WTF Nippon, Part 58

Boy-band ensemble dancing plus Michael Jacksonesque moves: Check
Catchy but kind of retarded disco/house backing track: Check
Japanese rap without any consideration for microphone gain levels: Check
Puppets left over from Meet the Feebles: Check

Look, I'm not going to say they're doing the Cabbage Patch at the end, but I want to believe.

Do they think their dancing is going to kill Ganon?

Come to think of it they might be on to something.

hah...that's all I got, but it was entertaining. I have one question was Link played by a dude or a chick? I seriously couldn't tell.

Holy crap. I would buy this product IMMEDIATELY if given the option. I especially like that all the monsters are joining in the jammin'.

It was the Super Nintendo version of Zelda. This is an old commercial.  

It's like Thriller, only with people in renaissance garb and monster gear dancing in a styrofoam dungeon. Sounds like some goth clubs I've seen.

Yes, I caught that much, what with the big ol' "Super Famicom" logo and all. (The only parts of the rap I caught were "Zeruda no Densetsu" and "Supaa Famicon," which also get the points across. I was just saying that it was an effective commercial, is all.

Can "Zeruda no Densetsu" be taken to mean "Zelda's Fight" ?

Well, right now, I love this video more than my own life.

"Zelda no Densetsu" just means "Zelda's Legend" or "Legend of Zelda". It's a straightforward translation.

The commercial is awesome. I'm not sure what else I can say about it that wouldn't just be redundant.

Is Link being played by a girl? I can never figure that out whenever this video makes the rounds somewhere.

This is one of those cases where I'm not sure whether it is a guy or a girl, but I hope it's a girl, because I feel a slight sexual attraction to it.

All in all, this commercial is much better than the He-Man movie with Dolph Lundgren.

And that it's over 18, too (at least I hope you think that).

Oh, and I like the commercial.

It's a chick. I was totally hoping they would kiss when she gets the Princess out of the cage.

Damn.
