Commercials were one of the many ways to showcase a product to kids of the era, and I was one of those kids who made my decisions on video gaming, from TV spots, so I decided to watch all of the old NES commercials I could find, but I could only find so much. That being said, these are my top 10 best NES commercials! Do you remember any of these?

This is an episode where it’s just nice to sit back and bask in the nostalgia. Hits you right in the heart. Though I’m getting to the age where I can’t really tell if I actually saw these commercials or just wish I had.

@Fortefyre 29 дней назад

I'm glad!

I love how they barely put any effort in trying to make that spider in the swords and serpents commercial look even a little bit real by just wiggling it around like a kid would with a toy spider xD

Right?!?!

@erneststackhouse1133 27 дней назад

i watched 7 out of 10 of those commercials growing up. Star Wars, Konami, Mike Tyson, Tetris, Game Genie, Super Mario 3 & Paper Boy! That Crystalis commercial looked awesome! Glade you had that as one of your picks as i never saw it before! Thanks for the fun memories!

@Fortefyre 27 дней назад

You bet! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@chanceallen3586 28 дней назад

I was a kid and teen when all these ads aired. Epic flashbacks! As an aside, when I was a kid, I thought the song 'Secret Agent Man' was saying "secret Asian man" I don't remember seeing the Golgo 13 commercial, but maybe it all makes sense now! Lol

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

I ALSO THOUGHT IT DID LMFAO. I had to take a second listen lol.

@mikeburkhart8336 29 дней назад

I remember the American ad for Legend of Zelda,where it showed game screenshots with some guy saying "Zelda?" over and over. I remember thinking "Wow! This game looks like Gauntlet!" Gauntlet being an arcade game I was addicted to back then.

After beating Wizards and Warriors, I saw this commercial and knew immediately my next game purchase. I asked my mom if she would get it for me for an early Christmas gift. She went and borrowed money to get it for me that week. She's great!

Golgo 13 was definitely one of my favorite games on the NES. It made me feel like I was a secret agent back in my young days.

@pharmcat8484 29 дней назад

The Waltz of the Sugarplum Fairies used to scare me as a kid. I saw a horror movie where dolls came to life and attacked people while it played. Which is why I never chose that music during my Tetris games. True story.

I tried playing Tetris with Music C the other day, and it didn't feel right lol.

@metabolizm4438 29 дней назад

Man, the Mike Tyson commercial was it for me. I remember wanting the game so bad but my parents never bought it for me. 🤷‍♂️😢 I had to play it through my friend and I was hooked! Another commercial that is very memorable for me, is the crazy lunatic Zelda wierdo guy. 🤣Zelda! Zelda! Zelldaaaaa!

That's just great. I haven't seen most of these commercials. So this was a real driven to the past and I sure miss the old school video game for hills not it's not the way it used to be that nothing is. And that's why you have this channel I know. I didn't want to be one of those funny daddy saying that used to be better in my day! But yet, here I am.

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

@thebayareacollector97 28 дней назад

Man! You brought back memories! But the one commercial that really got to me was the one for Crystalis. Back in the days when it came out my young self thought it was a continuing Zelda game. Lol I was all confused thinking Link changed to different color clothing and why was the game made by SNK lol. Nonetheless, I was really hyped about it and I consider it one of the best RPGs for the NES.

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

I could see that haha.

@michaelbarley7399 21 день назад

Being that I was watching Sportscenter in a loop when I wasn't playing video games, I don't remember most of these. I'm sure ESPN showed Punchout as I remember that one. I also remember the Ironsword one, too. I loved that game, although the dungeon memorization factor kicks my butt now. Excellent fresh new idea for a video! That's why I love your channel. Because I do reminisce a time when life was just a little more simple.

@Fortefyre 20 дней назад

if not for the commercial i saw for the SEGA Master System, i wouldnt have known about it until i was an adult, as i explored the game consoles i missed out on via emulation, but didnt discover that until my 20s. EDIT: pity that so many commercials have become lost media, i dont remember seeing commercials for NES games but i do remember Genesis, SNES and Gameboy commercials.

@ThunderFist1978 29 дней назад

Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse had a commercial that has stuck with me ever since I saw it, which has gameplay footage, but also shows Trevor morphing into each of his comrades, much like he seems to in the game. For a long time, it wasn’t available on RU-vid, but that changed a couple of years ago.

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

I might have to check it out!

@jameskm03 29 дней назад

Man I remember so many of these from Saturday morning cartoons... how does Mario 3 not finish first though... that commercial was total hype for 10yr old myself. I had Ironsword as a kid. I was able to beat it as a teen it's pretty solid with some good ideas. The fact you get unlimited continues (I think) makes it approachable and beatable. You should give it a go. I have not played W&W 1 & 3 though.

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

I might have to!

@Alucard24601 29 дней назад

Ironsword is a great game with amazing music, but is extremely difficult. The first Wizards and Warriors game is the easiest, because you have unlimited continues, and you always start off right where you die. Even in boss fights.

@Fortefyre 28 дней назад

Yeah, like almost everything hits you at any given time, it's insane lmfao.

@smallmj2886 29 дней назад

Have a look at the old Intellivision commercials. They are pretty fun. They usually compare gameplay with the Atari to show how much better the graphics were. And I can't forget Mr. Intellivision.

@bildo1977 27 дней назад

@@Fortefyre I also understand what the developers were trying to do with this convoluted password system, even though the logic was questionable. Since the game allows for 1 or 2 or 4 players at once, one could use their character(s) in different games. They could take their characters anywhere to play at their friend’s place if they had a copy of the game. Aside from that, I liked the game then and I still like it now. It’s Wizardry Lite, and I don’t mind. Even though they got the concept of armor class completely wrong. lol

The Acclaim double wireless controller was utter garbage if you had a television that used a wireless remote control. Both operated on the same wavelength.
