Nintendo Power Star Fox 64 Promotional VHS June 1997

- This is the rare Star Fox 64 Promo VHS tape,
On occasion, many subscribers of Nintendo Power magazine, along with game console owners who registered their consoles, received VHS tapes promoting the Nintendo 64 and games such as Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie, and Pokémon. One of the tapes covered both Donkey Kong 64 and Jet Force Gemini. Some of the tapes featured "hidden" previews at the end after the credits.
The practice has ceased with the availability of DVDs and online video. Nintendo Power included one bonus DVD in the August 2005 (v. 194) issue, featuring videos for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Nintendogs, and other games.
Shout outs to A Fox in Space: Episode 2 for spoofing the interrogation scene from this.
I remember getting this in the mail as a kid and watching it 10000000 times before the game even came out.
And then I played Star Fox 64 10000000 times.
This was 1000% my experience. I watched and rewatched this VHS *so* many times prior to the game coming out. Hi-res nostalgia, low-res video.
Nintendo knew their marketing. I did the same.
Bro me toooo!!!!
I remember getting the Starfox vhs tape, it arrived in the mailbox on the last day of 6th grade. Great way to start summer vacation.
My brother and I know this tape almost word for word 😆
This VHS lived in my VCR that summer before Starfox launched, man those were great days ❤❤❤
Nintendo Direct before Iwata and Reggie...
This was an awesome promo video, this was basically Nintendo's slap in the face towards Sega and Sony.
Surprisingly I still have this VHS tape til this day.
I think that VHS is buried somewhere at my mom's house. I remember ordering it back in the day.
Me too now I feel old lol

Who's here after watching "A Fox in Space" Episode 2?
Same!
jesus the references go all the way to the repeating smash cuts and the fucking pizza box!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
HUHUHUHUHUHUH
I’m in my 30s now. To this day, I still say “Hook it up. I wanna feel this myself.” just about anytime I’m connecting anything electronic. Lol.
Funny to see just how much this was referenced in A Fox in Space
Awww... back when Rare was working with Nintendo...
"you can do barrel rolls"
Indeed you can....indeed you can...
“Do a barrel roll!”
I played this game on a 50mg edible the other day. Probably the most fun ive ever had playing a video game in my life lol what a great game. Used to play it when i was like 5-8 years old. Born in 93’

I drove my parents insane playing this every day for about a month in 1997
4:06 i never got over the fact the first dude they kidnap is free but nonchalantly still hanging around and eating the pizza
4:07 I write screenplays and make sure to put the line "This is good pizza" into every single one of them because of this video.
1:30 That's an... uhh... interesting editing technique...
For anyone interested, the track at 5:42 is Steve Vaus - Hey You. It was used a couple of times on WWF Raw in the 90s
this is lore
I watched this so many times as a kid I can recite every line. I lived seeing the Zelds 64 footage, even tho its like 2 seconds long. I used to rewind and play that part over and over. Such great memories, thanks Nintendo! And thanks for the upload, "big boy!"
Same!
I remember when I freaked out when I saw "Zelda 64" as the last game in the list.
That must have been amazing.
Watching this just made me remember how much Nintendo absolutely crushed it in the N64 era. "Man that is one killer lineup!" Uh, you got that right.
Wow I remember getting this vhs in the mail. Almost 20 years ago...damn time flies.
Now it’s almost 30 years 😩
Oh my god, I should still have this VHS somewhere in my library. I remember this getting me so psyched as a kid for the game and particularly, for the Rumble Pak. Cheesy, but effective advertising!
Thanks for the memories!
THIS....is the RUMBLE PAK!!
Yessss I was a loyal Nintendo Power subscriber. 12 when this arrived on my doorstep. Still have it!
*kidnaps a guy with a fake pizza delivery, actually does give them pizza*
Mokuba: Now THIS is a kidnapping!
I'll try screaming, that's a good trick
[ear rape commences]
Happy 20th birthday Star Fox 64
Man its been so long since ive seen these....I wonder if i still got em. Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and Banjo Kazooie
Wow such a throw back a fox in space
Captured it quite I must say
Brings me way back. I had this tape and watched it countless times. 5:43 cheesy rip off rendition of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" intro riff and drum fill. Hallmark 90s shit right here.
never considered that. totally hear it now haha
No….BOB…..YOU just did!…
I had seen the original VHS tape of this. It's really awesome that A Fox in Space had parodied these scenes in episode 2.
Should have been a movie. It's that awesome!
i never had the magazines, or even know about them, but i had this tape and watched it all the time. it was so cool to see people on the tv talking about games
I used to play the shit out of this game. I also had the VHS tape for this and for Donkey Kong Country. The good ole days of Nintendo Power, when they really made you feel like part of a club. As a kid, this was like the coolest thing ever.
I remember those days too, I didn't know about the DKC video until years later, I also found out they made a VHS for the launch of the N64 & its earliest games, the first VHS I got in the mail was this one (Star Fox 64) & would later get the ones for Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie & Jet Force Gemini/DK64
Nintendo = Star Fox, Sony = Ace Combat 1-3, Sega = Panzer Dragoon Series. They all had some great flying shooting games.
I think I know why a lot of you are here, A Fox in Space Episode 2
Smooth move, Nintendo test pilot and lab guy. You denied the the strategy guide...but you LEFT THE GAME, CONTROLLER, SYSTEM, AND RUMBLE PACK IN THEIR WAREHOUSE!
During the scene with the Mario doll who's head is tripped in a vice, imagine if it had the dialog from the 1995 movie Casino?
the music when the start using the rumble pack, sounds like the first couple o chords on teen spirit in the chorus
Totally, funny to think this was only a few years after Kurt died
"You can buy it at the store!" lmao
A parody of this commercial will be featured in the second episode of "A Fox in Space".
I love this reference in a fox in space episode 2, absolutely amazing.
I got this VHS in the mail in 96/97 when I was in 7th grade. I got a 64 the previous year for Christmas right when they came out. I wish I still had this tape. I must've watched it at least 10 times.
Fun fact the Mario Doll here is the 1989 doll by Applause toys.
This looks like it was a blast to film.
This was the best promo video of ALL TIME. So glad we have RUclips to dig this stuff up!!
I mean, them hyping up the Rumble Pack is cheesy and seems silly, but rumble feedback has long since become industry standard.
Man, the memories...I still love watching the video.
"but Bob would kill me if i told you"... Is that the same Bob from "The Cave" the atarI Jaguar promo video?
How did they get away with using SEGA and SONY t-shirts?
***** It was being development but wan't announce to the public yet.
Chaoteee *90s lol
ThaKillaComa He is referring to television competitor product placement, often used to compare and contrast. Ya it been done since the medieval times of televised media (50's)
Ryan Wheeling He's talking about licensing fees/rights to use another company's logo/branding in a video.
I Nintendon't Know.
Sega had no Idea he would be dead within 10 years.
0:06-0:38
This song played in the LOUD HOUSE episode entitled "Sleuth Or Consequences" from Season 1 in early 2016. It played in the scene where Lisa was showing her files to the Loud children. It also played when Lincoln was acting like his favorite superhero whose name was Ace Savvy. It also played throughout the episode such as when they were investigating who caused a clog in the toilet. It also played briefly in the episode "Dance Dance Resolution" when Lincoln faces the music with Ronnie-Anne.
This song is usually used in scenes of suspense/confession/accusation during the television series. After being used in Season 1 it was no longer used. It had also been taken out of the APM library.
Them nostalgic feels
the memories
I used to watch this all the time. I had a Jet Force Gemini tape I would watch all the time too. Playing Star Fox 64 for the first time since my childhood on the Switch right now and as soon as I booted it up I thought about this video so I just had to put it on.
Times were so much simpler back then. Probably cause we had no responsibilities then LOL!
When I was a kid, this was mailed to me in a self stamped VHS package, Nostalgia.....
I like how he crashes into the boss when demonstrating the somersault.
This is so weird today, they ask questions that no one would ever make today like the rumble feature.
Sonny and Sagan from a Fox in Space.
I can't believe I own a copy of this masterpiece.
Whether they're fully finished or original, these are such good times.
Man, Super NES and Nintendo 64 were Nintendo's best escapades.
Hey, they stolen a fox in space ep 2
I didn't know iDubbbz was starring in promo videos back in 1997.
Thanks to TV Tropes I never would've guessed A Fox in Space ep2 was referencing this in their opening.
5:43
Discount "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
So much Nostalgia
I wish the Blue Marine was better utilized instead of just having only 1 mission for it in Aquas
This should be continued... unfortunally a publisher would get sued because of brand reputation damage today...
Nathan Fillion has done well for himself.
1:14 & 4:42 "Leave Mario out of this!" (I kind of want that Mario plushie) This was corniest thing & I love it! As a kid I didn't really understand what was going on, why were these Sega & Sony guys kidnapping Peter & Bob & why were they so fixated on Star Fox 64? When I got a little older I started to understand
man I played this tape millions of times till I got the StarFox game
Ok, who wants a nostalgia critic like review of these Nintendo Power VHS tapes?
I expect nostalgia critic to come up with a joke about Bob being the angry video game nerd's dad.
Aw man, these were the days
This was mind blowing at the time
I remember the movie Independence Day with will smith came out a year before this and when this came out I was like whoa, this feels like the scene from id4!
All these years and I just realized perhaps 0:07 is a PilotWings reference?
The voice that gives the "Feature Presentation" intro sounds like the Star Fox 64 Intro voice actor. It probably is, I assume.
I watched this vhs every day, even after I bought Star Fox. I wanted to be like Bob when I grew up...i miss Bob...
Jordan Stork What happened to Bob??
Childhood memories unlocked
it's up i posted it as a video response to this video and if im not mistaken there are more PlayStation commercials like this making fun of both Sega and Nintendo.
I still have that Mario.
It's the laugh at the end that makes this perfect lol.
If you never took the mission accomplished route to Andross you'd never get to see 1/3-1/4 of the levels and would have a false ending. I don't think you're hinted at how to complete the Corneria mission, which is why for months back in 97 I never did.
Fun way to get kidnapped, it’s like a chair that turns you into a character. Now days you get beat up in a chair like this.
I always loved how Sega was the big dumb guy and Sony was the little wise guy.
Ridgeway Films made a parody of this for Starfox 64 3D for the 3DS if you want to see a modern take on this promo.
Everyone one I knew loved this video. Even my mother, father, and grandmother thought it was funny in 1997
I imagine it’s Nathan Fillion here in this video, does he was a big time star.
At the pinnacle of my Nintendo fanboyism. Would watch this and the other videos several times a day until game was released.
They even had Mundial Ronahldino Soccer 64, poor Sega couldn't keep up.
why aren't modern nintendo direct like this?
This is the greatest, stupidest thing ever.
Only in the 90s.
That was amazing , boys
2:34 "You can do BARREL ROLLS"
Whenever I hear Sony fanboys losing their minds over the controller gimmicks in the Dual Sense, I always think of this video.
Who would have thought that that short test clip of "Zelda 64" at the end of the previews would turn into the most successful game for the system. Do they have a really corny commercial like this for Ocarina of Time?
Oh you got Star Fox 64... We only have Shenmue on Sega and Final Fantasy VII on Sony....
gabriel montreuil
Star fox 64 is all you'll ever need
Subjective, but I prefer Star Fox 64 to both of those games.
Who else came here from Did you know gaming - Star Fox Part 2?
Po-Chop Me
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
it's quite humorous and not nearly as shame-inducing as other promos. I actually laughed with the SEGA dude's "I'm on it" and "mih mih mih mih mih" (can't come up with the right transliteration) response he gives to "we have a lot of games coming out" xD.
