Nintendo Power Magazine Commmercial

[Ezio3946]

this commercial scared the crap out of me as a 4 year old

[DrBuffaloBalls]

Acid trip

[pockuinator]

Major SEIZURE WARNING here...

[animation831]

why was mario buff?????????????

[shtzandgigglesfilms]

thats one weird commercial lol well i guess it wouldnt be if we were back in the eightys

[monty4213]

Very cool! I remember watching this as a kid and asking my mom to get it for me and then her yelling...NO!!! Lol I'm glad I grew up during the 80's in my opinion it was the greatest decade for a kid to grow up in. My kids don't have half the stuff and options I did back then. Everything now a days is garbage and everything is about money.... Very very sad.

[TeraChimera]

He blew up the world, but at least he knows how to beat his games.

[Fireaxe888]

Drugs are bad, mmkay?

[angeldeb82]

This is so WOW! Kyle Justin (the Guitar Guy) did a cover of that in the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on that magazine! Sweet.

[MonsieurPineapple]

With that much explosions, that has to be good.

[MonsieurPineapple]

With that much explosions, that has to be good.

[TheAndyman1000]

Ah 80's through 90's video game commercials where everything would explode. Those were the days.

[SuperDJIsAwesome]

AVGN's version is of the song better than the original.

[Neacreo]

o crap. i never knew i had the power. i use it every day O.o

[asnaes]

I used to have the power. Good times.

[xxColin]

why the HELL does everything just blow up

[DeviledEgginator]

The newer issues actually aren't bad for what they are. I can understand how some people feel about how different it is now. I agree. Thanks to the internet, the original purpose of Nintendo Power is lost.

[jamaicasgodson2125]

that number isnt working for me.......i want to get power now damn it

[theretrogamerno1]

avgn's version of this song is better

[TheSpeedDawg]

Does anyone remember the creepy ads in the magazine?

[DeMarki81]

I recently bought issues 1-127 from ebay, best purchase ever!

[chris2011378]

7 people didn't get the power

[video752]

wow i wished they have ads on tv nowadays..i just started getting NP last year.

[IrishKeshiHead]

looks like mario just grew more than expected.. his trousers strap snapped off

[BlountDucks9]

MAGRUBER!

[ferrellcm]

called that number. Some lady answered wanting me to do some nasty stuff to her. lol

[cuconuchiha]

My Bro got the power just for the strategy guides. :D

[Kenbrick11]

Now we is playing with power!

[SmashGenesis]

I think my head just asploded.

[MajkaTVboi]

i had the power from 2000 to 2009

[clananik]

they really new how to sell stuff in the eighties

[spindalis79]

I had the Power from 1991-96.... I also had the Game Guide, Mario Mania, some Zelda guide and something else if I remember correctly.

[BoredAlways]

MIND=BLOWN

[maotico]

I love how avgn spoofed this

[DrNo0Entertainment1]

This magazine is now full of dumbasses I mean the readers mostly because they sound like 10 year olds in the pulse section and hoffman is aslo a dumbass

[LedSatriani]

@DrNo0Entertainment1

I agree. What happened to all the game tips and cool stuff? I mean, I still like the magazine, but I find myself skipping through it a lot to get to interesting stuff.

[yoshibones]

ERG-BOOT

[Pokebob1]

They should of said at the end "Now you're playing with power! NINTENDO POWER!"

[TheLoadingScreenz]

Nintendo Power should put this commercial back on the air, it would get them a lot of more subscribers. :P

[alanboro]

This commercial is sega style, with cool music,, guys with sunglasses playing or being "cool", standin there and stuff...

I don´t know if this commercial was at the same time when sega gensis hit the markets, but it is obvious that they tried to change the NES image and make it more segaish

[nerfman2227]

7 people tried to recreate this ad and ate their issues of the 'power

[KombatGod]

"Higher and higher, fighting your way trough ennnemy fire!"

[legoguy151]

this was pre-internet

[93bendzsi]

most of the games made so hard cuz they wanted to buy these magazines and these turbo controllers

[CLOCKWISE689]

can some one just SHUT THIS EFFING COMMERCIAL GUY UP!!!

[krisfrosz133]

I feel so hyped when he said, "higher and higher, fighting your way through enemy fire!"

[MrFrostingbutt]

pff nintendo power now isnt as cool as it was back then

im still sending them high scores but they refuse to publish my high score on ssbb

[blackghostcat]

lol i called the number it just kept ringing,,,,,

[boy82killer]

"get the nintendo power 12 times a year" is that suppose to be a joke?

[Pokebob1]

The ending should of said:

"Now you're playing with power. NINTENDO POWER!"

[gundrag000]

lol all kid's brain are blowed up. were kids dead

[Jimpiedepimpie]

The angry video game nerd version is cooler.

But.

When you got this.

You had the power.

[yoyoguylol]

avgn's song version is better

[simplyxwilliam]

@yoyoguylol i agree

[Soniman032]

gotta love the late 80s and early 90s

[PaulThePuppetier]

higher and higher...

[SuperTacoMan100]

Nintendo fail? Angry Video Game Nerd Win?

[Nessthegreat]

This commercial is way cool.

[rescuehero942]

[romzom666]

I actually have issue 2 of volume 1

[HoboBob24]

I've had the Power since issue 178, I just got 252 an hour ago!

[TheRoxasfan]

i can describe that in only one word "Epic!"

[TheRoxasfan]

@xNicktheStick so true

[Dragooble]

Radical. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

[Dragoonknight717]

I have the Power.

NINTENDO POWER!

[asnaes]

I had the power from 1986-1995.

[CartoonBlast229z]

@asnaes actually its from 1986-present

[nanakii85]

@asnaes I still have the power :P

[trogdorrules]

That magazine is fucking insane. He blows up the planet by eating it, stay away from that shit man!

[ShockTH456]

I love how he eats the magazine and causes the TV to explode followed by his house and then the entire planet. Jesus, that is one awesome magazine.

[WaddleBuff]

I subbed to them and their 250th issue just came out last month

[TheOfficialBackBrace]

[gogetavsvegito]

[zeppelingitis]

I'm glad the production value and overall entertainment factor of commercials has gone since the 90's.

[RodvyVideo]

FUCK YEAR

[jonpaze]

[NekoSOM]

Not 90s, 80s. 1986, to be exact.

[Mapleholic]

Yeah NIGGGA!!

[Bardock257]

This is quite possibly the greatest commercial of all time.

[Blackdragon52k]

This brings me back. God im full of Nostalgia right now.

Why, cause I HAD the power.

[TBTabby]

Does anybody else remember the ad that ran right after this one? It showed a call-in show for video game strategies. A called called in with "How do I get from World 3 to World--" when the host cuts him off and tells him to subscribe to Nintendo Power. There was also a panel taking calls made up entirely of muscular Marios like the one in this ad.

[SUPERFOX5]

I love Nintendo Power magazine, but for some reason, my subscription got screwed up and now I can't get anymore new ones.

I am hoping to renew soon next year.

[wmmpictures]

do you have the power?

DO YOU HAVE THE POWER????

do you want the clues that you can use while fighting your way through enemy fire...

get the power.......of nintendo

:D

[Vugam]

Your TV goes crazy and starts to jump over the room. A guy with black hair and sunglasses tells you to get the power. Tons of game images cross your TV screen in three seconds. The guy eats the magazine, his head blows up. The guy plays. His TV, his house and the whole world explodes. Another series of tons of game images in 3 seconds. The TV goes normal again. A countdown that holds on the 12. The guy falls due to the weight of the magazines. Mario smashes your TV. Hotline appears. Awesome.

[gregmarle]

i like the avgn spoof

[momamario]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS

XTREEEEEEEEEME!

[NekoSOM]

They just don't make commercials like they used to...

[Kingofhearts3d]

[Shack11]

NINTENDO POWE- *head asplodes*

Darn old NP..

[madrocker138]

the angry video nerd makes fun of this commercial just search avgn nintendo power

[theuglybarnacle]

When I first saw this commercial in the 80's, my head exploded.

[MinaseTakix]

Awesome.

[videogamelovergirl12]

i bet when kids first saw this ad,they ordered nintendo power and said:

why isnt my tv jumping around?why dont i see mario with big biceps breaking my tv?

[WebVMan]

WHAT?!! 6 FREE guides for $15!!! GEEZ! I pay $20 now and don't get any freebies unless I spend hundreds on Wii and DS games.

[MrSuperhomarbros]

mario at the end funny

[wolfkingy2k]

[videogamelovergirl12]

[SuperJak225]

[Scike]

Nintendo power used to be my whole life when I was a kid.  Loved the Howard and Nester comic especially.

[GameGenie710]

Classic on-acid Nintendo commercial :)

[FuriousThoughts]

holy shit

[blackberrydude1]

PLEASE REPLY!! Does Nintendo Power still come with posters??

[nintentrick]

Yes they still do.

[HoboBob24]

They haven't for, like, two years now. I miss those things :(

[Simpsonsman120]

it hasn't been two years, but it has been a while.

[HoboBob24]

It's been that long since a good one :\

[crazyzach5]

So, if I eat it, the world will explode? That's not good.

[Donnyvoon]

uhhhh what the hell did I just see?

[BrawlFanMario]

lol, you guys should see the Angry Video Game Nerd do the review for this! its funny as!

[xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx]

Lol I know it's awesome.

[jasonjinx]

wow.....

[SongsAndLyrics1]

someone should call....

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

Mario is so buff, he has the ability to punch his way out of his game universe and into ours

[FrogTesticle]

Amazing commercial..!!!!

[gthec9909]

i subscribed to nintendo power, and i havent regretted it since.

[Tmancubs33]

same dude

[ocarina59]

Oh yeah and it's got shades and kickass explosions !!boooukkkkmmmkk!!!!

[ocarina59]

Every advert now should be like this. Instead of being all fancy and trying to be arty or something, spending tons of money on adverts that hardly work. Now this is an advert that gets to the point and just shouts at you.

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Yeah, nothing says "buy me" for a magazine like eating pages of it, causing the world to blow up.

Seriously, commercials used to be cool, now they're trying to act as if they're 30-second movies. (I heard that advertisers get a higher budget than movie and television producers. That's just sad.)

[Swampert384]

@CrazyCheeseMagee That last bit is, as you said, both sad, and shocking.

[tomtalkalot]

thats hard core shit right there

[elabezero]

Im Subscribed To It

[NintendosAdvocate2]

I've subscribed to Nintendo Power ever since the Super Mario Bros. 3 strategy guide. I've loved it ever since and I don't plan on EVER cancelling my subscription.

[arasta9999]

ha ha, i had that smb3 strategy in the mail for subscribing i think. but that was in 1990 when i was like 9.

[tnpan]

This is why I miss old commercials. It was fucking madness, and it still advertized its product. I mean a kid eats a magazine, and the world blows up. Holy shit.

[Skullomonkey]

nintendo power is that awesome. they can make the world fucking explode. you got to be a stupid not to like em...

[Guyver5182]

I like the AVGN version better. It's fucking awesome.

[SensitiveRosecloud]

Nintendo power logo seizures!

[PatsWorld76]

I HAD THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spudfish93]

blow up your T.V. blow up your house, blow up the world . Get nintendo power

[KHayes666]

will it make me grow claws?

[VirtualBoy500]

Best moment: Mario on steroids breaking through a cardboard TV set.

That's some fucking Nintendo Power!!

[Smampman]

The AVGN one is way better XD

I love this add!

You got the power!

Nintendo powweerrr!

[Apemopo]

[dethklok2354]

[RampagingRex]

I've Got The Power. Do You?

[gthec9909]

wow, that was the worst commercial i ever saw. but np is awesome, so i still gave it a 5 star rating.

[tnpan]

Anyone get that letter from NP with Samus on it, and it says

"RENEW NOW

OR ELSE!"

I did. That caught me by complete suprise.

[Skullomonkey]

You better renew or the world will explode XD

[RampagingRex]

This is the greatest magazine ever. I'm working on getting the very first issue and I'm very close!

[SUPERFOX5]

That is very rare to find, I am hoping to find it too.

[Ng0zT]

Lesson learned: Explosions sell

[kiba4650]

I am subscibed to them, they are awesome still

[tinykicksass]

not as awesome as they used to be though

[spnogre]

did he say $15 wow not its $29 for a year i think :)

[Chebangchebang]

0:28 WOW! MARIO TV!!

[tubeview96]

The AVGN did a much better version than this

[YourAverageJoey]

One of the few times his special effects were actually better than the thing he imitated.

[Skullomonkey]

and thats an achievement unlocked 9001 wii points gained

[YourAverageJoey]

Sweet, now I can buy that DLC for Space Invaders: Get Even.

[GodOfRessurrection]

Second

[NorwegianChris]

[thatzombieguy]

[MoseyBurns]

Did he just eat that magazine?

[Blackdragon52k]

Yeah, then it escaped via bursting out of his head.

[warlord90210]
