- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52How dare you distort the phrase "title says it all." I'm on to you.
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44Wow. I remember this a lonnnng time ago.....prolly in between episodes of "Hey Dude" or "Salute Your Shorts" on Nickelodeon.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30the subject of which is contained in the aforementioned heading
- tony134340, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Geek fact: The Wizard was pretty much a commercial for Mario 3. One of the dudes from Salute Your Shorts and the girl from the Wizard are in a band called Rilo Kiley a couple ex-child stars.
I was unsure of the time span you mentioned so something I came across while googling. Yeah, I'm bored this morning. - CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15They should do a sequel commercial to this for mario galaxy.
- NipGrip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15That was totally tubular and radical to the max.
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Let's not forget about Super Mario Kart:

- ZWash300, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I don't seem to remember Mario being a fascist dictator...
- jacobmiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I think the japanese ads are too funny:

Rofl, that just made my day. DY-NO-MITE! - ginrummy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's like a monster truck rally commercial.
- TimDub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Classic. One of my favorites, next to the creepy guy in the dark halls yelling "Zelda!?"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Genesis Does.. what Nintendon't!!"
Yeah... they cause their company to withdraw entirely from the console wars. Must've been too much BLAST PROCESSING!!! - jacobmiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3dude, the eighties were freaking awesome... I mean, would anyone today be able to make something as awesomme as this?

This video isn't even posted in the right area(should be in videos). So you want another section? - shm0edawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@tony134340
Yeah Donkey Lips is in that band! hahahahaha..... - kewlito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Best youtube comment:
Google Earth (beta) - safacles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone else notice all the kids in this commercial are white? Doubt that could fly today.
- thekauf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here is the original commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvIeU_1x46M
I seriously thought when I saw that commercial that all i would have to do is ask nintendo for mario 3 and I would get it. - MrFlesh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This commercial debuted the same day "The Wizard" came out. This was the *****....anyone got a link to the joe montana sega commercials............you know "Genesis does" "16-bit Arcade Power".....yeah those were the days. Back when games took effort
- MosaicM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mario!
- traviscaruth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*dugg*
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Ewwwww, the 80's were like, grody!
- jdb252, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Now you're playing with power!
- daridave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, me too.
Still remember it, however in french (live in Quebec)... they said "l'union fait la force", which translates to "union is power". Being a kid and loving Mario so much back then, I followed that line as if it was a friendly tip (and it is), ahaha...
Anyway, man that game was and still is good. awesome. lemme go play... - ZoomBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ6E6wQW0-U
Genesis Does.. what Nintendon't!! - hammerton1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was seriously an awesome commercial but I just hate... that guy in the blue shirt at the VERY beginning, man...just don't like the way he looks.
- MatthewDoucette, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Crazy how clearly I remember this...
- thekauf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is weak. They left out the "all you had to do was ask" part.
- Brandondork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember that commerical, and buying it... back when life was simple
- tony134340, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Awesome. That was back when Nintendo were gods. Not to say they're not still awesome but then they remained mostly unchallenged. Not that the other consoles sucked, but there was no stopping the Nintendo train. I love retro-video game commercials. They're so bad.
- Jamfan16, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@jacobmiller - The second that video started playing I immediately thought "This deserves to be remade as a WoW fan video."
- EnigmaEndurer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, I have to admit that guy is annoying.
- psbpv3o, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1rad.
- homesickalien, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Wow! I remember seeing that tv ad not long after I received my first issue of "Nintendo Power"

- Albandf, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I love Mario
- RobbieS, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Didn't I see this on Kotaku first?
- flazz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3no, right thread, wrong website, this site is full of nerds, and the 80s we're the promised land for nerds.
- scuzzman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3*wrong thread...*
- CannedCorn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1is that guy saying wintendo at the end?
- kyoung989, on 10/12/2007, -13/+7I think there should be a "Nostalgia" section on Digg for these topics. They're fun to watch, but I'd much rather have CURRENT events hit the front page.
- gameface247, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah g-d the 80's were bizarre
