    Default Great Video Game Commercials

    I don't think I've seen anything quite this bizarre.

    All very work-safe.

    Great Xbox commercial:

    The Zelda one was amazing. Can anyone translate it?

    I personaly don't understand why they made that dancing shemale zelda commerical. It does nothing for me other the game. The best Zelda commericial is the N64 one.

    heh, probably because it sounds like an actual game title.

    lol yeah I liked that one as well... I still like the theater of the mind, for the saturn back in the day... I had a link to a site somewhere, that had it on it, but that was a kick ass commercial.

    The GameCube price-change and Zelda Collector's Edition bundle commericals were great too. The ones with the scruffy guy in the red vest. My friends kept trying to say "they're making fun of Toys R Us" and I'm like "No! Toys R Us employees wear red SHIRTS not VESTS!!! And we would never hire anyone that retarded to work in the RZone...except maybe at Revere" But yeah, those were some silly commercials, especially when they guy was outside the store dressed like Link to promote the Zelda Collection bundle.

    I like the new NBA 2k6 commercial. Shaq is in the supermarket produce section and someone "takes control" with the new control set up. Shaq proceeds to snatch the melon from the unsuspecting guy in front of him. He then boxes him out hard and... you'll see it

    It's unique i can say that. I do remember having to convince a girl that Link was played by a female.

    Well, it was for a Link to the Past. The part that flashes by with the Triforce says "Super Famicom". I can't wait till I get to Japanese 4, because then I could understand what they are saying.

    You can't forget the best video game commercial ever aired...

    BATTLETANX!

    The old Pirate TV Sega ads when the Mega CD came out. Cyber Razor Cut and all that crazyness.

    I've never seen that Japanese Zelda ad before and I think it was absolutely terrific. I'd love to have a recording of that tune. Come on, people, what's to complain about? Japanese rap, cross-dressing cosplay, sampled video game music? This is our culture!

    I've been trying to find this site for the past few days but somehow lost the link. Thanks for the post! If I'm not mistaken, you can see a very young Seth Green playing Yar's Revenge at that site.
