Isn't there an urban legend that Nintendo bought up the rights to those Super Pornio movies starring Ron Jeremy as Mario just so they'd never be released?

The play testers "make sure there is no smoking, drinking or excessive violence" hahaha! ^_^ What an outright LIE! Play-testers don't have any say in the content beyond how to fix what is already there on a mechanics level or maybe some say in the design if they feel its not playing out correctly.
I recently purchased 6 rare Nintendo promo VHS tapes from the 1990's. To my knowledge most of the videos have not been seen publicly since they were made. They are now on youtube for all to enjoy.
Thank you! That's an awesome gesture.

The Nintendo testers actually did check out those things, though.
Your welcome. Glad I could help save these for gaming history. I would hate these to be lost when the VHS tapes finally go bad.

i remember getting a Banjo kazooie one made me want to buy the game when it came out.
Posted a thread about this days ago, hardly got any replies:-( I suck at naming threads I guess.
EDIT: Oh, they're actually yours? Well fuck me then.

I'd rather not say the specific dollar amount, but it is close to $100 per tape. As far as I can tell from my due diligence, most of these have never been seen since the '90s.
I would imagine there are more of them out there somewhere, but I would imagine most of them were destroyed by the retailers/businesses that received them. They probably got tons of these back in the day.

Really cool.
I loved the Play It Loud campaign, it felt Nintendo was really in touch with the MTV generation for just that passing moment. Also, legendary DKC reveal of making the audience guess the platform. Most thought it was a NU64 sneek peak. Never seen that Illusion of Gaia logo before. The final one is a million times better.
Reminds me how 1994 was truly the best year of Super NES - Super Metroid, Stunt Race FX, Secret of Mana, Uniracers, Donkey Kong Country.
