If I remember correctly the average price of a newly released n64 game was 59.99, and this game was 70 instead, so they still added the cost of the expansion pack onto the bundle, it wasn't "included for free".

...the good old days. When Rare was just awesome.

This game REALLY meant a lot to me! XD

The awesome thing about this game is that it can still be considered simply massive. Seriously, they throw so many things at you at once it's almost overwhelming. I ran through it a while ago and it took me a good 25 hours just to reach the end, let alone get 100%. Few games do that nowadays.

Fun Fact: That's the Hill Valley Courthouse from Back to the Future at the beginning of the commercial.

N64 must have wanted to give a LOT of surprises for all games, specially ones in the US since people started seeing a plenty of 'Never Have Seen Before' things. Like each character has their own unique way of using action commands, and has even got some face emos that will absolutely amaze us. Their commercials were SO wonderful as they had truly wanted to give us pretty much inspiration. Banana Invation - Donkey Kong 64! : )

I don't remember seeing DK64 commercial back then, but now I do.
