This seems like a spoof of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation video (which makes sense, considering the release dates of both this and that). They're even dancing similarly to her style there. Watch "Rhythm Nation" and compare and contrast. :o
Well...at least the choreography was made well and it still keeps the action element. I just can't tell if it's trying to be an advertisement for a game or a music video.
@scoobydude51 I simply meant that you could hear the word "Famicom". I'm not trying to imply that the commercial incorrectly references the Nes, since it doesn't. But thanks. Your reply, & my sub-sequent reply adds clarity to what I originally meant. Otherwise, ppl think I mean other things.
@EmeraldLantern2814 & yes, you can hear "Super". Not disagreeing w/ you here, just double replying, as my 1st reply comes off as if I'm in a defensive position in an online argument. I talk funny occasionally. Sorry 'bout that! lol :)
@Paraguai123 She didn't call Link Zelda, she said "he's here" in Japanese, which kinda sounds like Zelda. I know, I thought for years she was randomly calling Link herself.
i hope im not the only one who loved this dance so much that i took a few hours pausing, rewinding, just to learn how to do the whole frikin dance? LOL i feel awesome XD
Does anyone know what the song is? ^^; When I saw this video today I decided it was so epic that I must do it for a dance class project, but I need the song...
Only the English Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire commercial, with people who look like Pokemon, can compete with this for overall cool in a video game commercial.
ITS HERE, ITS HERE, NEW ZELDA, ACTION ADVENTURE ARSING ABOUT IN 2 DIMENSIONS, BUY IT, BUY IT FOR SUPER FAMICOM!1!! BECAUSE GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDONT!!!
