in the back of his head was pretty lame.

[suppafly]

Romero´s Daikatana ad IS without a doubt the most stupid and offensive ever...

[crazyjackcsa]

how about the ack-laim tombstone thing. Or the baby named turok. those were bad

There used to be an ad for "Zero Tolerance" on genesis. It had a guy with eyes in the back of his head.

I forget what game or system it was for, but the one showing the ass cracks of 2 fat guys at a ball game. *shudders*

[suppafly]

I remember too anothe ad that had some criticisms

It was an ad for WORLD HEROES for nes...and it had the world "bitch" on it....i cant remember more, but it DID make some people complain.

[suppafly]

World heroes for SNES, not nes. My bad

I think there has probably been something even more offensive that I can't think of off the top of my head, but the most stupid? Romero's ad takes the cake.

This Zelda ad I found on the net a while ago is pretty bad.

The funny thing is that he didn't really want to do it - but somebody goaded him into going through with it. Bad, bad decision. Right up there with Valve's recent dates screwup in terms of forehead-cratering idiocy.

Worst:
the Japanese 'Zelda Zelda Revolution' ad.

Best:

ANY Segata Sanshiro ad, with the fish or Baseball ones at the top.

[Ed Oscuro]

I particularly like the Winter Heat one, and the one with a supersize Saturn on his back, punching the control pad :)

The BEST one, though, is the ATOMIC BOMBERMAN one.

BOOM!

Sega Saturn.

Shudders... never saw that one as a child, thank god.

Extremely poor attempt at advertising by Namco Japan

Konami joins in the fun

[Aussie2B]

Atlus has a habit of making horrible magazine ads... I especially hated the ones for Disgaea.

[MegaDrive20XX]

CastleVania 64 ad

"Nice Outfit, too bad the night life sucks"...cheesy

http://www.nesdays.com/mega_add.JPG <--- Mega Man 5 ad "Help Mega Man turn Proto Man into Spare Parts"....I guess no one told them Proto is his brother?

What is wrong with you people? The Japanese Zelda 3 ad is an all-time classic. I laugh with it, not at it.

And you all should try to get Moblins to dance like that. It's not easy.
