Family Commercials for the Family Computer

Thanks to GayGamer for today's excuse to talk about old Nintendo games. Even if we can't quite decipher all of the noisome talking in these vintage Japanese commercials for Famicom games, we love seeing the old classics advertised. Can you imagine a time in which Nintendo actively encouraged people to buy Urban Champion?

It's always nice to get a look at our old friend R.O.B., which, we hope, is next on the list of NES peripherals to be updated for the Wii. And we had forgotten that the Famicom Light Gun, Japan's Zapper, looked like-- you know-- a gun.
