Found this on youtube 14 mins of rather high quality game ads from japan from the 70's-80's, everyone might enjoy seeing stuff they might have not seen before.
Haha, I thought exactly the same for Kirbys...ALthough it was supposed to be another game which got reskinned as Kirby, right? Maybe the watched the advert and got the idea!
The Japanese Dreamcast adverts were some of my favourite, so much humour and originality.
I love the series with Sega's old director Yukawa and they are definitley worth checking out if you can understand Japanese (and possibly even if you don't). This site breaks the story down well.http://www.giantbomb.com/hidekazu-yukawa/72-90306/
This Sega Rally 2 one though, is funny in any language.
Seeing these old adverts reconfirms my belief that the best gaming years were the early 1990s. It's a pity at the time I didn't savour them more, instead always looking to the future and next big thing. Now I keep looking back.
