I'm sure some people here think it's blasphemy, but I loved the Dreamcast commercials with all the CG characters in there. To me those were a lot of fun and I think they gave the system a strong brand. I knew when I was seeing a Dreamcast commercial. Though they could have used more game footage.

I liked those commercials too. They gave off a real solidarity vibe like the Dreamcast lineup was a team effort or something. I would be in a store and I would recognize almost all of the launch games from that commercial just because I had seen the character on the cover in the commercial. More game footage would have been better but at least the focus was on the games instead of some unrelated skit or something (remember the Cube launch ads that focused on people living in Cubes instead of, you know, the games). I always thought Sega had great commercials. The problem with the Saturn is that the games the commercials were trying to sell weren't that great and the really awesome Saturn games were either obscure or were never brought over from Japan. The problem with the Dreamcast is that those commercials just stopped abruptly. I never saw a commercial for PSO, Shenmue, or Sonic Adventure 2 for example.

I would show a guy watching a screen in the store that has a sign that says XBOX360 on it. the tv would be showing the zelda preview. the guy would be smiling, holding an xbox and petting it.

then an employee would walk over and say "oops, wrong channel" and change it to some xbox thing.

"what was that?"

"Oh, that was zelda, for gamecube only"

guy looks at tv, at xbox, tv, xbox, vision of link shooting arrows from horseback. drops the xbox, grabs the game and runs out.

second employee to the first
"that's so mean, you shouldn't tease them like that."

The commercial should open with some nice gameplay footage. then it zooms out to show a TV and a GC. The camera moves to show Reggie playing. He smiles, then winks and then it cuts to the game logo as "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess only for Nintendo Gamecube." is said by Reggie.

Or it could have gameplay footage switching with footage of a running wolf. Then, after a bit of that the wolf turns in to Reggie and he says, "Don't tell me you're disapointed."

COMMERCIAL #1
Kid (about 4ft 3in tall) walks into gamestore. Kid picks up xb360 box off shelf and proceeds to counter.
[First-person view from kid] Kid can barely see over the counter, slowly looks up. Notices a Twilight Princess t-shirt worn by the large person behind the counter. Camera/kid proceeds to look up at person, revealing the face to be REGGIE'S.
[Reggie says] "Don't make me do it, I'll take your name!"
[Camera focuses on kids face] The kid's jaw drops out of fear and he drops his 360. 6 seconds of Zelda footage ensues, ending with the title/logo and bolts of lightning.

COMMERCIAL #2
[Camera focused on brick wall] REGGIE BREAKS THRU THE BRICK WALL, WITH A LIMITED EDITION TWILIGHT PRINCESS RETAIL BOX IN HIS HANDS.
[Reggie says] ENERGIZER, OI!!

best commercials ever made

although the "wilst thou suck" line kind of ruined the mood, but these one were just awesome, I remember I was totally hyped up after seeing the first one, and keep in mind that Ive never played a Zelda game before OoT (Im a Zelda n00b >_<! ) but these adds told me that the game was going to blow me away, and it certainly did. I wish I could find them somewhere, the only one I have is the one shown in theaters

this is all that the TP commercial needs to be, no silly vs-x360 comparisons, I think thats just tacky.

Thats the only one I could find. But they do have almost every other Zelda commercial there.

That site is so much fun to browse.

Woah what's with the Great Fairy in those screenshots!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #34 on:** June 14, 2005, 04:55:24 PM »

Why, that's the original design of the Great Fairy before Nintendo went slutty-boy-eater.

stevey · « **Reply #35 on:** June 14, 2005, 05:07:29 PM »

woah! A great fairy that look like like it's great not sluty (come on what with the mark on the lip the 1950 are over)

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #36 on:** June 14, 2005, 05:50:04 PM »

I have a feeling that It will be like the FF:CC commercial (the feel, etc. not the actually setting and stuff)....Although I think there should be hilarity, this doesnt seem like the game to do it with.

mantidor · « **Reply #37 on:** June 14, 2005, 06:06:25 PM »

LOL you people didnt know about the awesome fairy? it was one of my favorite things on the commercial, so needless tosay I spend a lot of time looking for her, to find out later she was removed from the game

KDR_11k · « **Reply #38 on:** June 14, 2005, 08:15:11 PM »

You know, I think many people wouldn't have complained about Navi if she looked as cute as the fairies in the 2d games...

mantidor · « **Reply #39 on:** June 15, 2005, 06:43:37 AM »

why people complain so much about poor Navi? personally I think that the design of the fairys in OoT and MM rocked, and I didnt find Navi annoying, the owl was the annoying one, not only what he said was kind of obvious, if I wasnt carefull I ended up reading the whole thing again since the default option was to "hear again what he said" >_<

stevey · « **Reply #40 on:** June 15, 2005, 08:30:06 AM »

THE OWL IS THE BEST PART OF OOT! NAVI ALL WAY SAY GO THERE GO THERE GO THERE I KNOW YOU F-ING RETARTED FAIRY!

"so needless tosay I spend a lot of time looking for her, to find out later she was removed from the game"

So do you know were the fairy the give you the 3rd magic is? I found fire, wind, + magic, + heath, but not the last one?(ps. were is the ice arrow?)

mantidor · « **Reply #41 on:** June 15, 2005, 01:20:56 PM »

The ice arrow is in the Gerudo's training site, Nayru's love is in the Gerudo desert between two palms, is easy to spot where to put the bomb, and yes that fairy isnt the awesome discraded fairy. oh and the owl still sucks and Navi rocks!

IceCold · « **Reply #42 on:** June 15, 2005, 01:37:05 PM »

I hate them both, although at least you could skip Navi's comments or ignore them. The owl just went on and on, even if you had heard it before. And at the end, they had two different questions; "Do you understand?" and "Do you want to hear it again". So you could never know which one it was going to be, and many times I pressed the wrong one. The damn owl should keep the same question lol.

And the Great Fairy scared me in that leopard suit

TMW · « **Reply #43 on:** June 15, 2005, 02:55:26 PM »

I can't stand the Great Fairy's laugh.

OMFG it grates on my nerves so bad, I'm resorting to AOL-speek.

mantidor · « **Reply #44 on:** June 15, 2005, 03:02:04 PM »

LOL you people... so... the commercial! I cant wait, Nintendo has changed from past crazy commercials and I personally liked the direction they are taking, I know the MP2 didnt have much gameplay but the whole concept was very cool.

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #45 on:** June 15, 2005, 03:47:44 PM »

OH I <3 THE GREAT FAIRY, especially the one in OoT

I don't know why, but she was teh roxorz. (I giggled at her laugh) Anyways, I'm really looking forward to how the commercial will turn out, and I HOPE that I will see it more often than I did minish cap, and other game commercials.

Oh, I forgot.......

I MISS NAVI *cries* I loved her, HEY LISTEN!!! =D

nickmitch · « **Reply #46 on:** June 15, 2005, 03:51:05 PM »

I was about to watch the OoT commercial that TMW had linked to and as I went to turn up the volume on my computer Maxwell's fortunate started playing!
It was weird 'cause all I saw was gamefootage and hearing "Fortunate to have you girl; I'm so glad you're in my world" was awkward.

stevey · « **Reply #47 on:** June 15, 2005, 04:19:44 PM »

THE OWL CAN'T SUCK YOU SUCK!!!
I like the owl for the music not for what it say buy for the do...do..do.dododo.do

"I MISS NAVI *cries* I loved her, HEY LISTEN!!! =D "

HEY LISTEN TO MY FART!!!

jasonditz · « **Reply #48 on:** June 16, 2005, 06:30:25 AM »

I'm sure Kaepora Gaebora doesn't appreciate being called "the owl" all the time.

Anyhow, I think any Zelda commercial should not be directed at us. We're going to buy it anyhow.
