Do you know Nintendo? How about these rare Nintendo video promos, hmm?
History, my friends. If you fail to learn from it, you’re doomed to repeat it. Let’s hope who ever made these ancient Nintendo commercials learned to make better ones… or at least less cringe-worthy ones.
Below you’ll find 6 rare promos not seen since the 1990s contributed by NeoGaf forumite jjgames, videos at one time used to advertise the likes of Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, the Super Game Boy, and the famed 1990 Nintendo Championships. You’ll also find within these videos is the day-glow fashion sense of early 90s teens and kids. I’ll admit it, I rocked that back in the day; heck, I kind of do right now. Enough fashion mumbo-jumbo though, let’s get to watching.

Although, you will find a notable amount of nerdiness in the following Walyou stories such a 8 under-appreciated videogames from the 1980s and a new dynamic keyboard from Fremont.
