Let's have a retro ads/flyers thread!

I remember this from a booklet that was given for free to people who went to see The Wizard in theaters in 1989 or 1990. It was called Nintendo Pocket Power. I have yet to find any full scans of it and the ones on ebay still go for over $50.

I'll be damned if it didn't work though. Well, on me at least. As a kid I fucking loved that Play It Loud era of Nintendo advertisement. Hell, people love to make fun of the "this game stinks" Earthbound ad campaign, but I was into that gross-out Nickelodeon style humor, so that actually sold me on the game and made me beg for it for Christmas (which was a tough sell because it was a $90 game). Sure you can look back and think they're stupid, but there's a charm there that was pretty much completely lost by the time the Wii era hit and the marketing became bland and family friendly.

Google says that it was a prototype that Nintendo was trying out as an attempt to market game systems to girls that didn't go over so well with retailers.

That's generally superior and easier to respond to, yes.
