Great ads, you can tell they had pride in the games they made.

[@83Chrisaaron]

The animated, live action, clay-mation and downright cheesy ads of the 80s and 90s were the best. That's sorely missing from a lot of game footage only (or overly mainstream oriented) ads in modern times, but there's occasionally great stuff like the Capcom Beat-Em-Up 'time travel' commercial and the FFVII remake short.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that either Ogata-san or Hataya-san produced the song for the Sonic & Tails 2/Sonic Triple Trouble commercial - it just souds like something straight outta Sonic CD! And notice how in the Sonic & Tails/Sonic Chaos ad, Tails' tails look more INVISIBLE than spinning in motion.

It sounds the announcer in the Sonic and Knuckles commercial is an American speaking Japanese.

[@83Chrisaaron]

Yep, a lot of games developed in America use a foreign voice over for the Japanese ad.

[@maxxbeatxxx]

Sounds like "BIOHAZARD" in Resident Evil japanese intro...

[@Vetusomaru]

@@83Chrisaaron Sonic was developed by Japanese developers though.

[@83Chrisaaron]

@@Vetusomaru Sega Technical Institute did 3 and Knuckles. I think with the series also being a bigger hit in general in America, that's why they just dubbed over the US commercial for Japan.

2:21 dude sonic sounds like boxy boy from parappa the rapper 2 and why is sonic not speaking Japanese

[@Crooked_Mantis]

In Japanese culture, it can be considered a 'cool' trait to show off the fact that you are multilingual. And since Sonic's marketing was all about showing how cool he was, he was also made to clearly speak both Japanese and English for Japanese audiences. You can hear him do this all the time in the Japanese versions of most Sonic games and there's a whole compilation of Sonic's Engrish from the Sonic X sub. (Ever since the first Sonic Adventure, his Japanese VA has pretty consistently been Jun'ichi Kanemaru, who was an English teacher in Japan for a number of years.)

[@Mitsuraga]

Sonic has always been presented as a Terry Bogard-esque American. I think the first publicly released recording of Kanemaru Junichi in the role had him speaking English, at least for the beginning "Hello, my name is" part.

[@egepro2455]

I miss old sega......

[@sonicelchorizoconuntoquede4871]

[@Vetusomaru]

I don't. They made many bad decisions that nearly bankrupted Sega. And yet Sega never learned from their mistakes and keep repeating them even today.

[@sebastianhernandezvazquez4922]

[@pacman6744]
