[powderlead]

[Swehead]

Botting back in the 80's

[TheGerogero]

"Batteries not included" "Each sold separately" so honest :D 

[LeathaFace17]

0:01 reminded me of the commercials for the original xbox.

[trialanderror620]

thats where rob from super smash bros brawl came from...

[floridafangogators]

mine didnt come with Rob.... :(

[MRAWESOMEEASB1]

[7183Ryan]

Rob - wallies older cousin

[mexicomexico1]

I want a ROB, the extraordinary video robot batteries not included!

[basalisk335]

its funny that they dont even mention mario

[hunter4hire]

@basalisk335 mario was still in production in the first reveal, it wasn't going to be a launch title until April 1990. Then they took out the robot cuz it was shit, and included 2 games in 1 (Duckhunt/Mario) at a lower price (that's the one I got back in the day, and by me, I mean my big bro, hehe)

[cool2t]

LOL@ batteries not included.

[MyJack132]

My dream...

[yothegamer]

I love taking a trip down nerd memory lane.... ahhh virginity.

[megaramathor]

I have the console :D

[astralrock]

Rob, the extraordinary video robot - batteries not included.

Duck Hunt, Action pact, Hogan's ally and high blind Kung fu - each sold separately.

LMAO! WTF?!

[theendofit]

@astralrock duck hunt came with it watch it again

and also how many other companes ever gave even half that much stuff in the base pack

[fullboxxskater]

neato! If I just save my pennies up, one day I could by this wacky machine-jumpin' jellybeans

[SimmerSab]

I don't have this set, but I still have the console xD

[NinjaRed5000]

[TheStolenBike]

@NinjaRed5000 tis' was b4 supah mario

[EhtaZUGGE]

[avengedguy]

Batteries not included rofl 

[8BitDisaster]

Cool, wireless NES

[8BitDisaster]

Im about 12 years old and i think NES is the omega gaming system that rules all. xbox? Meh, its alright.

[Neil3600]

SO THATS WHERE ROB CAME FROM!

[cobo5951]

@Neil3600 Doesn't EVERYONE know where ROB came from?

[Neil3600]

@cobo5951 well not me i guess :(

[mikesaltzman1]

WHY THE HELL ARNT BATTERIES INCLUDED?!

[PiscespiritX]

Wow they really hooked it up back then

[trlkly]

@PiscespiritX They had to. No one was buying game consoles since the Atari Fiasco. The way to get people to buy stuff is to throw a lot of extra stuff with it.

[gunthe99]

Oh my god it's rob

[TheTKCreborn]

WOAH! Gnarly package dude! That's more stuff than I get on my pepperoni pizza! I'm totally buyin' it dude...when I get the cash that is. Better start washin' my Dad's car and mowing Mr. Winkelthorpe's lawn. TUBULAR!

[hungryhippo247]

This is the system that saved the video game industry. Everyone who lived during my generation would know that. :D

[Aklaba]

@RetroShinigami

@ShannaPondanna Actually, what caused the crashed was not the Atari itself but rather a choice made by then Owner and CEO of Atari, Nolan Bushnell, who decided to sell Atari to Warner Bros. The crash itself was caused by poor attempts at pushing more 2600's into an already over-saturated market by the new WB owners.

[Coolbird00]

high flying ku fung! lol

[ShannaPondanna]

@RetroShinigami nono nonono no no no no no non no no no not at all

anyways

thhey have super machines today they ccan build a console

[ShannaPondanna]

@RetroShinigami 1958 tennis for two

if we have robots that act like humans we can make videogame consoles

[ShannaPondanna]

@RetroShinigami ima talkin bout vid game crash of 83

[SinbladeZen]

Oh that's ROB from Super Smash Bros. lol

[ShannaPondanna]

@RetroShinigami because atari 2600 killed video games

[darrenc07]

what makes me laugh is what you get with it. You dont see half of this and you pay three times as much these days. I remember the robot and even though it had one game for it, it was bloody clever for its time.

[LTPVG]

I like how the commercial constantly told you how great all that crap was, and then quickly stated that it was crap.

[syndrome1300]

WTF Batterys not included >.> whats the point then

[johanrodriguez21]

@syndrome1300 its called buying battiries T.T

[ccricers]

Ah the all-grey zapper, back before people thought that was a real gun XD

[Swiffers]

Damn that is !!OLD!!

[7shado]

Those were the days :)

[zelda180]

For those of you that still want to plat the NES and other oldschool games just go to GAMES.GIFTSNMORE . C O M . All for free....

[boygamerx]

mario?

[MazdaArai]

back then sony used to be partners with nintendo

[MajorLeaguerAnubius]

@MazdaArai Extra Innings, much?

[zenmart]

This system saved the home video game industry. We salute you Nintendo Entertainment System!

[zelda180]

@zenmart You are right if it was not for the NES I don't think the game indestery would have been revived at all.

[5959512]

da cunt

[fiftytimez]

i never got a R.O.B :[

[DrKrFfXx000000000000]

Now you pray for the consoles to come with a half decent TV cable.

[AmericanEvita]

I was an 80's kid and did not have the robot. I had the Zapper gun and the Power Glove but that was it. The robot must have been around 1986, but I mostly played Nintendo when it was big at my school in 1987, 1988 and 1989. I miss the 80's! I want to be a kid again!!!!

[SupahSonic7734]

Will YOU be the one to experience Pin Connector problems, flashing lights, and a tidal wave of crappy games??? Problems 1 and 2 can be solved with a top loader each sold separately.

[DisasterBlaster500]

I never understood what that stupid robot was for. That said, it was a great system, I had mine from '88 until around '91 or '92.

[dsandi100]

You can play with R.O.B. bateriesnotincluded

[vanellawii]

I JUST GOT ONE AT A GARAGE SALE :D

[PurpleAlligatorSoup]

I find it very funny that they made a very rare version of Micheal Jackson Moonwalker for the NES

[Flegmatica]

Batteries not included

[mapler51]

Remember when this used to be cool? Lol

[creepilycreepy1]

All you 12 year old kids praising the NES and saying your friends think you're retarded for it, I bet it makes you feel cool because you think you know something everybody else doesn't. You're on your way to drinking coffee in Starbucks with your apple computer, telling people why everything they like sucks while enjoying the smell of your own farts and driving home in your Prius.

[JeffroTV]

@creepilycreepy1 Yes!!!!! I bet they drop an old obscure name title like F-Bombs.... Then all those 12 year olds grow up to be IrateGamer fans.

[rjp443]

@creepilycreepy1 dude. spot. on. dude.

[DekuTreeOfKokiri]

All bow down befor the great nintnedo NES

[darkmew5]

wat does ROB do?

[BipolarCucco]

AND DUCK HUNT.

[MasterShinigami09]

R.O.B. was released in the U.S.? I don't think I was even born when this happened. I missed one of the most glorious of video game history :(

[bababooey2006]

I had this system. It was the best game console ever. Games were so much fun.

[dollors1]

I didn't know the gun worked with Kung-Fu!

[TotalGraffiti]

I still got it!!!! mine is 30 years old :D

[AdamfMc]

Fuck me. ROB, Zapper, two controllers and two games? How many thousands of dollars did that cost?

[sohchx]

@AdamfMc $199.99

[834pengi1CP]

i have one of these

[kornstew]

I still have my zappers lol a grey one and orange one.

[zukoluvr4]

i was sick when i watched this on here the first time. i had gone a little loopy by that time too, so the phrase "batteries not included" was the funniest thing ever. my family though i had vinally lost it.

[allxtar]

lmao. he says senteces like batteries not included . Each sold spearetly . Its funny

[droolerdork]

"The amazing video robot" haha

[Dragoonknight717]

Remember when systems came with two games, two controllers, a robot, AND a zapper?

[MegaMacTV]

@Dragoonknight717 Yes, that I do.

[Ladiespetmansthreat]

@Dragoonknight717 Yeha I had that same pack except for the robot and Mario and duck hunt was a combined game and my pops said he aint gonna buy another game untill I beat mario lmao!

[chunktuff]

@Ladiespetmansthreat lol you got a nice dad then.. beat it own noobs and master it then move on to something else.. thats the hardcore gamer way of playing video games lol

[SuperShilvanic54]

Dude that was like....totally awesome back then! High 5!!! ^^

[jacklebottt]

@Dragoonknight717 pepperidge farm remembers

[thedrmat]

I played an NES last Christmas, after God knows how many years it had been since I last played it; and it worked like the first day!!

[DragonUltraMaster]

Omg, I want that box :o

I want to have R.O.B

[666Halloween]

marcin that's great you have a nes i didn't mean all kids i meant all most all kid i mean i am 12 i have a nes 30 games the power pad the power glove nes advantage light gun i love my nes now your playing with power

[MultiClassicgamer]

Aww, the good old days of nintendo.

[MacintoshPlus1MB]

I am a kid. I hate new consoles! I only like old consoles (only if they are branded Nintendo)! I play my NES everyday. I got it New in the box on Monday a.k.a. December 21, 2009. I only like new consoles from Nintendo, But I like the old ones more!

[EdSZiomek]

Johnny... "who is that kid"... on the duck hunt, 1984-85, Regional-Seasonal-Wild spot, LA and NY markets only, went from 0 to $300 milllion on one set of 7 commercials? Congratulations.

[666Halloween]

nes is the best system Nintendo ever made all this other stuff like x box ps3 cant match nes kids these days don't appreciate old video games if it wasn't for nes the x box and ps3 wouldn't even be alive today

[romans52345]

@666Halloween fuckin right man nintendo was the system everyone had it and i mean EVERYONE... not everyone has x box, xbox 360, playstation 3, wii, or had, Super Nintendo, Sega Genises, SMS, saturn, dreamcast, PS 1 and 2, N 64,game cube, atri and i can go on and on... EVERYONE had Nintendo...

[MacintoshPlus1MB]

@666Halloween i'm a kid. I love my NES but I hate my PS2 but seriously i am a kid in second grade.

[thedrmat]

What?? So, you're only like 7 or 8 years old?? And you got to know about the original NES!! Wow, little dude, what an experience!!

[MacintoshPlus1MB]

@thedrmat yeah, the nes is very fun. i like the wii i have too. me and my big brother played the nes all night and on christmas i played it with my cousin paul because he likes nintendo a lot.

[thedrmat]

Tell me about it, little dude.

:)

[thechainzter]

@666Halloween I love the Sega Genesis, and was lucky to have both the NES and the Genesis at the same time and i really have to agree with u that kids now days dont apreciateOld games. As much as love the Genesis i rally think that the NES made video gaming what it is today. I dont feel as excited with any game now days including GOW as i did when i first played Mario 3 or Metroid or Mega Man 2...... the good old days....

[666Halloween]

@thechainzter yea i hear ya

[Sunpark00]

@666Halloween: i find n64 is the best console nintendo has ever made

[666Halloween]

@Sunpark00 well n64 was really great and like i said without the nes the n64 wouldn't be created beside nes i had many classics games and those classic games made the n64s classic games well that is just my opinion i do though think its number 2

[JeffroTV]

@Sunpark00 Actually the SNes is the best IMHO..... You can't go wrong with that. N64 Screwed up with all that "3D" Polygon crap.... It makes me cringe at how bad N64 games were.

[narotu200]

@666Halloween im 11 i say nes once and they look at me like im retarded er sompthing

[666Halloween]

@narotu200 i know how u feel im 12 and when i talk about the nes they dont know what im talkin about and like i said some kids dont know the nes because their old games they only know there generation of games and consoles like the xbox ps3 and wii

[narotu200]

@666Halloween agreed

[DJACE102]

@666Halloween i have a ps3 and im 11 now but when i play super mario bros. on NES i have the greatest time. something about playing old games to me that is just fun

[samauripizzacats101]

@DJACE102 ps3 and x box just never got enough great games to make them worth the price. Pick up an old genesis also and spend ten bucks to get all the classics on both systems and you'll never be sad

[VvEinarvV]

@666Halloween I so agree, but i was born in 1996 and I WANT A MOTHERFUCKING NES, with megaman 2 and 3 and mario bros :D new gen of video games are overrated :(

[link000000]

@666Halloween preach!!

[TRUDOWNSOUTH]

@666Halloween

True, but because of XBOX and PS3, that first Nintendo is dead.

[sohchx]

@TRUDOWNSOUTH Super NES and Genesis killed the NES

[TRUDOWNSOUTH]

@sohchx

Not true. Super Nintendo was an extention of the NES. I remember when Genesis first came out, I was still playing NES until Super Nintendo came out. Genisis dint kill the NES, it even stood around a few year and new games were still coming out even after the SNES. I think the NES was the only system in history with a classic status like that.

[sohchx]

@TRUDOWNSOUTH Well I didn't mean that they stopped the NES completely but it's popularity died down, being that people wanted their game experience as close to the arcades as possible most wanted 16 bit over 8 bit. I remember seeing new NES releases in stores up until 1996.

[TRUDOWNSOUTH]

@sohchx

Yeah thats what I meant. Let me ask you this. Isnt it a little fucked up that arcades are obsolete now. I used to love going in one and kicking ass in Killer Instinct, etc. At least I can say I have a nice supply of quarters now.

[sohchx]

@TRUDOWNSOUTH Yeah it is sad that the consoles killed the arcades. As time went by people just got lazier and didn't want to leave the house to drop quarters. To me arcades were'nt just about the games.It was about being social,hangin out with friends,hittin on girls,you know fun shit. Now kids just sit at home and play COD all day. When the last of the arcades started to die off I always told myself I'd have my own arcade,now I do and my friends and I go back in time almost every weekend.

[sohchx]

@666Halloween Kids are way to spoiled these days and three of my four are a prime example.I could hear them now complaining while playing an NES game....This is to hard,the graphics suck etc. I have a gameroom in my basement with over 20 arcade games and they won't play them cuz "there old and boring" My 10 yr old daughter is the only one of them to appreciate the classics.

[KetchupSplodge]

@666Halloween Ummm, Sony created the PS3 and Microsoft created the Xbox.

[li23am]

@666Halloween HEY! I'm a kid who plays N.E.S.! I appreciate it! I like it!

[PirateSaiyanNinjaaa1]

@666Halloween When I was young(about 7 years ago, 15 now) my bro had collected lots of nintendo games, for all systems, me and him be staying up all night playing the games. I agree with you 100 percent%. These fucktards in my neighbor hood keep talking about how I always play old games, while they play some crapy ass new shit.

[theLegendofZelda2009]

@666Halloween

I agree, I can enjoy an NES game even if it's graphics don't stand up to today's standards, come on, as you said Nintendo is the reason why Xbox 360 and Ps3 even fucking exist.

[phgp27]

@666Halloween yea but it wasnt the system it was the games dude.

[ThePrinceJAW]

@666Halloween I appreciate it!

[Whobadude]

@666Halloween I appreciate it! Its my fav. console!

[Danteante]

i love how they say batteries not included right away

[ionthegravity]

ROB was fucking worthless!! My brother broke that shit the day after we got it for xmas

[Sk8erboi0700]

I love hw he say each sold seperately right in the middle of the add :D

[sledhead250]

How musch was it for one of those back then?

[restinpoison]

If i remember right it was about $180.

[ChampionRevilo]

I never had rob

[JeterScutaroFan83]

Nintendo saved the video game industry in America when Atari almost killed it.

[Urzaran]

man I love Gyromite! It was one of my favorite games. It took me a long time to find the game, but I bought it for $5 at a flea market. That sure made my day!

[TheBoldBroadcast]

What the freak system is that? :o

[BurninSam]

What the robot was 4? I've seen no one in my box when my parents bought me a NES.

[koopakape]

for kicking ass in smash bros. brawl

[tt3socal]

did u gt the robotic bundle pack

[BurninSam]

No, and i wonder what the bot is made 4...

[tt3socal]

it supose to play ur games with you

[jordanv78]

....BEST.....SYSTEM.....EVER!!­!!!

Thanks for posting this commercial!

[Heegoop]

Yeah way better than the N64.

[100percentgamer]

and thus, a legend was born!

[darkangelsv1]

And on the 8th day, God created Miyamoto, and he created the ultimate console. Miyamoto saw it was good. And so ended the 8th day of creationism, and started the first day of videogame creationism. More after the break!

[makeghandi]

@darkangelsv1 And then on the 9th day god made Sony, just fuck with us. Sony went on to make several over-priced system that did not work very well for very long, and when God saw our frustration, He laughed his ass off.

[Spagettieater9000]

ROB fails at NES but pwns in Brawl

[martianman66]

,or with rob batteries not included the robot XD

[luigi55125]

lol when they said batteries not included for rob in the middle of the commercial

[XxIronManxX1]

how mutch

[tortwig1234]

5 dollars XD

[DJGalax44]

At the scene with R.O.B.:

'Batteries not included.'

It would cost them too much money to get the batteries, as R.O.B. itself needs 4 batteries and some other compenents also need 2 batteries. :S

[diekje10]

where is that robotic thign for?

[adamcrown2008]

you used the robot to play the game called gyromite. You had to guide a sleepwalking person along the screen, through the robot, it had to spin these discs for the A and B buttons to open doors or lift columns. I had it. lol.

[chrislyon06]

Zapper. I thought they said the wii was the first motion sensing console.

[Jjwiredinc]

the zapper was a light gun. but the super nintendo's "zapper" was motion sensing, but it was crap.

[ninehunid]

super scope six

[jooshiscrazy]

It's not a motion sensing gun. It's a light gun. The way it works is that when you shoot, the screen goes black for less than a second. There is a light flash where the target is, and the gun senses that light, determining whether you're pointing at the target.

[SugarOnMyTongue]

duckhunt...nostalgia..

[peduuu]

Man, a robot? i dont have a robot. I still have my NES (Duck Hunt rulez) and i still play it very well

[darkdisruption]

wow! thats a lot of stuff! thats why everyone bought it!

[offthelinegt]

wow .. .i didnt get all that stuff when i got my first one as a child!

[mosomeechi]

that is the first time i"ve seen or even heard of the robot? WTF

[marymoo14]

tht came w a lot of stuff man
