Video Games Ads: Post 'Em

$

I thought I'd make this thread for if anyone wants to post up some video game advertisments and commercials. The weirder, funnier and/or more obscure, the better.

I'll start with a few SNES and Game Boy commercials from over here starring the sadly recently deceased Rik Mayall. For those who don't know him too well (ie. most people outside the UK) he was a comedian and actor who was very popular for helping to push "alternative comedy" into the mainstream with shows like The Young Ones and Bottom, both of which were very absurd and very violent.

I'm assuming Nintendo hired him for their ad campaign to try and give themselves a bit of an edge and shed their "kiddy" image, although I don't think it worked too well since Sega continued to dominate the console market in the UK as far as I remember.
