  • They new they where about to release the one of the best game ever! They got that right!

  • Cute dog =D

    This commercial is fantastic! Notice how long they linger on showing off actual GAMEPLAY without resorting to just nothing but 'cutscenes'.

    Wish they did this type of thing more often.

    MOM does not exist, this will always be the best Metroid game in my life :)

  • One of the best SNES games

  • Holy crap, I remember watching this commercial.

  • Metroid is kick ass after i watched this it gave me the urdge to play metroid prime

  • Enjoyed this game since i was 12 when i rented it and what a game it was.

  • @Johnlindsey289 One of the BEST Metriods ever. The Gamecube ones were awesome too! I still play this from time to time. I have never gotten the BEST ending yet!

  • Poor doggy! D8 Come 'ere,you cute little thin-

    *CHOMP-grrrr*

    AAAAAGGGH! HHHELP! HEEE'HH GON MBY NDOSE!!! GED HIBM OFFF!!!!

  • Was that guy a Zappa?

  • animal cruelty.... o.0

  • yep i remember way back when 24mb was a a big game.

  • the fuck was that?

    

  • YES! SHIP IT! PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHIP IT!

  • I'm so glad that dog didn't make it... otherwise the game might not have been shipped..!

  • Holy crap, I actually remember this!

  • I remember this commercial. I had no idea it was Super Metroid advertising. I thought it was another game because I do remember the freaked out dog.

  • Yeah

  • Funny this commercial is very Sega-ish.

  • What the fuck is that shit? The game is great but the commerical is wierd.

  • WARNING ONLY GET THIS GAME IF YOU LOVE ANIMAL ABUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how the hell is the gingers have souls video related to this in any way? fuckin youtube....

  • If I were Killer I'd be pissed

  • Come for the Super Metroid commercial, stay for the ginger rant.

  • BEST FUCKING GAME EVER!

  • @Nacso69

    TOTALLY AGREE! A LEGEND WHICH HAS SHAPED FORMED AND MADE MY LIFE !

  • funny how all nintendo products ook the same even after 20 years

  • @iamgig9876 funny how you didnt play them,and you think they look the same

  • I remember this ad! Hmm maybe I should dust off the SNES and have a playthrough n.n

  • Comment removed

  • This game would of been Chuck Norris approved,but Chuck Norris was too busy trying to beat the game.

  • This game deserved a more epic ad than this 'extreme 90's' hipshit.

    "Weapons, worlds and weirdos," my ass.

  • Heh, I remember that one. Fantastic fucking game too. Fusion sucks and the other Gamecube releases just weren't the same.

  • How come I never seen most of these f***ing commercials? The ONLY SNES commecrial I VAGUELY remember is Super Mario RPG. I remember the Conker's Bad Fur day commercial like it was yesterday. =_=.... are these commercials from Cable or exclusive to certain states or cities???

  • @NeCacaluXuxultic Smokin' trees will do that to ya.

  • @MrDynamoJoe @MrDynamoJoe, I don't smoke but it annoys the fuck out of me that I never seen a lot of these commercials..I remember the SNES one but... vaguely because I rarely ever watched that commercial.

  • Think it would have worked better if they had used a minpin

  • "The best play here"

    ...I thought it was play it loud...

  • i scored big time with this game i got it for 2 bucks at a gsale and im extremely happy with it

  • actually yes, the best nintendo game ever

  • Greatest game of all time!

  • I remember this commerical and it made me want to play it more! :)

  • best metroid game i have ever played in my whole life

  • poor dog...

  • So, instead of North America getting the original commercial for this game (which had American actors, a representation of the CHARACTER YOU PLAY AS and an explanation of the game's plot - and was only released in Japan), we get a commercial which has no explanation of what the game is and an annoying narrator.

    ...and people wonder why SM initially flopped (against Donkey Kong Country) when it was released.

  • Shocking evidence of animal testing in the video game industry! Let's all write to PETA! XD

  • i actually remember this commercial..

  • still remember when the game first came out lol

  • *dog comes out as a scared chiuaua* SHIP IT!

  • the beginning kinda reminds me of BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!

  • this game was fucking epic!

  • @Deidara188 I know! If only I can find the original cartridge for it, as well as Earthbound...

  • ridly disliked this...

  • 1 Mother Brain vs 120 Metroids

  • where is PETA?

  • This is why we call those games "Nintendo Hard."

  • that commercial fucking rules!

  • thumbs up if you miss the 90's gaming age

  • I downloaded Metroid (NES) on the Virtual Console, but I got Very irritated on the cursed passwords, so I think I'll dowload this instead

  • @SwedenTheHedgehog dude i advise you to download it. these peolpe arent lying its intense. its kickass man. i have download it already. those where good spended wii points.

  • Remindsme RE umbrella's scienteists with cerverus XD

  • Awesome Commercial!! ^_^

  • god i never wanna play this game if i do ill b shrunk to a baby boy U SAW WUT HAPPENNED TO DA DOG

  • @elocin1964 BUT IT'S FUN!! :D

  • lol doberman turned into chiuaua

  • Too bad I never saw the commercial, would have saved me some frustration.

    I always got stuck in the middle of the game trying to progress but never getting anywhere. It took me 8 years of playing the first half over and over again before I went online (about the time I had my own computer, 15 years old) and found out that the big glass pipe underwater could be shattered with a power bomb. It didn't show that with the x-ray visor. I was pissed...

  • @Ti22Turtle If I recall I learned about that by letting the game just sit... After the title screen sits for a while, it shows random gameplay and reveals secrets... Like how different beams combined with powerbombs create different effects and the crystal flash thing where you sacrifice ammo for full health recharge. Good times.

  • Honestly, I never liked it as much as Fusion, it felt so slow and it wasn't at all challenging to me, I love Super Metroid, don't get me wrong, though Fusion was fucking epic.

  • @TheDoomPig Really? I always thought that fusion was far too linear. That, and you're treated like a kid playing your first game; you're always told exactly where to go.

  • @ZMat3 Well Super Metroid when you think about it logically, there isn't that much exploration, sure there is compared to every other Metroid game, though it's freaking obvious where you have to go or what you have to do when you're 14+ Fusion just made me feel more incontrol and more like a bounty hunter, Super Metroid is overall the better game, though Fusion was my first Metroid game and the one I enjoyed the most.

  • @TheDoomPig Really? I'm 16, and I didn't have much of an idea where to go... I think I got Metroid Fusion when I was 10ish, and I easily beat it.

    It is not that I do not like it, it is just that the "computer" telling you where to go the entire time made it a tad too easy/linear for me... It is still a good game though.

  • @ZMat3 Well my first time playing was about a year ago, so I was 17 I think, and I just took random guesses and worked out the possibilities of where I could go quite easily, Fusion, is more of a mission based game, which is why it's faster than Super Metroid, I just felt so bored playing Super Metroid >.>

  • @TheDoomPig I like all of the classic Metroid games- Metroid-Metroid Zero Mission.

  • @MysticArksRevenge Metroid Fusion is the most fun in my opinion.

  • @TheDoomPig I think so too! I think it has a much darker storyline in that one.

  • No big discussion here! It was the best game.

  • the only thing i dont like about this is, that you lose alot of energy from speed booster dashing

  • This was the "shit" back then oh yea I remember that

  • this metroid and other m are simply my favorite metroid games ever.

    and i dont care what people say about MOM, this is the love/hate kinda game, just like super mario bros 2 and zelda 2

  • I loved this game when it first came out, and still do! If I remember right, I think this was the first Metroid game I ever played. This is still one of my top 3 fav. games to this day (the others being Zelda: A Link To the Past, and Goldeneye)

  • i was thinking about this game and zelda 3 and... metroid is much better !

  • Best game ever made, period.

  • BEST GAME EVER.....EVER....BETTER THAN MARIO 1 AND 3....BETTER THAN HALO2....BETTER THAN ANY FINAL FANTASY.....BETTER THAN ONG AND TETRIS....AN COOLER THAN ZELDA....WAY COOLER...AND DARKER.....AND ALOT MORE SERIOUS...BETTER THAN GOLDENEYE AND PERFECT DARK...BETTER THAN STREET FIGHTER 2...BETTER THAN EVERYTHING EVER PUT OUT ON SEGA,SONY,AND MICROSOFT....EVEN BETTER THAN THE ALMIGHTY TETRIS.....IT'S JUST THE MOST COHESIVELY PUT TOGETHER AND ALLURING GAME EVER.....GOOD JOB NINTENDO...

  • @TETTSUUO *tranquilizer shot* Did you HAVE to do it all in caps?

  • BEST GAME EVER.....EVER....BETTER THAN MARIO 1 AND 3....BETTER THAN HALO2....BETTER THAN ANY FINAL FANTASY.....BETTER THAN ONG AND TETRIS....AN COOLER THAN ZELDA....WAY COOLER...AND DARKER.....AND ALOT MORE SERIOUS...BETTER THAN GOLDENEYE AND PERFECT DARK...BETTER THAN STREET FIGHTER 2...BETTER THAN EVERYTHING EVER PUT OUT ON SEGA,SONY,AND MICROSOFT....EVEN BETTER THAN THE ALMIGHTY TETRIS.....IT'S JUST THE MOST COHESIVELY PUT TOGETHER AND ALLURING GAME EVER.....GOD JOB NINTENDO...

  • @TETTSUUO RELAX MEN WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS GAME IS THE BEST EVER :)

  • @METROIDROCKSXP98 THATS RIGHT! HE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!

  • LOL

  • ROXX!

  • The greatest Metroid commercial ever for the greatest Metroid game ever.

  • The game is fucking insane. But not as mentally insane as Earthbound.

  • @hypersonic64 True, and Mother 3... wow.

  • you dont play super metroid, it plays YOU

  • The only Metroid games I don't like are Pinball (just a boring pinball) and Zero Mission (not a good remake, too changed and that extension after Mother Brain sucks). Good thing they don't interfere in the storyline. I LOVE ALL OTHERS, they have creative plots, cool gameplays and good graphics for the time they're released.

    MY FAVOURITE IS METROID 2 because it's completely new and different from the 1st, and told more about the metroids than any other. Metroid Queen is the coolest enemy ever!

  • Chuck Norris gave his first thumbs up ever in 1994. And it was for this game.

  • Like this if you think that the SNES has the best slogan "the best play here"

  • Strange a giant dog,scared of ridley? all i heard was ridley roaring and his theme

  • late 80's had some what of a internet... i thinks

  • He said "Nintendo's biggest game ever", but, at the time, it was THE largest game ever created, out of all of them.

  • wow i remember this commercial, it sucked. 

  • This commercial does tell the truth...but it needed a more EPIC commercial

  • Super Metroid. Turn you into a bitch

  • This wasn't false advertisement. The game kicked the shit out of me before the actual gameplay!

  • the funny thing is you can buy this at the wii shop channel but then they didnt know the wii was awsome

  • @chewbacca447 the wii didnt exist yet then

  • @INEEDZALL thats the point they dont know if its awsome yet and they dont know what a wii is

  • @chewbacca447 dumbass

  • Great video game, but I love how they're bragging about it's an awe-inspiring 24 MB! I've played games that have patches that are eight times that size.

  • @CristinaFernandez Actually it was even smaller.

    When they said "megs" they ment megabit, 8 megabit is one megabyte so 24 megabit (Mb) is just 3 megabyte (MB). Most MP3 songs are bigger than that :P

    There are newer games as small as your patches, N64 games were everything from 4 to 64 MB though most were between 8 and 32. CDs could have a massive 500+ MB stored on them and where cheaper, guess what the 3rd parties prefered.

  • This game is unbelievable.

  • sucks that stemage wasn't around back then for Metroid Metal if that got into this game with that badass music into 16-bit this game would've been to epicly awesome for the world XD

  • why did the US commercials always try to outdo the Japanese? they seemed to do that alot in the 90s

  • A game so intense, the dog's breed changes.

  • @ledawg1138 I think I can explain this strange phenomenon. The game's awesomeness caused a paradigm shift in time and space, sending the dog spiraling backwards to the time in which its father f**ked its mother. The father f**ked a different dog, then the dog snapped back to the present as a different breed. XD

  • THE BEST OF ALL snes collection :D im very exited for the other m

  • Comment removed

  • man, what can i say about this game. it's full of graphics, awesome sound effects, u can turn on/off anything in ur inventory, insane music, and a bunch of other stuff. the best metroid game ever! i remember i couldnt stop playing it. i even took it while i walked the dog! that commercial is not lying! thats EXACTLY how i felt after i played it! i was in shock, my eyes were open as wide as they could, my body was paralyzed, and so i turned the snes back on! again, BEST, METROID GAME, EVER!!!!!!

  • This game makes you want to be a kid again.

  • pretty funny but they showed you pretty much all the bosses

  • This on a tape I have from USA cartoon express when they had a marathon of 2 peanuts movies.

    Peanuts..... Metroid.....???

    Nice ad.

  • "Hes a big boy, he can handle it!"

    that parts funny.

  • @ fataaronfishstick  have a sense of humor...

  • Aww poor chihuahua.

    LOL Pretty funny though! 5/5

  • Any of you know where to get a ROM for this that isn't messed with (hacked / abnormal speed, etc.)?

  • Chihuahuas don't mix well with Metroid

  • LOL! I remember this ad when I first see it... and I laugh so much, and I still laugh at it...

  • My god, I forgot how stupid video game commercials used to be.

  • Killer

    VS

    The game Super Metroid

    At the end

    The game wins

  • Best Metroid game ever!

  • i felt just like that

  • uhh never mind I got this game it;s good.

  • i might get a SNES for christmas and super metroid with it that would be cool, this game looks nice.

  • I will maybe get a ATARI or SNES I like games like street fighter and megaman and of course mario

  • Lol at the Chihuahua.

  • Poor dog. Look at his face.

  • truly one of the best games ever made

  • i remember how i felt when i saw this on TV when i was a kid waiting for this shit to come out. man, there's very few games that can give you that feeling.

  • lol, one of the best commercials ever, not only because its funny, but because it doesnt lie.

  • this commercial sucks compared to the japanese one

  • Wow, I wish I had a reverse aging effect on myself. :P

  • hehe, i remember this commercial XD

  • ROFL

    XD

  • After playing a 3 minute demo of this on brawl, I wanted to buy this game.

  • how much is now cuz i still got the game.

  • I got it too, but I wouldn't sell it for anything. It's that epic.

  • i had doubles of it once.

  • The cool thing about this commercial is that they weren't lying; this is one of the best games I've ever played.

  • The look on the dog's face at the end is priceless. XD

  • Yeah, i just got this game for christmas.

    It really is the largest nintendo game that I've ever played.

  • so thats how i can reverse aging affects on dogs lol

  • It's funny because that game really is the most intense game ever.

  • I remember seeing this commercial on the TV. It always cracks me upXD

  • *laughs*I was a 9 year old lass when this come out. It made me laugh and it still does!XD

  • poor puppy...

  • Aw, that's awesome! And cute.

  • "Ship it!"

  • I feel sorry for that dog...

  • omg this was burried deep in my brain.

    i didn't even know i knew that.

  • man I remeber this commercail and i feel old looking at it but I'm 18 lol

  • I remembr seeing this commercial. This was the first Metroid game I ever played. I still play this game to this day.

  • When I was in high school, they'd show this news broadcast from Channel 1 near the end of our third period classes. They showed that commercial once during a Channel 1 broadcast. A lot of us laughed at the commercial, and even the teacher laughed. It was awesome.

  • 24 Megs, lol.

  • this wasnt in the 80's. this game came out in 94

  • Was this really broadcasted? How spoiling! You see almost any boss already, and the cool "where do I need to go"-puzzle is totally killed, because they show that you need to plant a bomb in the glass tube. That was cool to discover by yourself and not a commercial.

  • Yeah I remember seeing this commercial before I got the game, and it ruined the glass breaking tube with the power bomb part in the water world for me hahah.

  • lol, spoilers with the glass tube

  • true, even though it isn't that hard to figure out on your own

  • The dog really has his reasons, this game is insane!

  • Lol! Finnaly a vg commercial I actually remeber seeing.
