I'd be at home, in front of the TV, probably with a bowl of cereal after school, watching the Disney Afternoon... I loved Darkwing Duck the most. And Duck Tales. Dammit, what the fuck do kids watch these days?!

Man, this is great. Its hard to believe how game ads have gone from all in game footage to no game footage. Makes you think publishers are hiding something from unknowing consumers (shitty graphics and or gameplay).

That is totally the guy from all the monster truck ads. The marketing gurus for Nintendo at that time knew what they were doing.

i remember this ad. it didn't seem THAT long ago.
funny thing is i bought the game before i even saw the ads. i bought the game immediately when it came out for the SNES.

"FAST AND WAY TOO FAST" isn't FAST slow then? :P

To this day my friends and I scream "GIANT MUD PIT" when appropriate (playing Mario Kart, raining weather, seeing a giant mud pit, etc). Although we're a bit more dramatic than the commercial...I could have sworn they emphasized it more.

Cruel, cruel memory...

Neat - I never see commercials for those monster truck rallies any more. I went to a couple when I was a kid - are they still doing that?

On another note - can someone post a link to the OoT CM that was posted in error and the first half of the posters were talking about? :) Now my curiosity is piqued.

Conan soundtrack is still one of the best, I hope they've got a hold of it for the Conan MMO. If they did Nintendo Kart DD style with a host of themed karts and tracks I might never leave the house again.

I remember seeing that advert on the day that Zelda came out. I was 10, and it was my birthday, and I was waiting for my Dad to come home with my copy of the game.

I was bouncing off the walls with anticipation. I played it for hours on end that day. It's still one of my favourite games.

And that's my little story about the sexist OoT advert.

Hey! thats Zelda!

By the way It was a cool 1992 commercial but YOU KNOW THE "Will you get the girl or PLAY LIKE ONE?" line would NEVER EVER make it to TV in today's super PoliticallyCorrect world.

Ahhhh PCness.. lets everyone pretend like we're all decent human beings while in the background humanity is rotting to the core.

Have a nice day!

I've been saying for years that the Mario Kart franchise needs to become Nintendo Kart and include characters from all their games like Smash Bros does. It also gives loads more scope for innovative track designs too.
