I distinctly remember different scenes and musical score... ah well... It left a lasting impression. Heh, regardless, I asked for an SNES just for that game (thankfully) I remember seeing the Secret of Mana ad at the age of 8ish, but for the life of me I can’t sync it up with the german spot that’s all over the internet.

The only real fun part was seeing how high you could launch the Puma. On the other hand, I don't give a crap about My SIMS or Viva Pinata. I'm kind of stoked at the idea of GTA4 and MGS3 but I can't afford a next gen console. I guess I'm just not hard core anymore. I've returned to the trap I was in ten years ago. All I care about now is how many exotic animals I can enslave for use in killing other exotic animals. IE Pokemon. I'm starting to remember why I was so obsessed when I was playing Blue and the whole thing was new. On the other hand, if they announced a new 2D Castlevania for a handheld that people actually give a shit about I'd be all over that. Better yet, a new 2D Metroid. The last good FPS was Half Life.

That was "Mad World", originally by Tears For Fears and remade by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews. That wasn’t REM.

I still haven't played Halo 2, and the only reason I played Halo is because it came out for the PC. I'm still waiting for Marathon 4; if the hardcore were really being catered to, we would be seeing that instead of the dumbed-down and glitzed-up Halo games. Video-game ads really suck now-a-days. The last one I can think of that was notable was for Gears of War, and that's mainly because of the artsy-fartsy REM music. Rob I don’t care about Halo 3 either.

Though I did find the FF3US ad that I remember seeing once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeYu8CvKW-g The only ad for Secret of Mana I can find online is a German one, but it looked decent for its day.
