In 1994, Nintendo Power sent an exclusive VHS tape and Betamax tape to many subscribers of their magazine. The tape, titled "Donkey Kong Country Exposed", was 15 minutes long and featured interviews (conducted by an uncredited Joshua Wolfe), game tips, and general hype towards Nintendo and Rare's soon-to-be Killer App, Donkey Kong Country. Needless to say, the tape worked, and Donkey Kong Country was the smash hit of the 1994 Christmas season.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But the story doesn't end there. 1995 brought us "A Journey Through Yoshi's Island", a second VHS Nintendo Power tape. Focusing on Yoshi's Island, the video followed the general style of the Donkey Kong Country video, complete with Josh Wolf in a similar role. Unlike the Donkey Kong Country video, however, this tape was six minutes long. Notably, towards the end of the video there there was a brief clip of the final boss battle of the game.Also released in 1995 was a third tape, The Invasion of Nintendo, which focused on Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG, and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This video had a strange plot about a Big Brother-esque entity and his minions raiding Nintendo game tester rooms and demanding info on the latest games. It was... weird.In 1996, a fourth VHS tape by Nintendo Power was released, entitled "Change the System". This one promoted the upcoming Nintendo 64, and specifically featured three launch games: Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64, and Shadows of the Empire. The gimmick of this video was that three hardcore gamers (David Checel, Steve Greaves, and Brian O'Rourke) were invited to Nintendo headquarters to get glimpses at the new system; Ken Lobb presented Mario 64, Armond Williams presented Pilotwings 64, and Henry Sterchi presented Empire (all three Nintendo staff members had previously been featured in the first three promo videos). The end of the video featured the first instance of the "coming soon" montage, where numerous upcoming games are displayed in rapid succession to a piece of music. Speaking of music, this video is notable for its soundtrack, with alternative bands' songs featured in the background. (Side note: Germany got a similar promo video titled "Nintendo 64: The Next Dimension of Fun". Some differences, however: The three gamers were absent, there were different gameplay footage clips, it was over ten minutes longer, and featured Wave Race 64 instead of Shadows of the Empire.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })With the fifth video, Nintendo decided to focus on one game again, and Star Fox 64 was chosen for the treatment. The tone of this video was completely different; while the "Exposed", "Journey" and "Change" tapes had bits of humor, the Star Fox 64 video went all out on campy execution and over-the-top acting. There was even a plot, so to speak: Two thugs from Sony and Sega kidnap a Nintendo employee named Peter, and interrogate him on a certain upcoming game for Nintendo 64. Peter initially refuses, but gives in when the Sony and Sega guy torture a Mario doll by cranking its head in a vice; after sharing some gameplay footage of Star Fox 64, Peter accidentally lets it slip that Bob would kill him if he told them any more. Sony and Sega visit this Bob, disguised as pizza men, and drug him with knock-out gas. Back in the chamber, Bob accidentally mentions "the Rumble Pak"; after torturing the Mario doll again (this time, by hooking it up to a battery table), Bob indulges on the details. As the Rumble Pak was the first controller to feature force feedback, this was debatably the highlight of the video. Finally, Bob, Peter, Sony, and Sega compete in the game's four player mode; after whupping their butts, Bob and Peter leave, but not before teasing the duo with the Star Fox 64 player's guide. He doesn't let them have it, though: "You can buy it at the store."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The comedic slant to the promo videos continued in late 1997 with "Hot Topic", a video focused on Diddy Kong Racing. This time, the format was that of a newscast, with host Trent Tillman interviewing various correspondents in the field (a couple have punny names like Dent Chassis) about the game. In other words, they're all acting like Diddy and co. are real people. The video had a distinctive '70s feel for some reason, from the fashion to the decor. Frustratingly, as with the Star Fox 64 video, no credits are featured at the end, meaning the cast and crew info is seemingly lost to time.Apparently deciding that it's a lot of work to direct actors, the next video, released in 1998, didn't feature any on-camera talent and instead was just video game footage accompanied by narration and music. This video, about Banjo-Kazooie, was narrated by Jon Lovitz and matter-of-factly stated the content in the game, from the story to the power-ups/collectibles to the levels (in order of appearance). It was a simple video but it got the job done, and featured the most gameplay footage out of any of the Nintendo videos (obviously, due to not having anybody to cut back to).A video exclusively for sports game fans was also released in 1998, and featured Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr., 1080° Snowboarding, and NBA Courtside.In late 1998, another video, "A Sneak Peek at Pokémon", was released. As indicated by the title, this one covered both the Pokémon video games and the (then) upcoming Pokémon: The Series, which was about to debut in America. This featured multiple live-action actors as characters with supposed ties to the main cast, such as Ash's aunt Hillary or Misty's best friend Amy. The video also features some original dialogue recordings by the cast of the anime, notably a scene in which Team Rocket gets a call from Giovanni ordering them to catch Ash's Pikachu, the "rarest of all Pokémon", before the franchise launches and everyone else tries to do the same.In 1999, "Hot Newz 64" once again returned to on-camera talent. Steve Sobel hosted something of an infotainment show, and two games were featured: Jet Force Gemini and Donkey Kong 64, along with a brief look at the Donkey Kong Country animated series. Interspersed with the video game footage was Sobel interviewing people behind the games, such as Travis Williams and Brian Hartman. There was also a recurring segment called "Ask Dan", where Daniel Owsen (who is actually a Fake Shemp hidden behind pixellation) gave tips and answered fan letters. It wasn't really a "comedic" video in content, although Sobel's Large Ham delivery was either hilarious or annoying, depending on who you ask.Finally, in 2000, a video about The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was released.All videos can be viewed on World of Nintendo's YouTube channel.

The Stinger: Both the "Exposed" and "Change" videos feature an additional scene after the credits; "Exposed" features a brief glimpse of Killer Instinct (the host wanders into a room where people are playing it, and is immediately escorted out), and "Change", appropriately enough, features the narrator asking, "You still want more?!", cuing footage from Killer Instinct Gold.

Stealing the Credit: While the Donkey Kong Country: Exposed video does credit RARE (who developed the game), it's only in a brief scene where the host phones Tim Stamper. But the whole video is shot at Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington, which could give the false impression that NOA was largely responsible the game (they mainly helped with testing).

In the "Exposed" video, one of the banana-flavored dishes that the chef lists off is called "fried green bananas".
