Nintendo 80's Commercial

[sslongshore]

That is alot of shit to come in one system lol!

[saharacasinoforever]

I had the pad you jumped on. Don't know what it was called.

Electronics were made to last back then. Anyone remember the Betamax? Much more reliable than VHS.

[SuperGorak]

@saharacasinoforever Yeah. To last a couple of days. Then it all fell apart and he had to buy another one

[solakiDE]

Batteries not included

[blacknbluestar]

WOW



[erikinhawaii]

rich brats ! Screw em we had BB guns !They hated us for that...

[wesmeis]

what did the robot do? i wished i had it.. i would of made it do my home work.

[conrailforever1999]

i never got it FUCK

[judet2006]

nes ruined my life. I went from honor roll to c average. Curse you, zelda! Curse you mario!

[ShadowXtrem420]

@arnyjk I got R.O.B. with my NES! I still have R.O.B., and the NES after 25 years. Still works believe it or not.

[mnofmystrie]

@ShadowXtrem420 Amazing how R.O.B. bundled with the NES still works after 25 years, yet the average life-span of an Xbox 360 is less than 3 years. Usually they RROD well before that. I guess it's true when they say, "They don't make 'em like they used to."

[thewwmm25]

@mnofmystrie with the new xbox slim is now more than 3 years but of course it won't last 10 years.

[arnyjk]

Am I the only one here who actually had the robot? I got the set during a special Christmas '85 release.

[localSickened]

how much it costed at that time? i wasnt born yet

[lnfamousDog]

Atari: Holy shit were fucked!!!

Nintendo: Oh yeah mo fo letse go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sony: We have a idea? *chuckles*

Microsoft: Cocks any one?

[Mykayel]

Wonder what they would of reacted like if they would of seen the PS3 "Universe Of Entertainment" TV Commercial.

[qjnisha]

WOW look at today's technology

[tdg1001]

OMG it's so compact.....

[nintendoguy360]

Now you're playing with POWER!!!!

[crazykidsdad]

OMG, did they make any other shot'em up games besides duck hunt and Hogan's alley?

[Supersourcrout]

@crazykidsdad Yes plenty of other games such as Wild Gunman, Gumshoe, Gotcha! the sport, operation wolf, two unlicenced nes zapper games: Chiller and Baby Boomer and games that have bonus stages or special levels that are compatible with the zapper such as Bayou Billy and Track and Field II and there is a couple more that I missed as well.

[schemaia]

Damn! I can't wait till it comes to stores!!!!

[Omerack]

i dont understand what "ROB" does.. lol

[WiLD83iLL]

check out my listing on amazon for an action set just like this! search NES ACTION SET, look at the "new" ones, KarmaKing is priced to sell, waaay cheaper than the rest, great condition just like this one with all the plastic baggies and poster and all... email through amazon for pictures!

[mig189189189]

Great times!

Great System!

[Ares5440]

i remember when i was 5yrs and i had a NES and a 64 no one said nothing about graphic. those games were actually fun, but now i can't see myself playing these again

[MrExodus]

Who the fuck played kung fu that fast?

[TheDrummerNut]

Oh my god!!! I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT NOW!!! :D

[matthewisacracker]

@TheDrummerNut a dick? lol

[pliskn11]

i love how they just insert batteries not included hahahaha

[SlapMeSilly101]

my uncle has the snes its amazing

[ManOWar2Red]

@SlapMeSilly101 Snes...

Nes was much more different and revolutionnary back then. Along with Master drive (first true sega console, 16 bit)

[JBOPatrick]

@ManOWar2Red master drive? first true Sega console 16 bit? Sega's first true console outside of Japan was 8 bit, and it was the Master System. Later came the 16 bit Mega Drive AKA Genesis.

[The10yearoldANIMATOR]

@SlapMeSilly101 this isnt a snes its a nes

[MattTheSaiyan]

I love my old NES! Don't have the Robo thingy, though.

[halferuga]

LOL. When you be the one to witness the birth of the incredible NES, the one to play with ROB, extraorinary video robot BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.

[poisonspider89]

I vegly remember those robots what do they do?

[Diamondgrl2007]

although mine was a hand me down from my cousin..i didnt have all that..she gave me the controllers..gun and duck hunt...no robot and the other little stuff with it

[octobubble]

i allways wanted that robot thing

[anaco654]

That trash is not compared to the wii!

[TheRoxasfan]

i wish rob could be more of a slave then a help for video games like it could make you a "samatch" and stuff

[XxXSupaGlueXxX]

Rob get me some pop. Good times.

[N0pperab0]

Lawl. "Dah cunt." :>

[Kazaskater123]

[blizzard424]

Aww i never got a ROB with my set :P at least i have a zapper lol

[matthewisacracker]

[tonioonp]

SOOOO COOOLL!

[yaktr12]

R.O.B murdered my family

[Kazaskater123]

hahaha

[Chris8nin]

The average price for this package was around $300 at the time. Crazy huh. We still pay around $300 for the "new" systems. But someday you will see an old commercial for it too.

[kargaroc386]

accidentally rated 1 star

oops.

[NateSean]

ROB kinda looks like the forerunner of Wall-E. I didn't get a ROB with my set. What did he do exactly?

[20eric07]

Basically, give you a seizure with flashing screens that sent him instructions on what to do, like moving its arms up, down, etc. according to the two games it was compatible with, Gyromite and some other I forgot the name.

[Icemangqx]

Stack-up was the other game

[Luis2899]

hope ROB makes a comeback on Wii

[98offroadFORDexpo]

he did.

in super smash bros. for the wii.

[sims2andsims3]

I had no idea R.O.B. exisited 4 so long! I unlocked him in Mario Kart DS

[thearchunholy]

ROB was also used in the Star Fox series.

[sherikanman]

accually, that rob is a differant person, this rob had his own video game series, then came back on the wii when super smash bros. brawl came out.

[shaneinkster]

1987?

[SteveRay911]

Damn, video game consoles actually used to come with stuff!

[emoluvjd2]

So that's where R.O.B. came frome

[yournotjohn]

My cuz had this when it first came out... I got the Master System about a year later. I never went over to play after that.

[XXGutsAndGloryXX]

YES! YES! ILL BE THE ONE!

[EntropyGuardian]

Incredibly accurate?

[HackTh3Planet]

the lightgun was really accurate

[gma115]

a robot? thats old school

[MyvPops818]

I never had R.O.B .....Where can I get one?

[northwestbrett]

yeah me either?

[RickyZ101]

I will be the one... I will be the one...

[PortalFanatic]

Ha ha, R.O.B was always too slow at Gyromyte. I just used the two controllers myself.

[wwjoeyd]

i still have R.O.B.

so dumb lol

need to sell it on ebay sometime soon....

[doublejax]

That Robot was fucking useless. My friend had one and it couldn't do SHIT!!!

[sanjay26890]

mine only came with 2 controllers and super mario bros...back in 86...22 yrs ago...lol. getting old

[DarakuTenshi]

I still have my ROB man did that thing suck though.

[acp2483]

Damn we never had the robot, but we had the first nintendo. Haha my brother and I spent hours playing Super Mario Bros. 1 soooo much fun.

[TheResock]

"..Be the one to play with R.O.B batteriesnotincluded he helps you tackle even the toughest challenges" I love how they say that in the middle of the sentence xD

[LazyLeo08]

Damn it came with all that?...We're lucky to even get just a memory card or controller with the systems nowadays.

[SCALAMANDRE3]

I used to cheat on GYROMITE ;)

[saladcat]

fuck yes, duck hunt

[casiotone1331]

Hey I got the original system when it came out and I never got a goddamn robot. Stupid freaking Babbages.

[marcovarius]

did they just say the Zapper works with Kung Fu?

[Hyperstorm2]

Yes. There goes the claim that they never technically lie in commercials.

[chrisz71]

what did the robot do?

[DJXtreme2]

NES accessory. It was used in some games like gyromyte to help you solve puzzles. it would respond to lighting configuration from the T.V. whith accurate movements, unless if the batteries were dying. I wasnt born in the 80's and its funny how i know this and i dont even have friends who had a R.O.B.

(i have my resources, ok?)

[Wiky100]

I got one of the first NES and it included gyromite, ROB,duckhunt and the light gun. I had to purchase Super mario bros. separately. Rob was garbage. they added ROB basically so they could sell to 'toy' stores. On gyromite, you had to hit select for each movement.select, move down, select move arm right. Playing the game was impossible. BTW rob stands for Robotic operating buddy.

[cornflaked]

SNES was amazing except for that lame Super Scope. Wasted cash on that one!

[Snappayy]

AHHH i want this set, its so much better than the wii >.>

[KitsuneRaven]

SNES is actually considered better then the 64 for a lot of gamers...

[MadeNupe]

they need 2 re-release this whole set

[revamped720]

hey, buy it on ebay?! ;)

[whattheheck1000]

May 1985

[bush121234]

So the SNES was the first to use the Zapper then now they are re-using that idea for the Wii called the Wii zapper.

[roosevelthighschool]

I had no idea that there was a robot with the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

[Jobertastic]

yup he comes out in smash brothers brawl. R.O.B

[wiesje666]

wow i wish they still sold the retro nentendo stuff it would make my game system awesomer

[Czechmate10101]

We came a long way man. Makes you appreciate ps2!

[princetongirl218]

makes u appreciate anything but that!

[PaintedPorch]

Those kids have mannequin hair.

[rrzamudio]

Remember the Power Pad? That thing was awesome. My cousin crapped in his pants while we were using it play Track and Field. He was having so much fun, he didn't want to leave to go and take a dump. Anyways, we were doing the 100 yard dash event and the turd fell out of his shorts while he was running in place. My uncle beat the crap out of him for disrespecting the 'Pad.

[rrzamudio]

I love the power glove... it's so bad. -Quoth the Wizard

Actually, the Power Glove was complete garbage. I remember watching a Nintendo rep using it to play Mike Tyson's Punch Out during a sponsored demo for the glove's release at Toys R Us. He got his ass beat hard by Glass Joe because the glove's sensors and control were so chitty. I don't think they sold too many units that day. -1 for the Power Glove.

[DrLove0378]

If you think that's something, you oughtta check out the Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the Glove. He couldn't beat Glass Joe, either...... but accomplished an impossible task with it. What, exactly? Well, you'll just have to watch and find out. ;-)

[Kirbykidx]

Oh my God. That made me laugh so hard.

[themutt2]

i said "duck hunt" in class today and it sounded like i swore

[silverwind10102]

did you know R.O.B is in Mario Kart DS, it's awesome!

[cocobliss30]

Damn I played all those games back in the day! LOL! The set I had didn't have the robot though, it just had the zapper and the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo. You can't beat classic Nintendo!

[sacezune09]

i'm with devilsfan hahahaha

[devilsfan1986]

Rob helped keep the cartridges clean, so you didn't have to blow in them to make em' work. We all remember doing that.

[rissehx3]

Omigosh! I hated that.

[ccvid07]

what the hell did the robot do? he didnt say

[futurereagan964]

jesus! how much did that cost back in the day? half the commercial was him describing what came with it!

[jharvey33]

Yeah, bach in the day you got games, game controlers, and other stuff with you game system. Nowadays you spend hundreds for a box that does nothing intil you spend hundreds more.

[whattheheck1000]

20%, 0:24 to 0:30

[chuteboxe106]

Nintendo was great, but I hate faggy emo kids who's parents make over 100k a year, but still play Nintendo because fashionable.

[oconnorcd]

I still rock out to this like it is x-box or whatever. Fuck all this new shit. Nintendo rules and will never die.

[larevs221]

far out they almost packed the kitchen sink!

[iMissNintendo]

i think the rob is too silly, bu the rest is good and they did leave out the nes, du because it wasnt included

[sniggedi]

The only thing they missed in that NES pack is a pink dildo. But who cares? ROB is much better!

[rhastagurl]

The Rob was great-I played with that thing for hours-if only i knew then how spoiled i really was-oh well

[OneWithWaves]

Wow, they packaged everything with it? They used to with iPod's, too.

[AlbanianMan]

I got Nintendo in 1987 with ROB the robot. It costed 250 bucks which was insane back then. The Robot spun these little gyros and it opened and closed the pillars on the Gyromite game

[bigsweatypenis]

What did "ROB" do?

[isanicaday]

That system cost around $200 in 1987. That's like $400-$500 today.

[aimeedus]

yeah they were exspensive thats why we never had one.I used to go over my neighbors house and play his

[wrnchhead76]

Dude, me too, and his fancy air conditioning!! haha my poor mom

[mcleantyler]

Rob the robot was I think only for the game Gyromyte. That game was not that fun either... Maybe there were more games Rob could play I broke mine not long after I had it lol

[REAL6]

damn i used to have The robot 'ROB'

[noah1970]

wow high tech! hehe

[Holla89]

I know about the Duck hunt but were bout the Robot come from?

[nikky79]

I remember the Robot my parents got me the Nintendo with the robot included. It was in 1989. It's so weird to see it again!

[twinkissed]

I do NOT remember that Rob the Robot. I wonder what happened to it...

[randoman412]

Wow, what a great deal

[smurfsauce]

"each sold seperatly"

[pendaflux]

"batteries not included"
