I just found these ads on Google video. They were as catchy as yellow fever! How could the saturn fail so miserably with these? Check them out.

Megaaaaaaaa!
if you love him there's even a game released on Saturn featuring him - SegataSanshiro Shinkenyuji(?)...
by the way he's the same guy who done the first Kamenrider helmet...
lol
Yes, I saw the ad for his game, yet it must be nearly impossible to find (big bucks on ebay), and I currently don't have a modded or JPN Saturn.
Megaaaaaaaa!
Best video game ads ever!
I looked up the game and its called Segata Sanshiro Shikenyugi. Play-asia sells it pre-owned for 54.90.... The game is basically a series of mini-games.
Sounds Awesome
Apparently this guy was major in Japan advertising Saturn and doing voice acting on the Dreamcast...
Megaaaaaaaa!
lmao at Segata just throwing those kids around for no reason.
And did SNK create the character Butt for MOTW off Segata?
if I'm not mistaken he voiced the Ryo's father in ShenmueOriginally Posted by ajfarias
The commercials are freaking out there, holy crap man. Anyway pretty funny although the early Genesis commercials in the US take the cake.
Speed Kills but Strength Punishes
Saturn did pretty well in Japan, as far as I know.Originally Posted by ajfarias
And Segata Sanshiro definitely rocks!
These commercials are great. I wish televesion marketing in the US would take after Japan, instead of being a) celebrity whore-off, b) some one acting a fool and dancing around in an irrerelevant manner which has nothing to do with product, or finally c) flashes of boobs.

Classic indeed!
Exactly what I was going to say. Saturn wasn't an enormous hit in Japan, but it did well. Saturn actually did better than Genesis and DC in Japan. Who says you need the Japanese market to be a success? You paying attention Microsoft?Originally Posted by Hokkus

a.) Steven Segal wasn't the only one in Japan.Originally Posted by Bluteg
b.) Ever seen NEC ads for their old 8/16-bit computers? Just as irrelevant as US ones, and probably a little bit more so (women posing while wearing dated 80s fashions).
c.) I can't believe you don't like boobs. Everybody likes boobs. I'm a boob, too, but that's a different kind...

Hey, anybody who takes the time to look up sales numbers is pretty awesome, no need to apologize, I think.
