Random: Sega Recreates Classic '90s Commercial For Sonic Mania Plus

Can't wait for my copy to arrive myself! And that commercial was fantastic.

Wooo Nathan Barnatt!
Sega recruited the perfect guy for this job.

Nice and cheeky, I like it. Genesis DOES. I may pick this up after the holidays. Big purchases reserved for Starlink, Pokemon w/ball, and SSBU right now.

going to get this (:

Haven't seen Nathan Barnatt (of Keith Apicary fame) in a while.

Looking forward to playing this tomorrow! 😎

Absolutely love this.

Sonic Mania Plus is all old news! When can I Buy Finger GunZ on My Xbox One?

Ha! Finger GunZ...

"Spend thousands on random loot boxes" Bwa ha ha ha!

I remember that original commerical lol! "SUP-er Mario World!" XD
Ah the 16-bit wars and SEGA with the 'tude commercials... Good times. I have no idea why SEGA refuses to do what works for them, and sadly, as good as Sonic Mania is, I doubt SEGA will "learn" from it. But we can hope, right?

"Trade in your brand new console for $5 credit" so funny I wanna swear...

A lot less cheesy than I imagined it would be. Well done, Sega's marketing team. Just make sure your developers follow suit in your pursuit of quality.

Good old SEGA. I'll take both 😉

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Sega Ages supposed to start this month?

Oh heck yes I'll be getting a copy of this beauty.

@MeloMan Sonic Forces already proved you right ; they didn't learn.

@BanjoPickles With the complete lack of details regarding it I’d say it’s a way off.

I’m really interested to know what is happening

Sure Sega can make a good ol commercial but it’s still only the fan programmers that can make a good ol Sega game! Sad but true

Finger GunZ lol

I got my copy today and I've been enjoying it a lot! I like playing as Ray more then Mighty though. Encore mode is pretty cool, some differences from the mania mode (from what I played so far) and instead of lives, you get a character to play as (if you are Sonic and Mighty and Sonic dies, you go to the next character you got from a box). The art book is also a nice touch

Also, that guy looks like Keith Apicary, which is cool Sega got him to do it. He's a big Sega fan, and I love his christmas episode with AVGN lol

Very cool.

Like it even more now that I saw the tweet above with the original ad that it's aping.

Nice one, Sega.

I love this. Good reminder that the real hardcore gamers are the ones who play games like Sonic, not Call of Duty

Wonder if the DLC will hit midnight or afternoon?

Can you guys Nintendo Life stop using videos linked to Twitter?I'm sick of getting that message where it asks me if it can use me as a part of its analytics everytime.

Now that Sega has come back again maybe Radio Shack will come back again in Hobby Lobby.

That commercial was great.

I would have liked to see a Mario title on the left. Tennis Aces for maximum sass. I wonder if online memesters have the time or inclination to edit different games into those tv screens... so much potential

The irony of this commercial is that the original version of this ad had Sega trying to play up Sonic and the Genesis as faster, edgier and more mature than Nintendo's offering. Now the roles are reversed, Sega is now trying to play up Sonic Mania Plus as more colorful, light, and fun compared to the edgy, mature game. Funny how times change isn't it.

Cool! They got Nathan Barnatt (a.k.a., Keith Apicary) to do the ad! Despite his controversial, Andy Kaufman-like stunts, I think he is a cool dude who really knows his stuff when it comes to video games. I would love to meet him in person someday!

I’m tempted to buy Mania, although I’ve never been a huge Sonic fan.

@Savino He did a recent appearance on AVGN as Keith, no?

@Savino I recommend watching the newer AVGNs. They are really good.

Don't you love it, the time where there was actual competition. Now they all love each-other, yuck!
