hahahaha yeah the graphics are amazing!!!

omg

If only I could bust rhymes like that.....

i find it sad that they put such a sterotypical looking nerd in the commercial. no wonder gamers get such a nerdy rep lol

Well, come ON. LOOK @yourself! You're clearly a nerd!

Would you excuse me?

*goes to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the 100th time*

Hey...I never said I wasn't a nerd.

Shut the hell up, you spoiled '90s kids!

isn't that how we all looked back then? And we all wanted to be a cool as the guy in the jean jacket

That commercial reminds me of a time when no one cared about being politically correct and everyone was happier.

Everytime someone worries about being politically correct a magical fairy should descend from the skies and give them a mandatory certificate for free dance lessons.

The world would be a better place.

i have a video on my website that uses an old nintendo commercial.

i miss my little gray box. *sniff* i miss my childhood too.

Aw but the patent or whatever ran out. There was a news post a few weeks ago about some new system that plays old nintendo games with wireless controllers and what not. So you can replay all your old games.

I hope they kept that awesome 'you have to blow in the game and the system 343255243241142252 times to get the thing to fucking work' feature. That was rad.

My goodness.
The rap was weak but hey now THAT was Xbox, Playstation and even Sega's daddy.
Atari just sucked.

I think I need to hook mine up, with my parents help of course.

Anyone else ever had problems with them cartridges, like...you had to

Blow outside for any dust, once inserted, banging it so you can finally see the whole picture or running your finger on the side to make it work?

Sounds dirty but for real.

+1

word ^.

What does political correctness have to do with a video game commercial?

Almost nothing. But it does have something to do with the post I quoted. The word you're looking for "context".

mine actually had to be blown and double-stuffed before it would work.

I'm pretty sure there is an entire generation aboot 24 who, if you gave them an electronic device that didn't work, they'd instinctivly blow on it. It's in our genes now.
also I miss mario 2, and stoned duck hunt

Sounds hot.

wow....and i loved that thing...lol...that was priceless
