  • This is a compilation of commercials for NES games and hardware that ran on American television between 1986 and 1994. If you grew up in the states in the 80s or 90s, there's a good chance you'll remember a great many of these!
    Nintendo. Now you're playing with power.
    The files themselves were culled from a number resources over the years. I unfortunately can't source a few of them because I saved them to an old hard drive years ago, but several of them came from the now defunct NES Times and Emuparadise sites.
    Many apologies for the dodgy video quality...a lot of these are transfers from thirty-year-old VHS recordings, and the quality of video recorded on magnetic media doesn't tend to improve with age. I've done some heavy filtering and color rebalancing here, but there's really no way of disguising the age of the material.
    I hope you enjoy the video! This was such a nostalgic rush to put together.
    And for everyone that has requested it, I've finally done a follow-up collection of SNES commercials. Here you are! • SNES TV Commercials (1...

    Man how can I not love this.... I was born in the perfect era, I had Atari 2600 by age 5, searched far and wide in 1986 for a Nintendo Entertainment System before I FINALLY got one (still have it, works fine). Even got the Top Loader in '93. There was NOTHING better than hanging out with friends (sleepovers or just hanging out) playing NES all day (and sometimes night), best times ever.

    I'm now 46 years old and Nintendo was the best thing in my life when it first came out. My brother and I wanted this system so bad but my family was a little poor.....not crazy poor but just middle class and my Pop always provided for us and payed the bills and fed us and worked really hard. So when Nintendo came out we got the hand me downs like the Atari 2600 from family friends that knew we couldn't afford it. We were happy with the Atari. We'd then visit other kids houses and watch them play NES but never could play. Most kids were pretty stingy about not letting my brother and I play. It sucked and hurt but what can you expect from kids. Our next door neighbors got a system and we used to go over and just watch them play Super Mario Bros. and Pro Wrestling and when we asked if we could play they always said later but never. Another friend of the family got a system and he'd let us play a few times but it still hurt because we loved video games. Finally my Pop told my brother and I that if we'd make the A, B honor roll in school in our report card for the next period in combination with keeping up with our chores and keeping our room clean, he promised he'd get us a Nintendo. So we worked very hard and did it. We both got A B honor roll in our report cards and as soon as we came home we were itching so bad for our Pop to come home from work. We saw him drive up and we greeted him and shoved our report cards in his face like animals and he was like...Calm down. He looked at them, then looked at my Mom with a smile and grin and said, "I'm proud of you boys." Then said, let me go to the bathroom first and meet me outside at the truck. He drove us to the Toy's R Us and we walked in that store so excited and he said get your Nintendo. We picked the ticket and he paid for it and walked over to the pick up room and we left with our Nintendo Entertainment System that was finally ours!!! So fucking Awesome. We only had Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt for a few months but that was okay with me as we humbled ourselves to finally play our video games in peace in our own room with my Pop playing with us as well. He loved video games as well. These commercials were so awesome as I was living life in this era and it was so very nostalgic and meant something to me. Fast forward to 2020 I have every single game I have always wanted but never had, every played, rented, etc. and every accessory and multiple systems that I have learned to repair and it feels great. Fuck all the stingy kids that made my brother and I feel like crap. As old as I am that still stings as a bad dumb memory sad to say but I now have the funds to collect everything I want as a kid and now have. Sorry the for long story but I just felt like I needed to share this story in anyone out there felt this way etc. lol. So Fucking ey.....so I now tell my kids that I was in a gang back in the day. I sport my fingers and say with a Mexican accent..."I'm N.E.S. 4 LIFE!!!" lol ...Thanks for posting this wonderful video! A+++

      Kids were definitely stingy back then with their Nintendo... We got one in 87 for Christmas though it was my gift I knew it was for me and my brother as he got the 13" color TV that year. Our parents knew we would have to learn how to share because he had the TV and I had the Nintendo lol... Pro wrestling, Contra, Super Contra,Mike Tyson's punch out,Rc Pro Am,man me and my bro had a blast. Luckily for me he grew out of playing games so two or three years later I wind up being the one getting the Super Nintendo all to myself and that's when I really started playing games like Zelda final fantasy and RPG games and I've never looked back

      Mega Man and Castlevania are great examples of games that are hard but fun so you'd keep trying to beat them even if you kept losing. The gameplay of Billy is so boring and tedious that it was easy to stop playing and return the game and forget all about it.
