Paulrus' List of Video Game Commercials

Because Paulrus likes to make lists. The only order they are in is the order in which they came to mind.

List items

1. The Legend of Zelda

Because if I didn't have this one on the list, I would be hit in the face with a brick. In a sock. With nails.

I like this ad because it doesn't sugar coat anything. "This is a game where you watch girls bounce in bikinis. Masturbate."

I don't miss the 90's sense of "rad." At all. Too much hip-hop-pop and zig-zags.
13. Tetris

<pre><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ZV9IlTJcIg?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ZV9IlTJcIg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></pre>

"Tripping with attitude"? Look, Mr. 90's Marketer, I know it would be hard to sell a game like Yoshi's Story by telling it how it is (a nauseatingly happy toddler's book vomited onto a stack of construction paper) but why did you feel the need to try to make everything seem "radical"?
16. Hey You, Pikachu!

<pre><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXrqhaBbe4A?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXrqhaBbe4A?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></pre>

This is your Nintendo commerical. This is your Nintendo commercial mashed with a Dire Straights video. This is the result dipped in fear, hatred, and the most malformed beings of the Uncanny Valley. Welcome to Hell. You cannot beat us.
18. Super Smash Bros.

How to make a modern video game commercial: slow motion, no audio but the music, tells a story, said music actually reflects the atmosphere of the commercial.
