Gameboy pocket - Stick it in Your Pocket!
I never saw this commercial, but it reminded me so much of the commercial for the
WCW/NWO Uncensored wrestling pay per view from 1998, then I scrolled down to the comments, I wasn't the only one!

Edit:

This was always a good one.. it's funny how they used to always trash talk each other back then. Imagine if a current PS4 commercial started with driving a truck over an Xbox? It would never happen these days
One of the early 3DO commercials (prob 1993 era) :

This blew me away when I was in middle school and it still sends chills down my spine.

I think it's time we revived this thread about our favorite video game commercials across console generations. We all know the persuasiveness of a good ad campaign for video games. Some are outlandish and over-the-top. Some are realistic or shot with live-action. Others may portray the actual game, be it setting, highlights, and graphics. So if you think back to the commercials that showcased upcoming games, what are some of your favorites?
Mine personally is:
We Are ODST. A Live-action commercial that is awesome in all meaning of the word. I simply loved how they did this one, captured the atmosphere and made the life of an ODST believable and realistic. The narrative is awesome and I can remember shouting at the TV about how awesome the commercial was. And, probably for that reason, ODST has a warm spot in my heart.
A close second, is the
Believe Campaign for Halo 3. I loved the details in this commercial, and think it's beautifully done.
