Favorite videogame commercial?
#42
There was this particular Megaman poster that served more as a parody of those "bombastic" style of announcements rather than legit advertisimet, but I still believe it fits here.

Translation and footnotes by Miðgarðsorm from the SRK forums:

  1. Hadōman. Pretty self-explanatory.
  2. Kumoman. Kumo is “spider”.
  3. Taichōman. Taichō is, well, “commanding officer”.
  4. Dokuman. Doku is “poison”.
  5. Oirokeman. Iroke is “sexy”.
  6. Mr. Mon ami. French for “my friend”, but I imagine everyone knows Gambit’s way of speaking.
  7. Nagehameman. Nage is “throws” and hame “loves”.
  8. Merikenman. Meriken is old Japanese for “America”.
  9. Nazo no Ninjarobo. “The mysterious ninja robot”.
  10. Tsumeman. Tsume is “claws”.
  11. “And again and again, strong enemies appear! Hold on, don’t lose, Megaman! We’re counting on you!”
  12. Includes all the original modes of the Plays"R"us¹ version! And, in the new animated intro, Megaman’s forgotten past becomes finally clear! And “HE” appears, at last!
    (compatible with the newly developed 1000MB expansion cartridge)
    ROCKMAN VERSUS DR. MARVEL
    (provisional title)
    2.29 on sale!² 6800 yen³
  13. Wow, I want to fight’em now!
And the small prints under Megaman’s speech balloon are all humorously self-contradictory, absurd or obvious statements:
• A tactic card battle for 2~8 players
• A fast loading and a pleasant play! H.S.A.⁴ system!
• Smooth vertical scrolling! S.T.S.⁵ system!
• Explosive input entry! D.C.I.⁶ system!
• Motion recognition password continue system

¹ A pun that mixes Playstation with Toys “R” us. A bit harsh these days…
² The fine print says “We’re sorry, the date got delayed”
³ The fine print says “We’re sorry, the price was raised”
⁴ High Speed Access.
⁵ Smooth Tate Scroll. Tate is Japanese for “vertical”.
⁶ Direct Command Input.
⁷ The Japanese し that inverts the J is a stroke of genius, lol.
