Video: Star Fox 64 Promotional Video

This video was sent out by Nintento Power before Star Fox 64 hit stores in 1997.  We had a subscription to Nintendo Power so we got this video cassette, yeah no dvds back then, in the mail and proceeded to put it in the vcr and watch it.  This video was so entertaining that we watched it over and over again and memorized the whole thing, I can still quote it today. 
For one thing the acting in this video is hilarious.  They take it so seriously yet it's still over-the-top and goofy.  The way Nintendo portrayed Sega and Sony in this video is interesting as well.  Sega is a big doofy guy who is just a follower and is dumb.  While Sony is the cunning, mob type guy who is like a rat.  While Nintendo is portrayed as the cool person who also is better than all the rest. 
The video made me want to play Star Fox 64 right away.  I don't know what it was about the Nintendo Power videos but they did a great job at making me want to play whatever they were advertising.  They were able to put in the jabs at the competition while also putting in the serious information about the game.  It must be noted that Star Fox 64 was the first game to incorporate the new rumble pack which according to the video "lets players feel the game."  This was another revolution in the gaming industry as now you see the rumble feature put into every game on every system.
I thought this would be a great video to start the video series with.  It is both funny and educational, and it's one of the more important videos for me as a gamer. It has some history to it and it is also very unique.  I will end this off with the best line from the video and it is the epitome of propaganda in the video.  It is said by Sega after being shown the light by Nintendo: "We just can't beat you guys."
