Super Metroid US Commercial

This is the American Super Metroid commercial. Rottweiler goes in, chihuahua comes out. Yeah, the game is that awesome. Provided to you by the Metroid Database.

This video was obviously originally available in one of Gaming Age's awesome specials on videogame commercials.

Reminds me of how awesome Nintendo's commercials were back then. Now they just have that "Wii would like to play" shit

[sethisawesome]

super is amazing but so is prime D:

@sethisawesome ehh but i think the prime formula should get a break. i want another super metroid remake!

plus the end of fusion still leaves a few questions unanswered :mainly a possible conspiracy within the GA. could the ga be the new space pirates?!? i would love a game made on that!

@StevenUlyssesPerhero Well... Like I said it doesn't really answer your question, but notice other things too how different they were. Why? In case of ads - games were related with kids, so if awsome commercial, the awsome the game (suppose) to be. Maybe it was connected with budget, maybe with money, maybe even with imagination. Good example are the movies where mostly the attraction are the effects, not the plot. Games too. Mostly enhanced with repetitive idea. Lack of imagination? Kinda fits.

@DarkPatro56 That... Doesn't do a thing to answer my question. What does the century it was made in have to do with the quality of it? And why did you use Roman numerals?

[DarkPatro56]

@StevenUlyssesPerhero I tell you why. This won't exacly explain why, but the commercial was made before XXI century. Just take a look at cars (design), TV, music, games, movies, lifestyle at that time. Now take look at those things today.

Okay, WHAT the Hell did I just watch? Why are the Super Nintendo's commercials so much better than the PS3, the 360's, the Wii's AND the DS's/3DS's all rolled into one?

Personally I think prime is the best metroid. It took everything I loved about the 2D games and perfectly shifted it in 3D.

@LoquenderoPrincipe Same. Actually, I found OOT to just be ok. Its boring as hell imo. Nothings fun about solving 500 puzzles in a row.

@123doomdoom I do think Prime was good, ofcourse no where near as gud as Super Metroid, and yes I agree mostly becus of the lack of atmosphere, but a bold move by Nintendo to change the gameplay, and I always respected Nintendo for taking that risk. I am glad they hav taken Metroid bk to the side-scrolling style, becus like u I hav always felt the series was better in that style. I will say tho, I think Other M doesnt hav that same atmosphere either, compared to Metroid 3.

@sethisawesome Prime sucks ass. The atmosphere is not there. Metroid should only be 2d

Creative commercial, but it don't related with metroid game (except by commercial name...)
