Kids with their auto saves nowadays...back in my day when we died we had to play the whole game over again!

I’m 44 years old and can’t remember half the stuff that happened last week, but I’ll have the Konami code permanently etched into my memory till the day I die.

Kids today just sit motionless when they play video games, but back in the 80s, we used to move around a lot when we'd play.

The commercials always show people being EXTREMELY excited playing the game even if its a tetris game...

Could they have found a more obnoxious way to advertise Zelda?

So much excitement in the commercials then as compared to them today. Nintendo needs this kind of advertising skills again

I miss the simplicity of the 80s and early 90s.

These crack me up. They basically make it look like you’re actually going to do things instead of stare at a screen for your entire youth.

Anyone else remember doing back flips and shooting lasers out of your controller when playing the NES? Ahh those were the days :)

Old school games are way better then the boring games these days.

"The Nintendo Entertainment System. Your parents help you hook it up."

i remember most of these. the late 80's and early 90's was an awesome time to be a kid.

WOW, NICE GRAPHICS!

When my grandma bought me my first NES back in 87 it was still prob most excited feeling ever , even over getting first car etc. It was cooler back then because everybody pretty much had the same games so when you would get with friends it was always high competition. There was always a token guy who nobody could beat.

The one where the planet has the face of Mario is epic.

Now you're playing with POWER

Metroid and Mike Tyson's Punch Out are still two of my favorites and still two of the toughest games out there. Nintendo made great games.

So glad I grew up on this! I still have my NES from 1989. I even got the Top-loader, (NES-101) as well as the Japanese Famicom.

that fucking dr mario commercial still haunts me to this day.

I love how they tried to emphasize that Kirby is "tough" and "dangerous" and "a master of weapons" to try and sell the character to Americans >_<
