I must confess that I have a huge boner for the classic Nintendo game Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out. The combination of simplistic boxing mechanics and damaging racial stereotypes is irresistible. How can you not pop one for an italian dude named Pizza Pasta? The above video, advertising the upcoming Wii Punch-Out title, masterfully takes advantage of my nostalgia. The casting for Doc Louis is spot on.

A cartoon ad break from 1991. I’m not sure why someone decided to capture this and upload it to YouTube, but I’m glad they did. That Mega Man 3 commercial is serious business.

Only available to those who preorder the inevitably terrible next-gen revival. I can’t wait for someone to arrange some bento art inside this that depicts Hitler’s head exploding.

This is a clip of the 1986 movie Game King, starring Takahashi Meijin and Makoto Hiroshi Mouri. Takahashi is better known in the United States as the protagonist of the wonderful NES video game series Adventure Island. He’s kind of a big deal in Japan… maybe because he can make a watermelon explode just by tapping on it.
