Greatest japanese game commercial. EVER!
Niero05.30.08 - 11:49 AM 6 comments

WWAAAAABABABABABA!!!! I loved this game. In terms of quality puzzle games on the Dreamcast, it was either Chu Chu Rocket or Mr. Driller for me. But admittedly, the japanese commercial is even better than the game. It features their demonic cartoon cat chewing mice, an amazing song that defies musical genre (check out this drum and bass remix on DaleNorth.com, thanks D!), and the world's shortest gameplay cameo coupled by a japanese girl yelling something. If that doesn't sell you, I don't know what does. Wait, scratch that. Here we go:
