Street Fighter for Super Nintendo Commercial

[MrPepto2]

its so fake asshole. youve made it in your house.

[delli620]

i always thought capcom left alot of money on the table on the way they handled sf2. when the game first came out i swear i would have bought any toy, any t-shirt, any anime, cereal or whatever but it took them several years later till they started bring merchandise out and so i ended up only buying the snes game.

[psxdc64x]

you know the dinosaurs!

[psxdc64x]

Thats from the movie The lost world!

[FactorySong64]

These people must've loved 808 State...

[TheLegendkiller2100]

Could please not put that crap at the end.It's annoying and stupid!

[TheBlindmonster]

Play guiles theme with this and it fits perfectly!!!

[abid172]

Fuck you nintendo i want my money back i was addicted To snes like it as crack i would buy any game that had a cool picture and get home to play a shitty game like rampart

[rhinonose]

wow, cubik much?

[rumbazz]

it's more reasonable to shell out +70$ for cartridges than pay 59.99 for current-gen games on disc based media. cartridges last a very long time seeing as how it's a hunk of plastic with a tiny pcb containing all the game's data on it. I think it's bullshit that the industry raised the standard price of games by ten dollars seeing as how consumers steadily paid $49.99 for a brand new games from the 32bit to 128bit era.

[Souper13]

That commercial cost nothing to make while using the stock footage. Still a pretty good one. I believe SF2 was like $70. I had it on sega and bought two 6 button controllers which were the best damn controllers and still might be. Too bad nobody knows that

[ibanezno1]

@Souper13 I remember that! Those 6 buttons were great and a necessity for the Genesis version of Street Fighter. I had the SNES version of SFII Turbo, but I also own a Genesis with a 6 button controller, so I know what you are talking about. :)

[arod2211]

808 State!

[DrClay999]

ha ha, the ending looks like that person is part of the commercial, with all the roaring and all. XD

[RikiOhRed]

Back when people tried to make Ads.

[NETGURU2525]

Nobody remember when cds first came out, was the tex murphy game not $120

[McSpizzy]

I still have the Nintendo Power issue that featured this game.

I got swag, bitches.

[IAMWEEGEE24]

HADOUKEN!!!

[VampyricalCurse]

I was just mind fucked.

[TheEmperorHasSpoken]

Mortal Kombat, both commercial and actual game, were/are so much better...

[MuratArkin]

0:14 It's a stock shot from the first film adaptation of "The Lost World"

[RattyRandnums]

Looking 4 Public Domain footage for your commercial?

I wonder if we could identify all of the movies/clips used here? I know that's an extra and Bela Lugosi in "White Zombie" at the 0:01 mark, and Dinosaurs from "The Lost World" (1925) at 0:08 and 0:14 I think that might be a scene from "White Pongo" at 0:13 but not sure. And I believe that's Brucesploitation star "Bruce Le" (real name Wong Kin-Lung) but I have no idea what particular movie the clip is from.

[DoctorPorkenfries]

They don't make commercials like this anymore. Commercials suck now. How many commercials today feature random scenes of old monster movies for no reason? None. It's terrible.

[zenmart]

I remember this ad! lol

[motherbrain86]

can never play a port of this when you have capcom classics collection vol 1 with the arcade version

[ultramegatrion]

once street fighter II came out..it was all night long on weekends playing it..non stop!!

[pratikh]

The 80's Tetris commercial is the king of all old-school game commercials.

[superjoker55]

I want to see this again at tv :D

[KarateCop]

There was another SFII commercial similar to this and I remember that one of the things they showed were two guys dressed up as skeletons clapping and it was similar to this. That's all I remember though.

[mariopianofreak]

its calles street fighter but they fight inside sometime?

[RoboShinKen]

Lol'd at the end.

Its that lady who said "the devil is in this house!"

[shogunblade]

Did anyone see "Metropolis" interdispersed into the commercial?

What in god's name did Nintendo Executives smoke to come up with this?

[xyzoneon]

@shogunblade Was capcom, not nintendo.

[naptu1]

what the hell?

[scir91]

i never played this version because i bought the super famicom version, 6 months ahead of this release, for $120. was worth every penny.

[MORTALKOMBAT852]

what the hell just happened

[Meetero]

Yeah carts were expensive. N64 games were $110 after taxes here. Luckily I never bought a shitty one, but could you imagine dropped that kinda money on a game like Superman 64?

[igoraln]

So baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ad!!!!!!!

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

Wow that was a creepy ending

[HomersStandIn]

smoking weed and playing super nintendo. Teen years well spent =)

[DaltonMan321]

The background music reminds me of 808 State.

[Holothurion]

I only cn think of one thing when seeing this commercial: W-H-A-T T-H-E H-E-C-K?

[SuperMario811]

DAMN I MISS THE 90's....

[Humtuer2]

Awesome

[PikaChamp112]

this one one messed up ad

[chuchorc]

i remember saturday morning eating ceral and watching all this christmas nintendo commercials dang good times what happen to the world

[TheNativeDialect]

Why does the beginning of this commercial's song sound exactly like the beginning of the song "Cool Corporation" from the Playstation 2 version of Shinobi? Anyways, I love how this commercial has almost nothing to do with Street Fighter. Lots of random old black and white clips with a few in game clips. Advertising was really different back in the day.

[yorgrish]

I remember seeing this commercial on TV a bunch of times, and buying the game 2 weeks later for $70. Damn cartridges were expensive.

[ibanezno1]

@yorgrish

Same here. People who think games are expensive now at $60 might not remember how obscenely expensive cartridge games were. Some were even sold at $79, and that wasn't too uncommon...ouch.

[sargentjaybear69]

Remember VR (Virtua racing) Megadrive, the cartrigde was huge and cost £70.00 uk pounds!!!!!

[DJCandyManMike]

@ibanezno1

I remember those days well. Street Fighter 2 was one that cost us $79, but that's exactly why $60 a game ticks me off now. The discs are cheaper to manufacture than cartridges, but they're approaching the price we paid for the more expensive cartridges.

[xyzoneon]

@ibanezno1 As far as I saw, Secret of Mana took the cake in price.

[darkroronoa]

@ibanezno1 and i guess 79$ back then was much more worth than today's 79$

[cheznar]

@ibanezno1 I remember when Killer Instinct came out and I saw it with a tag of 99.99 of course that was at a Sears store back when they had a small department of gaming wares I do recall things being in the $70range and upwards it seems like things were priced more un-evenly back in the days for some reason. It seems that the stores were the ones that had the final say on how much the item would cost. I wonder if theres some type of price regulation that keeps most things even now days in price.

[MmediaCreators]

@ibanezno1 ?? where were u living in at that time?,

ps2 games were ether 19'99, or 39'99

and they take more time to make,

how in the world would super nintendo games be 80$ in the 90's?

maybe today because of theyre rareness, but thats a different story.

some ps2 games like

capcom vs snk 2 or fatal frame are very good and rare games, which i cant find any were only online

for more than 200$

and its only been like 8 years,

[dunnono00]

@MmediaCreators

Nah, games could be as high as $80 back then. It depends on the area and what kind of store, as well as what kind of game, but it's not made up. I don't think I've seen one for more than $70, but it was a long time ago. It wasn't the common price though.

PS2 games, at least new, were typically $50, and less if they became a greatest hit, or a budget title.

[AlexBuono1974]

@ibanezno1 Mate, I paid £65 for streetfighter 2 when it came out.....the pound was at $1.65 or thereabouts.....looking back we got royally fucked paying for cartridges back then....

[2frenchfrog]

@ibanezno1 act raiser was 90$ at computer centre when it came out.

[ShiningWolf1992]

@ibanezno1

Sorry to bother you because of an old comment.

But we all have right to complain since games nowadays are expensive.

I understand the cartridges since they are more expensive to make with all the plastic casing and other components, but the game discs are ridiculously overpriced for the fact that they are so much cheaper to make.

[runtaylor13]

hahahaha

[luca1300]

lol awesome

[killerogun]

WTF?!

[zombieiscool]

Some how I feel they used Subliminal Messaging in this commercial.

[BlueKnightNight]

What did I just watch. I mean, was it Bela Legosi at 0:01 - 0:02? A lot of stuff they threw in the Street Fighter commercial.

[basketballchickensod]

@BlueKnightNight i know lol

[SpamNapkin]

This is the most early 90s thing I've ever seen

[basketballchickensod]

@SpamNapkin me too lol

[goldensolder44]

hey! Is that song cubik from 808 state.

[Dev724]

yea i remember when that commerical used 2 come on. 80s babies know about this one. so many memories...

[baronvg]

Yup. I remember this commercial. That quick frame of a kung fu movie, that dinosaur lip curl at the end, I remember all that. Wow!

[basketballchickensod]

@Dev724 :)

[britainmalbangkok]

@Dev724 90's bitch

[bboyStuntZ]

@Dev724 this was a 90's commercial though

[borninthe90sdecade]

rah blud was this really an official advert for sf2

[RemusTard]

If you look closely, you can see Moe & Larry near the 12 second mark.

[zedrein18]

Yep, they're just there for a split second!

[yoyoofdeath]

omgroflolmao!

wtf?

im confused and amazed at the same time

[jeremyschultz1]

Looks real to me... :P

[asdasdqweqwe2131]

wtf is this...

[WikiSorcerer]

Was that Béla Lugosi in the backround?!?

[DarakuTenshi]

I like you you put that crazy woman in at the end.

[Terminator860]

lol what was that all about?

[Quinn5151]

holy shit

[KygonsCube]

my eyes hurt a bit

[nintendogsyo]

"Grawl" LOL

[TheDiabloKnight]

wtf??

[Foo3112]

I remember this commercial

[figment1988]

was this for the original Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, or the Hyper Fighting version?

[jstephenj]

It was the World Warrior edition. The commercial aired during the fall of 1992. Also, Capcom aired another commercial ad for Super Ghouls n Ghosts at around the same time, which was odd given that the game had been released the previous year.

[JunJP02]

I remember that.

[richkawaiipikachu]

Errrrrr what the fudge
