NES
WTF!? "Real pictures that come out and hit you in the face!"

Atari 2600
WTF!? Song with sinister sexual subtext? Check. Retarded static images? Check. Breakout screen replica created using fuzzy felt? Check.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
WTF!? The good old days when Nintendo made games that would make girls cry.

Devil May Cry
WTF!? Big breasts. Big swords. An obvious combination.

The NES commercial seemed oddly threatening.

Wow, They don't make them that good anymore. I blame the diminishing popularity of LSD.

Simply calling a commercial 'gay' does not a witty feature make. It puts you on level with an 11 year-old Youtube commenter. Now I'm all for embracing immaturity but it's got to actually be funny and not just tired and homophobic. You're better than that, Gamesradar.

yes you are. Shame, shame upon you all Games Radar. Loved the article though, too bad a lot of the movies have been removed.

@Wartooth909
The ad is clearly outrageous and I believe the writer is capable of writing something far more amusing and clever than just calling it 'gay.' The feature can be funny without singling out and insulting a minority group. It's 2008 and when someone calls a thing that's stupid, bad or ridiculous 'gay' they instantly sound like they're in junior high.
Sorry to be pedantic but, you know, don't be a bigot.

But being a bigot is so much easer then accepting people for who the really are. People who arnt just like me scare me to death.

If you look in a recent dictionary, you'll actually see that gay is also defined as a negative adjective.
Who knows the writer could be from 1940 and thought the advert was very 'happy'.

@GodlikeApe: Which dictionary would that be, urbandictionary.com? OED and Webster's don't.
@Wartooth909: Cunning satire, congrats you're a troll.
