@peri609667 I am bored so I like writing comments to see if I get a response. Most of the comments are from idiots( which I have given up arguing with), a few are misunderstandings(one being the reason you are not responding to 5000NoobTube), and there are a few who are a bit smart. I don't care if it's an armor-piercing bullet, I just want to eat deer!
Wow, Sega were a bunch of assholes. Their entire marketing campaign boils down to "You're a retard if you like other game companies. Buy our shit." I'm glad they went out of business, Karma's a bitch.
@peri609667 Actually, Sega is STILL in business. They've just giving up building their own consoles and portable game units after their Saturn system failed. But twenty years ago, it would have been unimaginable to have Sonic the Hedgehog on a Nintendo system...but that's the reality now!
@6000NoobTube No, they don't. Every company pretends their product is the best thing ever, but they don't slander other companies and their own customers. Only Sega does that.
Go watch a Gameboy commercial, or anything else from Nintendo. Show me where they say "Sega sucks, and so do you if you like them". You won't find it.
If you want to disagree with me, that's fine. But make sure you have a valid argument first. "n00b".
@peri609667 Sega DOES do what Nintendon't anyway. High speed that still doesn't satisfy your ADHD, a forgiving health system, and more satisfying plots. I never got the monkey ball thing, but still.
@6000NoobTube Opinions are like armpits - Everyone has one or two and they all stink. IDGAF about yours, so don't go Nintendo has the rights to the biggest franchises in the world - Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, ETC. Wii sales trump Xbox and Playstation combined. Sega isn't even on the charts. Sega were in so much debt between 1993 and 2004 that they relied on donations just to prevent bankruptcy. Things haven't improved much.
If you prefer Sega, that's cool. I'm just saying that Nintendo won the war.
@peri609667 That sir or ma'am is your opinion. By the way, even if you don't have an arm, you still have that area where your arm began called an armpit.
@6000NoobTube Certainly, they were different. Sega tried to leap in graphics, taking huge risk while Nintendo focused on game play and accessibility, taking small risks.
They both did brilliant jobs, i think these types of commercials offended more than pleased. Thus making Sega lose the fight!
A) Most people had gameboys by the time game gear was released, and kids are the primary market for handhelds and they get what their friends have.
B) If it didn't eat batteries like a sive, it would have faired better as well.
C) The Turbo Express is the best handheld of that era (before Nomad) since it played the same titles as the main system. But again, poor marketing,poor battery life and Nintendo's grip on the market killed that too.
Okay, to make a commercial for their portable gaming console is one thing. But to make fun of the best handheld ever created, makes a joke out of themselfs.
i still have my sega game gear. i thought the battery life was pretty good. it still works, except there's no sound unless you have headphones plugged in
Maybe if he Game Gear had a slightly better library of games, it would've held up better. Perhaps a re-design too that had a more efficient back-light.
None of us had heard of it as kids. We all had Game Boys. Like I said Sega was a household name and Mega Drives were the most popular console so its strange. But i'm not even sure it sold in Europe. I've heard of it since obviously.
They should make an ad for OLEDs and use the Game Gear as a reference to the shitty example. I had a Game Gear. They were cool, but you could tell the picture quality wasn't amazing. Not a deal breaker, but still missing clarity. The TV Tunder was fun. Too bad I can't get an analog signal with it anymore.
Nintendo could have made their own battery guzzling brick if they'd wanted. Instead they went for games, affordability, portability and battery life. Its funny how growing so many people had Game Boys and Sega Mega Drives and yet I never even heard of this. Such a failure it was.
@merkur32123 Y U DO A MEET THE HEAVY JOKE?! alright it was funneh :P BUT SEGA SHOULD MAKE NEW CONSOLES :D id buy those instead of nintendo XD just kidding its easier and cheaper to have sega games on other conbsoles :D
I loved Game Gear. It was way better than Ninendo's lousy 8 bit Gameboy. Sonic was the best game to play on there. Yea it drained the batteries, but there's was also a charger that you were able to buy. Game gear and Neo Geo were definitely ahead of technology around it's time.
Sega made it to the next level before NIntendo, butt Nintendo finally beat that level in 2001 with the release of the GBA. Then it went to the next level wtih the DS and then again with the 3DS. What has Sega done lately?
@newf360 Yeah, but even though it had color, it ate up batteries like hell and ultimately "failed". I still think it was a noble effort by SEGA to bring it out.
The games for it are coming to the new Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in May so I'm happy for it.
@Sylverstone14 I owned the Game Gear when I was younger and I loved it.It was the best handheld at the time. Yeah it ate up a lot of power, I just used a couple sets of rechargeables.Every console has its downfalls, like the 3DS causing headaches and vision problems(which the long term affects are not yet known seeing as this is NEW tech)I will still buy it because the games look amazing and you can still play in 2D.I didn't know about the game gear games coming out on the 3DS, that's great
SEGA should release a new Game Gear it would be much cheaper than a home console and if it were their entire focus they could spend their time and resource to make a great selection of games, anything beats the awful rubbish they've been releasing since the DC died.
Man, SEGA sure had a lot of balls to insult nintendos product's. It makes me wonder what they would say about todays competition(if they were still in the console business).
Not to be the odd one out, but I loved my Game Gear! All you had to do back then was get the AC adapter for it. It's what my mom did when she bought it for me. I have fond memories of staying up late on school nights to play Sonic Chaos. I would give anything to go back to those days
This thing took up 6 batteries and it went through them in about 3-5 hours. No joke. It was ridiculous. The only time I ever used this thing was at home attached to an adapter. When you're 8, you don't have the money required to buy new packs of AA batteries every day lol.
- If only the battery problem wasn't so prevalent/big, the superior speaker, and the color/backlit screen kicked the shit out of the GB, IMO [having had the original GB, the GB pocket and playing the shit out of them beforre going to GB color, and then the Advance]
@NESHero Haha, the way you say this makes it sound like this commercial JUST came out! But in the end, if this is how you thought when it did come out, you were right! Look at where Sega is now, and look where Nintendo is now!
I love sega, but I always hated their advertisements, youcan sell well without shamelessly insulting the competition right in their faces, still SEGA used to rock (and I still believe they still do)
@scatcoitus Naw, it just had the better battery life, which in turn gave people a reason to buy it over Game Gear, which in turn caused developers to see where the money was to be made. Game Gear had a lot of great games early on.
all they're advertising is the color. That's like someone offering you a Mountain of Sliver and a Mountain of Mud, and the only think they could say about the mud is that it has color.
Nintendo turned Sega into 'creamed spinach' despite all the dirty politics and gimmicks Sega pulled in the 90's. Now all the Sega moguls are drinking from the toilet in a public restroom in a Nintendo office, getting smacked over the head with a Wii nunchuck for being a bad dog. Woof...
Haha. :3 Loved reading these comments. There still a massive Gamegear/Gameboy debate XD Still Gameboy did come out in colour eventually. :)
I still prefer Nintendo for most of my games.... Its more about the types of games they provide rather than the console.
Still, you wouldn't catch any company doing this nowadays... They would get hounded by the media! (such as ofcom... Not sure if they have this in America. Sure do here ^.^" )
This commercial is stupid, it insults dogs, it implies spinach is bad, and then it proceeds to show only Tetris on the GB and several Game Gear games, dishonest... !
@LexingtonWells As well as saying Nintendo fans "have an IQ less than 12" and "drink from the toilet". Sega was VERY aggressive with their advertising back in the day; all they ever did was insult and bash and flame their competitors at any cost. Was kinda silly.
@lightlittlebrownboy Where? I can't seem to recall a Nintendo commercial that directly bashes and flames Sega in the style that Sega did. The only thing I can think of is the DKC commercial which only says "Not on Genesis". Nothing at all like "Genesis does what Nintendon't", and all the other BS that Sega put out like "blast processing".
Everywhere, but it wasn't retarded in you're face with SEGA's nausea inducing marketing regime running through the streets naked holding consoles in their hands ringing doorbells through suburbs like gibbering monkey's awful bad... I mean it was more subtle. Some shameless plugs in movies and commercials. Yeah sure- they actually made sense and didn't feature "BLAST PROCESSIN," but these were companies competing over territory and Sega just had a bad strategy for sure.
The point of the commercial was that the GB was not in colour. That only Tetris was shown hardly makes it dishonest. @LexingtonWells
As for insulting dogs, the point is that they DO have IQs lower than humans, which is why comparisons to them in terms of intelligence are supposed to be insulting... granted, they are more loyal than us and probably more badass than us, so it does have potential for Insult Backfire...
@LexingtonWells Hehe, actually it's actually pretty accurate, there wasn't much on the Gameboy that didn't downright suck, except for Tetris, until years after this commercial was made. Ditto for Game Gear though, but that's not the point. I remember this commercial fondly.
The batteries shouldn't be a problem at all. Didn't they last 5 hours per use? That means they would last you a 5-hour road trop without even replacing them, and that isn't even taking into account the idea of bringing spare batteries for the road trip. @davidtabone93
@neoYTPism Yes, but when you could get around 30hrs of battery life out of a Gameboy. Five hrs just didn't cut it..............Rumor has it, this boy had to pack another bag on his road trip just to carry extra batteries for his Game Gear...... hehe
@davidtabone93 The LCD screen, and the ridiculous amount of hardware put into it was a real battery eater, but it overcame that problem by having an extension to it that increased the life of normal batteries, allowed for it to be plugged into a cigarette outlet in a car, and even had a rechargable battery pack, but that was only an optional extension to the already expensive $300 dollar console.
The gameboy beats the gamegear cause of the fact that the gamegear used 6 batterys that died withen 2 fucking days =/

- DC adapter makes things better
- If only the battery problem wasn't so prevalent/big, the superior speaker, and the color/backlit screen kicked the shit out of the GB, IMO [having had the original GB, the GB pocket and playing the shit out of them beforre going to GB color, and then the Advance]

This is a big mistake by sega imo.
They make Nintendo look bad, or tried too.
People are gonna think. hmm wow is Nintendo really that bad, i gotta see this for myself.
Just like a bad movie, people will watch it for curiosity shake to see if the movie is as bad as people really say it is.
Why include you competition in your ad's ? you are advertising for them.
Just include your own product.
I own both machines and like them both so I am on no ones side here.

@NESHero And just like Sonic 06! the only reason people are still playing it is to see/show how awful it is!
And it was the console wars. They were SUPPOSED to do that ;D

@NESHero Haha, the way you say this makes it sound like this commercial JUST came out! But in the end, if this is how you thought when it did come out, you were right! Look at where Sega is now, and look where Nintendo is now!

sega is a real jerk!, so... Gameboy is not copyrighted?
OUch... sega called gameboy a creamed spinach color.....
Then Nintendo should call sega (or probably sonic) a "Homeless Hobo who doesnt have a home to love him"

everyone knew that gameboy was better, even though, it wasn't in color. it had better games
scatcoitus 1 year ago
@scatcoitus Naw, it just had the better battery life, which in turn gave people a reason to buy it over Game Gear, which in turn caused developers to see where the money was to be made. Game Gear had a lot of great games early on.

all they're advertising is the color. That's like someone offering you a Mountain of Sliver and a Mountain of Mud, and the only think they could say about the mud is that it has color.

Nintendo turned Sega into 'creamed spinach' despite all the dirty politics and gimmicks Sega pulled in the 90's. Now all the Sega moguls are drinking from the toilet in a public restroom in a Nintendo office, getting smacked over the head with a Wii nunchuck for being a bad dog. Woof...

Haha. :3 Loved reading these comments. There still a massive Gamegear/Gameboy debate XD Still Gameboy did come out in colour eventually. :)
I still prefer Nintendo for most of my games.... Its more about the types of games they provide rather than the console.
Still, you wouldn't catch any company doing this nowadays... They would get hounded by the media! (such as ofcom... Not sure if they have this in America. Sure do here ^.^" )

"go ahead and say the gamegears better(which is a lie)"
It's called having an opinion. Independent of factual truth or lack therefore.
"but whos consoles does sega use for their Games?"
We're talking about the Game Gear console here, not who uses what console for what games NOW.

This commercial is stupid, it insults dogs, it implies spinach is bad, and then it proceeds to show only Tetris on the GB and several Game Gear games, dishonest... !
LexingtonWells 1 year ago 36
@LexingtonWells As well as saying Nintendo fans "have an IQ less than 12" and "drink from the toilet". Sega was VERY aggressive with their advertising back in the day; all they ever did was insult and bash and flame their competitors at any cost. Was kinda silly.

lightlittlebrownboy 10 months ago
@lightlittlebrownboy Where? I can't seem to recall a Nintendo commercial that directly bashes and flames Sega in the style that Sega did. The only thing I can think of is the DKC commercial which only says "Not on Genesis". Nothing at all like "Genesis does what Nintendon't", and all the other BS that Sega put out like "blast processing".
Gotmilk0112 10 months ago
SEGA were the underdogs at the time, so they probably had reason to believe they needed to be aggressive to get a leg up on Nintendo @Gotmilk0112
Not that this justifies it, just that Nintendo was already dominant so they did not need aggressive marketing.

Everywhere, but it wasn't retarded in you're face with SEGA's nausea inducing marketing regime running through the streets naked holding consoles in their hands ringing doorbells through suburbs like gibbering monkey's awful bad... I mean it was more subtle. Some shameless plugs in movies and commercials. Yeah sure- they actually made sense and didn't feature "BLAST PROCESSIN," but these were companies competing over territory and Sega just had a bad strategy for sure.
lightlittlebrownboy 10 months ago
The point of the commercial was that the GB was not in colour. That only Tetris was shown hardly makes it dishonest. @LexingtonWells
As for insulting dogs, the point is that they DO have IQs lower than humans, which is why comparisons to them in terms of intelligence are supposed to be insulting... granted, they are more loyal than us and probably more badass than us, so it does have potential for Insult Backfire...
neoYTPism 10 months ago
@LexingtonWells Hehe, actually it's actually pretty accurate, there wasn't much on the Gameboy that didn't downright suck, except for Tetris, until years after this commercial was made. Ditto for Game Gear though, but that's not the point. I remember this commercial fondly.

The batteries shouldn't be a problem at all. Didn't they last 5 hours per use? That means they would last you a 5-hour road trop without even replacing them, and that isn't even taking into account the idea of bringing spare batteries for the road trip. @davidtabone93
neoYTPism 1 year ago
@neoYTPism Yes, but when you could get around 30hrs of battery life out of a Gameboy. Five hrs just didn't cut it..............Rumor has it, this boy had to pack another bag on his road trip just to carry extra batteries for his Game Gear...... hehe
davidtabone93 1 year ago
@davidtabone93 The LCD screen, and the ridiculous amount of hardware put into it was a real battery eater, but it overcame that problem by having an extension to it that increased the life of normal batteries, allowed for it to be plugged into a cigarette outlet in a car, and even had a rechargable battery pack, but that was only an optional extension to the already expensive $300 dollar console.
