Historical Note

Although several uncredited internet sources claim this commercial was exclusively shown in Japan, we believe this is inaccurate. The donor of this item, L. Tatton Partington, says the film was obtained through a former movie theater employee in the United States. In addition, press coverage indicates that Nintendo had planned a larger marketing campaign around this theatrical trailer.
