The Game Boy was challenged for its handheld crown many times, but it ate those other portable systems for breakfast. Here are two ads for the Sega Game Gear, a superior handheld that just couldn’t knock Nintendo’s black and white beast off the top.
Say, isn’t that fat kid Ethan Suplee, the guy from My Name is Earl? Sega compared themselves to Nintendo all the time, and here they are suggesting Game Boy players are retarded. Take that, Mario!
I don’t know what the deal with that lady is, but she seems to be coke’d up. Did you catch her Psycho Crusher-like spin attack? Perhaps a side effect from playing fruity Game Gear games. No wonder this handheld failed.

haha...nice blog, ok alway stay cool
I remember that first commercial. Yeah, that was supposed to be the GameGear's big draw; color. Well. That doesn't mean anything if the games suck. :P
And then it was also tragically funny that the Nomad was released when the GG was basically already dead. Que lastima....
That second commercial is very Japanese. That's all I can really say. :P And the scary thing is, I don't think they needed to coke that lady up. :O
Thanks, erickia. :)
The sad thing is I really wanted a Game Gear after watching this ad. It was in freaking color, man! And you gotta love the squirrel at the end.
I doubt that Japanese ad got anyone to buy the thing, and maybe even made the few who bought it return it.
