Top 5 Ads that broke the video game industry | TierraGamer: news and entertainment about anime, series, video games and technology

Now that we are in the mere age of announcements, trailers and revelations of the movie industry video game We got a little nostalgic and wanted to look at the past.

For this reason, we decided to make this top 5 with the advertisements that in our opinion broke the industry because they presented either highly anticipated things or precisely an innovation that had not been seen.

5 – None of the announcements in Smash history were as good as the arrival of Mega Man in Smash

For years smash bros It was characterized as a series of fighting video games that brought together several of Nintendo’s most iconic characters. Although with Brawl we saw the arrival of Sonic and Solid Snake to the fray, nothing prepared us for the sequel to see the inclusion of one of the most classic heroes in video games: Mega Man

If you were alive to remember it, you will know the great excitement its reveal trailer caused. Hundreds of YouTubers and reaction videos brought out the best screams of excitement from him when they saw him fight against Mario and company. Although other third-party video game heroes later arrived in Ultimate, we believe that none of their announcements received the same authentic excitement as that of Capcom’s blue bomber.

4 – First trailer for Halo 2

The now defunct E3 gave us many memorable announcements, but in its 2003 edition it gave the players of the time a surprise that, although it was seen coming, did not fail to impress with its first trailer: Halo 2. Maybe it won’t seem like much to players today, but the display of their gameplay they gave at that event caused a mental breakdown in the masses. There were even media outlets that believed it looked too good to be real gameplay.

After that revelation Halo 2 It became one of the most anticipated video games. This translated into the tremendous sales success it achieved once it hit the shelves. If they were alive at the time, they won’t let us lie and they know what a great phenomenon it was, not only this sequel, but the entire Halo trilogy. But this second part was what caused many to join the Xbox family.

3 – The return of Crash Bandicoot is one of the most beloved ads by children of the 90s

The good Crash Bandicoot went through a somewhat dark time after being one of the icons of 90s video games and an unofficial mascot of the original PlayStation. After years without hearing anything about him, E3 2016 suddenly arrived with one of the best ads for children of the 90s: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy which would bring back the first three adventures of the marsupial in full HD 4K.

The response to the ad showed that there was still a lot of love for this forgotten box-breaking hero. The best thing is that for the first time he let Nintendo and Xbox players try these games that have been on PlayStation for years. The great reception of this trilogy gave Crash its second wind with a new numbered installment, the return of its racing series and recently Crash Team Rumble. Not to mention the rumored new Toys for Bob game.

2 – Xbox One Backward Compatibility

In other times, the change between generations of consoles meant leaving behind several of your favorite games, since the next one was no longer capable of running them. This was the case for several years until Padrebox arrived in 2015 with one of its best ads, as it said: ‘do not be afraid, my children, you will be able to continue enjoying our classics on Xbox One’ and it has remained that way ever since.

With your Xbox Series X/S you can continue enjoying titles from the classic Xbox, through the 360 ​​and even Xbox One. Although not all of them are backward compatible, the great effort to allow us to keep many of our memories intact is greatly appreciated.

Fortunately, the competition has already begun to see that this works. PlayStation 5 is already backward compatible with 4 video games and there are rumors that Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible with the previous one. I wish they had also gotten on the train earlier.

1 – Reveal of the Nintendo Switch is one of the most memorable announcements in recent years

Since we’re talking about Nintendo Switch, how can we forget the tremendous impact caused by its reveal trailer where its hybrid capabilities were shown for the first time. This new console could not only go from being played on a television to taking it with you to continue playing anywhere. Its pair of levers also separate to become each one a control to share the fun.

You can blame Nintendo all you want for its graphics and prices, but you can’t deny that they are tremendous innovators. Not for nothing did it become one of the best-selling consoles of all time. Well, in addition to its capabilities as a laptop, it also has a catalog of titles for all tastes.

And to think that it all started with that 2017 trailer that showed us a whole world of possibilities. Hopefully the reveal of his successor will be just as amazing. Maybe we will have to change our top of the best ads in the industry.

This summer’s conferences and reveals are not over yet and we hope that some of the upcoming ones will leave us and all video game fans as surprised as these five that we present. What did you think of our top? What other ads blew your mind at the time? Tell us in the comments.
