Board 8 » What four commercials are on the Video Game Commercials Mt. Rushmore?
Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Commercial-specific-rules: Needs to be a REAL commercial for a real video game or video game console. No parodies or dubs.

I'm also willing to accept commercials for products that are not games/consoles as long as they are primarily centered around an existing video game IP, like Mario's commercial for milk or Sonic's commercial for Progressive Insurance. I don't think there's enough of those to be its own Rushmore so I'm allowing them here.

You can vote for a series of similarly themed commercial for one product in a specific window of time, like "GameCube Animal Crossing Mascot Suit Series," or "Segata Sanshiro series," but you can't say things very vague things like "Dreamcast commercials during its launch."

PLEASE BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE WHILE VOTING, something like "the one for Pokemon Red and Blue" doesn't mean anything. I will NOT ask anyone for clarity, I will just be throwing your votes out if I don't immediately understand what you are talking about.

If you are worried I won't know what your vote is then please post a YouTube link or point to an existing post that already did. I will say I think I know most of the major commercials I think people will be voting for here.

I almost didn't do this one because it will be hard to tally, please work with me here or I won't be doing Rushmores for things like this in the future

TRAILERS ARE NOT COMMERCIALS

thank you everyone posting videos

also added a rule last minute:

TRAILERS ARE NOT COMMERCIALS

@UltimaterializerX you can change your GTA6 one, I should have thought of that first.

I'm going to add Video Game Trailers to the nom list because it's a good idea

I might combine Kevin Butler votes, all the commercials are pretty similar and came out in a pretty limited timeframe before he got shitcanned. I think there was an offshoot series with Kevin Butler and that one kid (Marcus?) that I would consider a second series of commercials

It's funny how when the Wii's name was revealed everyone thought it sounded dumb. We'd been anticipating the 'Revolution' and instead we got something with endless puns to riff off.

Then Nintendo put out the 'Wii would like to play' commercial and sold like 100 million console units. Guess they knew better.
It's Reyn Time.
Two for now:

SSB's live-action happy-together commercial most people are nominating

PSP's nut-commercial (you said console commercials count so I'm assuming handheld commercials do too):

some of these i've never seen but wish i had. i'm just scrolling through the topic, only one that i immediately knew was the Smash commercial and it's what came to mind first.

for other picks i saw in here, and assuming Kevin Butler's being combined:

Smash, Wii, and Kevin Butler all are top notch. but if we have to pick from that entire compilation will change accordingly. LttP is just some crazy shit.

For the second and third one here, remove those, add on the DoA3 "she kicks high" and the creepy PS3 doll because holy shit that thing.

Lol, I tapped PBF in the poll on mobile, then made the mistake of assuming it inputted correctly and hit 'Vote' only to see it somehow selected 8-Bit Theater, and I can't edit it. Good job, Fandom. So, -1 8-Bit, +1 PBF.

Edit: probably not because it's a commercial for G4TV now that I think about it.

this is a really good commercial I still think about sometimes. It doesn't count because it doesn't focus on any video game IP in particular but I appreciate the shoutout
