Nintendo Entertainment System - Toy's 'R' Us commercial (US)

[TheYoNate]

Honestly, again, the kid is kinda cute. :)

[TheYoNate]

Wait! No one was controlling Mario in the system offer part! POLGERGIEST!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheYoNate]

$79.97? Jesus! No wonder why it was such a huge hit!

[MrKryonix]

@TheYoNate accounting for inflation $80 back then is about $200 now.

[TheYoNate]

OK, this might be weird, but I don't care, but... I think the kid's kinda cute. :)

[PeTeEnStAcY]

positive this guy is a game freak, like me :L

[TheSleepClips]

$79.97 for the NES at Toys "R" Us in 1980s aren't similar to the same price with 2 cents more on the GBA SP in 2005 at the same place, dude. The Zapper got a near-20 since it's a controller for games like Duck Hunt..We hardly seen them today. As Fun Stuff Inc., we did, indeed.

[NesBoy1985]

@TheSleepClips Actually this is well after the NES launch. When it first came out in "85" there were 2 bundles one for 199.99 and one for 249.99

[four8split]

79.97 is a weird price lol

[Capitanvolume]

Lol, unopened super mario 3 goes for over 1000$ on ebay. If I would have known.

[TheParodyBomb]

I wish I could sell my PS3 in the 80's :(

[Chikunnism]

A game console for $80? Games for $30? Holy shitting nipple dicks, do want!

[240sx503]

@Chikunnism Gotta remember gas wasnt $4.00 a gallon either. in 1980 it was more like $1.00 a gallon

[GunManDamn]

@Chikunnism things were cheaper back then...

[WebVManReturns]

@Chikunnism Yeah, those were the good ol' days.

[anassgame]

Nice Ad

[apolanco602]

i just came back from toys r us they were sold out

[MrBrianTV1]

What year was this where the NES was $79?

[Teeg32]

Getting a NES at Toys-R-Us is in fact better than winning the Super Bowl. This is a COLD HARD FACT.

[Channypogosticks]

and its now onsale at the goodwill near you! for an amazing price of 79 cents, in fact no... ill pay you to have it!

[brimbles72]

80 bucks for a NES? damn.

[toyv1ru5]

I remember this like it was yesterday, man you were hi-tech back in the 80's, not to mention, that you were one of the "cool" kids on the block. GOOD TIMES! =)

[mrdanielcroker]

What a good deal!

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

Wonder how much this would be worth now

[radicalman33]

:18 it says batteries not included. i would NEVER buy an nes unless it came with the batteries

[ivertualgamer]

They should of had this advert for the Sega dreamcast.

[WebVMan]

I dreamed I won a copy of Tecmo Super Bowl and then dreamed I won the Super Bowl. That is a good dream.

[TeamRocketReviews]

Yeah Toys R Us... I'll never outgrow that place. It's still fun to go in there from time to time even though I'm a teen.

[See4]

Wow, this makes me miss my childhood. I wish games were still this cheap.

[wildsmiley]

Yeah fuck the super bowl. SNORE!! Play Tecmo Super Bowl on NES instead. (and I hate football, so I must really love TSB to recommend it!)

[TheArcCaster]

I had a better dream

A WET DREAM!

[T16Akatsuki]

@TheArcCaster I had a wet dream and it was this commercial

[thevideogamenerd100]

their NES system costed $79.97? my NES was $60.00 plus shipping and it came with 2 controllers, the Nintendo Zapper, and like 15 games

[moviereviews4life]

@thevideogamenerd100 Well you have to remember this was when it was brand new

[MrDynamoJoe]

Lol 'control deck.'

[MrDynamoJoe]

Lol 'control deck.'

[Xinn2000]

Has anyone else noticed that the NES looks smaller in the commercials than it does in person?

[Draknfyre]

Batteries? The NES basic set didn't use batteries. They must have been thinking of the Deluxe set with R.O.B. And the commercial shows the old time grey Zapper.

[cruz84azul]

Man Toy 'R' Us was WAAAAAAY better in the 80s...you could spead all day there playing with so many toys!!!!!! I miss those times!!!!!

[Frankfurtdabezzzt]

this thing is more expenive today

[didogazeto]

i dreamed busting balls of that guy

[cheder6]

Ha I OUTGROW you :D

[epicfacepanda]

little creepy 

[John231984]

Seperate lightgun??? MY nes came with the lightgun included.

[Back2DaFuture98]

@John231984 yeah they had 3 sets 1 had mario with the 2 controlers and 2 is the same with duck hunt and the gun and 3 is the ROB robot thing

[trueslugger]

@Back2DaFuture98 There were alot more than 3 system packages ( more like 7)

1.The Control Deck

2.The Deluxe Set

3.The Power Set.

4.The Challenge set

5.The Basic Set .

6.The Sports Set bundle

7.The NES Action Set

[Back2DaFuture98]

@trueslugger never heard of the last 4 the most common one is the action set

[trueslugger]

@Back2DaFuture98 Yes it was the most common! Just thought I would throw out some retro info!!!

[WebVMan]

NES pwned 2600, 5200, 7800, Master System, Colecovision, Odyssey, Odsyssey 2, Astrocade, Intellivision, Intellivison 2, Commodore 64, and so many Pong clones.

[outkastdashit]

batteries not included? what the hell would you need batteries for?

[John231984]

@outkastdashit Good question. And since I'm staring at my NES right now, I don't see any place to put batteries anyway.

[zeldafanful]

Nintendo ruled the fucking world back then.

[fumachuma]

why the fuck do i wanna bye batteries for my nintendo !

[GuyBelmont]

@Hittman305 hes right u know the prices were good

[kingamer19]

I'm 26 & still is a Toys'R'Us kid

[WebVMan]

@kingamer19 I'm 28 and I bought Poke'mon: Black at Toys R Us. I feel I'm only 8.......well I did until I saw a 10 year old buying something there. That made me feel old. Then I saw an 8-8 year old at Wal-Mart asking for COD: WaW. That made me feel like was 3.

[dormanbenton]

Interesting how this is nostalgia to my generation. Every gen. should have some nostalgia!

[RedLightBulbs]

Seriously? Is getting an NES really better than winning the Super Bowl?... What am I saying?! OF COURSE IT IS!

[WebVMan]

@RedLightBulbs Getting a NES with Tecmo Super Bowl is better than winning the real Super Bowl.

[hungryhippo247]

The first game console I bought with my own money!

[KaneRobot]

I like video games, but winning the Super Bowl is a better dream you dumb little shit.

[F3shotF]

I was playing Zelda, Excitebike, Teenage mutant Ninja turtles 1&2the arcade game, ice hockey and Tcmo Super Bowl yesterday!!' I love my NeS.. Also.. They NEVER DIE!!! cheap and almost indestructable. Lol

[F3shotF]

My parents got me one in 1987... Theyre the best parents ever! :)

[fumachuma]

@F3shotF i told my dad that i had that dream, when my dad came from work boom my first nes !!!!!! daing !!!! what a fucking great day !!! luv ya dad !

[hellspit2003]

80 bucks! cost me about 40 just to fill my gas tank...

[t3c4digital]

79.00 for a game console? would never happen now! lol Thats whats up

[cb19882000]

be a 360 fanboy on here or say nintendo sucks im freaking flagging you and kicking your ass

[earearman]

JUST 80 BUCKS??

wow

[LinksGamingHammerBro]

The NES should be 7999.66

[VideoGamingDog]

@LinksGamingHammerBro I'd still buy it.

[TeeStall]

@LinksGamingHammerBro or over 9000

[mariokart500]

Monitor and Batteries not included. >_>

[Lousypenguin]

Holy shit! I'd pay $29.99 for Zelda!

[andree1991]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLL­

[HowPettyful]

It's funny how back then, new games were 29.99. Now their $60. Is it rising production costs?

[DeliciousDave444]

@HowPettyful haha obviously. back then a game was like less than 3MB in size and could probably be made in a couple months. Now it takes years and millions of dollars

[EKmion]

@DeliciousDave444 months and years for a bunch of rubbish...

[Mycasa01]

@HowPettyful If you adjust to inflation, 29.99 dollars back then is about 59.99 dollars for today. So... no, nothing has changed.

[xXPandaTsubasaXx]

bet you $5 that kid is a drug addict now

[latintiger]

wow 80 bucks not bad lol

[EKmion]

@latintiger might round off to $200 now days which nintendos should be more than $50 on ebay should be 1000s cause people have bad taste in classics...

[latintiger]

@EKmion agreed

[swartsanager2]

if i was about the age of that kid who saw the big giraffe looking at me with smoke on the floor i wouldve been like "HOLY S#@!!!!!!! THERE'S A GIANT GIRAFFE IN THE TOY STORE!!!!!!!!!!!

[CelticsELITE]

that kid would rather have an NES then play in the nfl and win the superbowl while getting paid millions >.>

[MattTheSaiyan]

$147.66 for the system and game when adjusted for inflation....

[Murderwink1]

0:09 - 0:15

PedoGiraffe

[ttabbachino]

[RedMarioGreenLuigi]

[Unknownboi88]

[mikey1978416]

79.99...cheap!!!!!

[TheDutchGame]

"I dream I won the super bowl!" "I had a wetter dream" O_o'?

[cashdoggplayer]

wow too bad toys r us is dying if not completely dead

[SergeantLuke]

I had a better dream. I opened a door in the middle of nowhere that lead to a place filled with shelves that never seemed to end, was covered in fog, and was dimly lit. Also, there was a creepy giant monster vaguely resembling a giraffe, who took me by the hand and lead me around the place for all eternity.

Yeah, I clearly had the better dream.

[TheArtificiallyMade]

@SergeantLuke Did he ask you for $3.50 cause I think we had the same dream? lol

[zeldajunkielol2]

This commercial must be late in the Nes's history because game cartridges are only 29.95 each

[dustYCartridge]

@zeldajunkielol2 1988 :P 

[zeldajunkielol2]

@dustYCartridge Nice!

[Mycasa01]

@zeldajunkielol2 You're forgetting to adjust for inflation which, by today's money standards, would put the NES console at around $150 and each game at $50.

[whattheheck1000]

@zeldajunkielol2 They made an SMS version of this commercial as well. I'd say this was circa 1988.

[zeldajunkielol2]

@whattheheck1000 I've seen that one.

[whattheheck1000]

@zeldajunkielol2

Nintendo - Good

Sega - Good

[zeldajunkielol2]

@whattheheck1000 Yep

[MrMafiamansion2]

@Hittman305 Lol its like

Hey, I dreamed I had a Ps3

I had a MUCH better dream... NES RULES PS3 FANBOYS

[NesBoy1985]

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

[mustardman32]

[crazyfooInc]

[PLEEZENinja]

[phillitupp]
