One of the original commercials for the "Fix-It Felix, Jr." arcade game the year it debuted and introduced the world to Fix-It Felix, Jr. and Wreck-It Ralph.
That is so incredibly convincing! I even noticed the announcer mispronounced "Fix-it 'Filix' Jr." but then later the kids pronounce it 'Felix' Just like Mario used to be mis-pronounced 'mere-io' by commercial announcers. I love it!
This game was the freaking bomb back in my day. I really loved though how Ralph was popular enough to get his own game: Wreck-It Ralph Nation. Ralph's buddy, Bust-It Bob, was a really great addition to what I hope will be a lucrative franchise.
They say that the game never really exists but it does exist for the Nintendo entertainment system instead of the real arcade machine which is actually a homeage to donkey kong
Didn't this arcade machine have a reputation for being glitchy? I remember playing one day and all of a sudden the sprites disappeared, then seconds later the system locked up. Thank goodness it was one of the first arcade machines with an automatic reboot
Oh my God...that's just...wow... It actually looks like an 80s commercial, has everything an 80s commercial would have too... Props to them for authenticity... xD
They ruined it with Felix 3-D on N64, though. That was awful. The only good part was the Ralph's Stump Jump mini game you could unlock if you went to the basement of Niceland News and turned on the TV.
no Felix 3D was on the TOBIKOMI 87 console but it was going to be released on the N64 but TOBIKOMI did not want to release it so they don't compete against Nintendo and super Mario 64 since both were very similar and popular .
As a big fan of both Wreck-It Ralph and classic animations like Astro Boy (Mighty Atom), I think it would be amazing if Disney created a new remake of Astro Boy with lots of cameos, just like in Ralph Breaks the Internet. It would be incredible to see how Disney brings this iconic character to life with a modern twist and fun crossovers!
Oh yeah, definitely. Ralph totally went in bold new directions for the 3D franchise. It started a whole new line of games. I'm pretty sure you remember Wreck it Ralph Moonshine, Wreck it Ralph Nebula, Wreck-It Ralph Nebula 2. I hear that there's gonna be a spinoff starting one of the Nicelanders from the original game. I believe it'll be called Gene's Penthouse.
I remember owning this on the Turbo Grafx. Pretty good port. The added bonus round was pretty good, but the sound effects were a bit messed up. I heard there are some bootlegs floating around that are actually better than the original.
haha, I grew up in the '80s. This is almost perfect except no one would have said "state of the art." It's not that there were games of better quality than this, but makers wouldn't boast the presumed "state of the art" quality of games then (that would be a bit like if nowadays alarm clock companies boasted the "state of the art" quality of digits on the lit up display: the quality isn't *bad* but it doesn't occur to you that it's supposed to be mind-bogglingly stunning.I hope this makes sense.
I love how these commercials show the change in arcades and in the economy. In this one, from the 80s, it's two free quarters on your birthday. In the Sugar Rush one (the 90s), it's 4 free quarters on your birthday, proof required. In the Hero's Duty one (modern), it's a "double points power card" on your birthday, legal proof required. Arcades these days use cards, not quarters.
@@Turbo_the_Turbotastic I know but what I meant forgotten was that it probably wouldn’t be popular and people would think about it less, but yes you’re right.
It is real! When I went to the cinemas, they had the game machine there and it looked so old! On it also had a coin from back then but of course anyone can play it for free there, so I did, but as I got to level two some baby was getting in the way and I moved :( Wished I could have played more...
''Offer only available with 3 valid forms of ID and proof of birthday. Quarters must be used on Fix-it-Felix Jr. game.'' QUARTERS MUST BE USED ON FIX-IT-FELIX JR. GAME!!!!!!!!!! XD
Watching the ads for this movie in "Hero's Duty" - "Sugar Rush" - "Fix-It Felix Jr." order. Noticing the trend with birthday offers... Missing arcades. ;~;
I had a fleeting thought this was real until I saw the Earth globe, to get that 3D level animation and colour scale would have been immense for an ad in those days .. even neigh impossible.
Are you kidding? The 80s were the peak of arcade popularity. Not everyone had home consoles, with the first popular ones not being made until the mid to late 80s. All the kids would go to the arcade to play video games with their allowance, and they were incredibly popular. If their budget was large enough, they could have put sound clips. However given it's literally two sounds in the entire game, they likely wouldn't have bothered.
Shadowloo was asked to make arcade cabinet promos in Europe for Wreck It Ralph, but they only showed the trailer. I want an actual cabinet at my theater. :(
I just found out that Tilt got the arcade version of Fix-It Felix Jr. and our Tilt left just a few years ago. I am so pissed at our mall right now. I'm gonna go to our only other arcade, Aladdin's Palace and see if they have it asap. I wanna play it with the joystick and stuff for once. (I'm CRAZY for the movie, especially Ralphy.)
Oh, this game has existed recently. We set up half a dozen cabinets at DisneyQuest as sort of a promo for the movie. 'Tis hard, too. Think Steve Wiebe was there lately. Two of the cabinets have the second and third-highest scores in the world.
Seems more like a 90s commercial, Fix It Felix Jr. Is based on Donkey Kong, which came out in 1981, it would probably be more of a 70sish feeling commercial. Also very rare for a Japanese arcade game (im asuming, the company on the cabinet is called "Tobikomi" which is clearly a parody of Nintendo) to sponsor a random arcade in the US.
No it's something they made for the movie. But they did make a real life arcade cabinet with this game so you can actually play it in real life. You can also do it online.
But then Wreck-it Ralph Colors and Generations proved that it's games can be good. Damn those games were fun. Classic Wreck-it Ralph was a delightful suprise.
Kudos to Disney for making such an authentic looking 80s commercial. It even has the audio/video "quality" we see in these "commercials from the 80s" collections on YT, resembling something that was recorded off the TV on a VHS, right down to the minor video distortion from VHS tracking and "haze" seen at the end of the tape. The fact that the announcer also sounds like the 1980s/1990s Disney video promos really helps... I have to wonder if it's the same person. (Mark Elliot? Brian Cummings?)
Quite the contrary, Fix-it Felix is going to be an actual Arcade game made at certain Arcade venues and will be added to Theaters that show Wreck-it Ralph (to add a bit more Meta to the Metafiction theme) and it will be Coin operated and 8-Bit. (They did the same thing with Tron Legacy by creating the actual Space Paranoids Arcade Machine)
"....resembling something that was recorded off the TV on a VHS, right down to the minor video distortion from VHS tracking and "haze" seen at the end of the tape." Haha! I like that, too. I def may check this movie out. VERY clever advertising!
I think the Sugar Rush one is meant to be a modern commercial since Sugar Rush is a more modern game. This commercial is obviously set in 1982, where as Sugar Rush wasn't around back then in the Wreck-it Ralph universe.
Actually you know at the beginning of Sonic games on the Genesis how it says "Sega"? That took up a huge portion of the actual game cartridge. That one second sound clip took up more space than several stages.
The video aging effect is stunning. I have seen many videos in VHS and Beta formats (Many uploaded to TH-cam) with the same ghosting as shown in 0:05 and 0.30 , which is a clear sign of deterioration (or the tracking button not used in the playback)
In all honesty, I'm so glad I was born when I was. I got to live through pretty much the entire Arcade era. The one near us had a members' club that meant bonus tokens and discounted pizza combos. Looking forward to new games and waiting in line to try them was something we don't get much anymore. Well, unless you count midnight releases ^^
The voices are a tad better than they would have been back then, but the tech did exist. See "Sinistar". Disney has been doing this retro campaign for a year or so. They had even sent out flyers earlier in the development asking for help "looking" for any surviving Fix-it Felix jr. cabinets.
Man its amazing how Rare took this game and worked into an adventure platformer like Wreck-it Ralph Country on the SNES. Man, I love that game.
They were ahead of the Times!
He also had an enemy named King J. Tool
Fix-It-Felix 64 was a bit of a bloated mess. Still fun tho.
@@SpudChickenSaltedChipsDon’t you mean Wreck it Ralph 64? Fix It Felix 64 was one of the first and one of the best 3D games!
What would a rare-style Ralph even look like
I have to admit, for a second after I first saw this, I actually thought this was a real commercial. Props to the animators, they know their stuff.
They did make real machines based off the movie and until I read the comment, I thought this was advertising those
It's good that Fix-It Felix, Jr. has vastly been improved for the Wii and Wii U releases.
Bruh why did they air this commercial when the game hasn’t even existed?

Those “kids” are not kids. They are a group of adults who live in Niceland called the Nicelanders.

Yep.
@@LunaStarMania Yep.
I like the way this quickie was made. It's look just like a commercial from the 1980's. Very well made and a sure favorite for any nostalgia fan.
I remember playing this game a lot as a kid. This was back in the time when Super Mario Bros. was reinventing video games after the Atari issues.
Wow, it’s incredible how this game spawned such excellent things like the Wreck it Ralph rap and Felix vs. Ralph. Truly a peak series right here.
I'm still not 100% sold on the movie, but this commercial was spot-on. Gives me some hope.
So, how was the movie?
This is awesome, it looks so vintage and perfect...I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! OHMYGOODNESS!
I Feel like i went back in time...
This game was ported to waaayy too many consoles.
I got it on my NES, the collector's editon for N64, Re-make in 3D for PS2, and the comeback edition on my Xbox One.
How
***** Trolololololol

I Love how this ad Really does feel like it was made in the 80's
The accuracy it had to original video game commercials in the 1980's is unbelievable.
"Who LOVES living up to his wreck-it name!" Yeah, about that...
Oh my God...that's just...wow... It actually looks like an 80s commercial, has everything an 80s commercial would have too...

no Felix 3D was on the TOBIKOMI 87 console but it was going to be released on the N64 but TOBIKOMI did not want to release it so they don't compete against Nintendo and super Mario 64 since both were very similar and popular .
Ah. Yes, you're right. It was for the TOBIKOMI 87. I seem to recall there was also a TOBIKID handheld version that was a side-scroller.
oh yeah I remember playing Rancis fluggerbutter and sugar rush 87.
No, I think the official Scratch DiskTurn port was the worst. Honestly, the bootleg port is a much better choice if you ever get a DiskTurn.
If I never heard of Wreck-It Ralph and someone showed me this saying it was an old arcade game advertisement I would believe it
Ah, nostalgia. Right in the feels. Almost makes me believe I've played that game!
This is like a real 80's commercial! I love it!
seems more like a 90s commercial.
A commercial from 1982 would have more of a groovy kinda 70sish vibe. If you watch some of the original Atari 2600 commercials, you'll see what i mean
As a big fan of both Wreck-It Ralph and classic animations like Astro Boy (Mighty Atom), I think it would be amazing if Disney created a new remake of Astro Boy with lots of cameos, just like in Ralph Breaks the Internet. It would be incredible to see how Disney brings this iconic character to life with a modern twist and fun crossovers!

Oh yeah, definitely. Ralph totally went in bold new directions for the 3D franchise. It started a whole new line of games. I'm pretty sure you remember Wreck it Ralph Moonshine, Wreck it Ralph Nebula, Wreck-It Ralph Nebula 2.
I hear that there's gonna be a spinoff starting one of the Nicelanders from the original game. I believe it'll be called Gene's Penthouse.
BRILLIANT!! :D
A fantastically amusing promo for what is sure to be one of this year's best animated films!
I love how echoey the sound quality is, it makes me feel all nostalgic for old commercials
I remember going to Disney and played the ORIGINAL replica and working arcade machine of Felix and I played on it! Back in 2015
the vintage looks freakin awesome!
I loved that game, makes me remember when i was young and mother gave me some money and said me "Go buy some milk" and i spent it all on this :')
I remember owning this on the Turbo Grafx. Pretty good port. The added bonus round was pretty good, but the sound effects were a bit messed up. I heard there are some bootlegs floating around that are actually better than the original.
The Turbo Grafx?? Sure ya did, pardner!
Fix It Felix Sr. Was super awesome on the NES.
True classic.
0:20 - Mario coin sound?
I love that they put the VHS effects on this... Good Job, Disney!!
Well, in the 80s and even into the 90s lots of people still had this as their average broadcast quality. On a good day.
I love how they made it look like an actual old commercial. LOVE it!
Also... why's the game called "Fix-it Felix Jr."?
I just did, and I have to commend you on your classic video game knowledge. Good job.
I like how Felix Jr. fixes broken glass with a hammer.
this promotional video reminds me of those scenes from that 1980s T.V show starcade.
To people confused, no this did not come out back in the day lol. This came out around 2012 or 2013 and people are breaking balls about it.

After finishing the video, I was like, hold on, was this a forgotten game? I can only imagine the excitement if this video was dropped on April fools.
