>I DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH!

I can't imagine why this game flopped.

Besides Sony screwing over the developers, I mean.

I remember these two.

...

...

These adverts are horrible.

...

...

Can you just use the clip-art of your competitors to slander them like that? Is that allowed?

Things like these are the reason Tim Follin abandoned music and became a pretentious game developer.

>Cat like control

Atari really used to love felines like a old single lady, it's a shame that they don't know what a cat is

Probably not, but it would have been faster to let Atari die than to get entangled in another lawsuit for 3 years. Again.

PS2 is the undisputed leader of fucking bizarre advertising. That early '00s aesthetic and desire to just throw shit at the wall and see what stuck.

I'll take it over #GreatnessAwaits any day.

>ps2/3 adverts

Its a good fucking thing the PS2 had a grandslam library of games cause no one is going to to buy a game console after watching this shit.

Case in point:
>youtube.com/watch?v=s8cG3AZjaD8

This wouldn't qualify as "weird" if it wasn't for the name.

I miss ads like this.

Gaming and promotional magazines aways got away it this, even today.

People who go into legal actions against this kind of thing are artists and photographers not directly connected to the big industries in need for recognition. But art like this is 100% owned by nintendo/sega and fuck the credits since they paid for it and has their characters on it. They are too big, rich and busy to track down images that they just nedded to use once for some cheap money or revenge

There was this one NP ad with the leaky barf bag, but I couldn't find it.

...

these are good

how the fuck were you ever supposed to know what any of these were about pre-internet days?

Buy the magazine review :^)

WE WUZ GAYMERS N SHIEEEEET

>Making a ginger black so he can play basketball

Is this South Park?

...

Am I fucking insane, or do I remember seeing this game in a kid's tv show? Honestly that's all I think about when I see this game and I can never find what I'm thinking of.

this is like digital LSD vomit

It may have been featured in one, but the game itself never got a TV show.

There's something haunting about those faces.

Cuck jokes aside, it's hilarious how this ad tries so hard to make Kiddy Kong look like a badass.

I'm glad they abandoned Kiddy Kong, he's so useless.

...

the random-ish sizing of the text reminds me of Sup Forums screenshot memes

Ads were fucking intense in the 80's and 90's

...

>tell everyone the game stinks in every ad
>bundle the guide with it so it's expensive
>wonder why it sells like shit
I love nintendo but damn they can be really fucking boneheaded sometimes.

It was hard to get gameplay pictures in good resoluction or official art from the source, so they needed to get creative to fill the page

>All those games got new installments but croc
lel

It was inevitable. Earthbound is one fo the most twee games ever made, and it was released in a time when every ad had to be as edgy as possible.

...

My favorite video game advertisement of all time.

Croc got one sequel and a gameboy color game. Still nothing compared to the other three.

Is the game good?

Those aren't that weird, they were just my favorite game ads back in the 90s.

Now advertising your controller via piss is weird.

It's pretty good, but it's one of the lesser AM2 games.

weird? this is hillarious
>shoots beam inside a box
>bean bounce
>MAYDAY! WE ARE UNDER HEAVY FIRE!

.Shit, thought you meant Last Bronx instead of Equinox.

No, Equinox sucks. It's a love letter to Spectrum platformers like Knight Lore, and those have aged really badly. Software Creations cut out all the NPCs and town areas because Sony wanted the game finished quicker, so all you have left is a dungeon crawler with barren overworld that cockteases you with what could have been.

They're right in that the game is ridiculously hard, though.

...

>The things that welcome everyone, are the things that no one wants

It could be worse. The mag issue I got that from was also hawking a PS1 revival of the goddamn Power Glove - ReqlityQuest's "The Glove".

...

Does career ending equal weird?

Not at all racist

This would have been called one of the all-time greatest ads if only Daikatana was not shit.

My favorite fucking advert of all time.

Romero's hubris prevented the game from being good.

To keep on topic did anyone actually play RE4 with the chainsaw controller?

...

I bought Daikatana in the launch

John literally fucked me

i couldn't tell you, i'm still on the third dungeon

Getting Apple Cabin Foods vibes from this.

Imagine trying to explain this advertisement to someone who had no idea who Elvis was

...

...

>people think it's a lowkey STD ad

desu I had no idea it was supposed to be Elvis. I thought it was 3 Canadians and a poutine sandwich.

I didn't know PSO invented that translation thing.

...

...

I miss 'our protagonists could murder yours' advertising.

>I didn't know PSO invented that translation thing.
It was so cool at the time. You could be play with someone from some other country, and the only barrier to entry was having a dial up account to plug into your Dreamcast. Having a modem built into the system was kind of nuts I think

I missed out. The game shut down long before I even heard of it.

...

>that slogan
>Hearts_of_Iron.jpg

...

I'd be his bitch anyday

You can still play it on custom servers.
Even if you're emulating, I'm pretty sure.

Oh wow, I was just thinking of this game in this thread. Some kid down a few blocks had it growing up. The only time I ever saw the game. Seemed pretty weird.

Erm, PO'ED

You're right, sorry.

I wonder if the PS1 version is any good. That port always looked like a half-assed attempt by 3DO to recoup the costs of their own failed console.

Fucking loved this game as a kid

Always thought this was cool untill i tried to play with it at a friends hpuse litteraly couldnt fot my fucking child hands around that bastard. It was like a soze up from the xb1 duke

Consensus is that it's not as good as DKC1 & 2, but still a good game in its own right. Main complaints involve Kiddie Kong and the soundtrack.

I only rented it at Blockbuster, but I liked what I played of it. Don't get the PS version if you want to play it again, though.

That bat controller looks exactly like a vibrator.

Too lazy to check the thread to see if this is posted. Enjoy.
