How many of these Nintendo games do you remember? Which one was your favorite? Leave a comment below and let us know!

[@RW-ij1ci]

I wish I could go back to being a kid in the 80s again....

[@Partinaire]

28:27 I had the BIGGEST crush on the guy screaming “Mario! Mario!” at the beginning of the Super Mario Bros. 3 commercial lol 😅

[@waymonboyer5969]

These bring back memories

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

Batman on the NES is criminally underrated. It's never mentioned with the best games on the system but it has everything.

[@RememberTheseAds]

Couldn't agree more! Batman is one of my favorites. Its one of the first games I bought when I got back into collecting NES games.

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

@@RememberTheseAds Same here haha.

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

I remember that game.... and how I would play the tie-in games BEFORE I saw the movies.... dunno why but ey

[@Birdman669]

15:37 Zelda: shut him up I’m trying to sleep!?😂😂

[@shanelamereux9878]

Yo, that one guys voice on everyyyyy singleeeeee comerciallllllllll

[@Spiritwrl]

Cabal was so fun! You could blow just about everything up.

[@tlee656]

The narrator for that commercial was none other than James Avery, or as we all know him, Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bell Air, or Shredder from TMNT.

[@justmelscorner2811]

Love these! Also noticed how the really crappy games had like 2 seconds of gameplay footage lol

[@davidcolantuono3622]

I may not remember every single Nintendo game shown in this video, but those I do remember give me heavy emotions and extreme nostalgia. You have no idea how much I want to go back to the #GoodOldDays and stay there forever! 😭😭

[@Pro32142]

I love video game commercials😂

[@AdamKoebel]

I think that Cabal ad is voiced by Uncle Phil.

[@tlee656]

Indeed it is!!

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

I liked that DR MARIO commercial with the kid's teen sister who gives him the mumps (it's okay, mumps aren't just an STD).... she looked like ME but I had glasses....

[@R-Otaku747]

Aaaaay Dragon Quest commercial! Or should I say.. Dragon Warrior lol

[@chrisperry1985]

I wish ya could make a vid with all English NES commercials maybe even original Gameboy commercials too I don't know of any YT vid that has them all I know of a vid a hour long that has Japanese commercials too but I don't know words in that language.

[@paranoidgenius9164]

An escape from the typical modern day developers with their built in micro transaction systems in games, milking franchises to death, & pretty much guaranteed plug & play, instead of long install before you can play the bug ridden mess!

[@samsouders2963]

That’s only if you choose to play live service games my friend. & I can download a game and play it in 10 minutes. Tired of this “everything used to be better” mentality. It was fun then but it’s only gotten better

[@paranoidgenius9164]

@@samsouders2963 I prefer physical media myself where you can see it there & you know it's real & genuine, with downloads of full games, you don't get what you can touch & feel. Final pressed disc games were quite reliable when it came to being bug free & being quite satisfied with it. Unlike downloadable content which hasn't been thoroughly tested & may well trigger unintended functions.

[@Zevis48]

Better than bland open world games with filler content

[@chrisperry1985]

If ya like live-streams of games Darby of Blue Television Games streams Super Mario Maker 2 on most Sundays 'Church time' and on most Tuesdays he does a stream of usually lots of classic games from lots of classic video games systems suggested by lots of people in the chat 'watching the stream'. He keeps his YT family friendly so kids can enjoy and he shows his pets two of which is a dog with a Mario character name and he posts his streams/vids on both Facebook/Twitter encase people wants to watch again or didn't get to watch live 'he been on vacation this week if ya see this now but just this week'.

[@tlee656]

Is that not Chris Potter in the Power Glove commercial?!

[@user-db7ej7my6g]

😂😂 so family guy took the song from a game?

[@shanelamereux9878]

fork yea

[@theafchefstable8284]

Absolutely hilarious that they use kids to test ducktales Fully aware no kid there age could beat the game besides....The wizard!!

[@piratestation69]

LJN games sucked so bad
