In celebration of Saturn month, I knew we had to feature the excellent Segata Sanshiro ad campaign from Japan. Initially I thought I’d share a few of the best commercials, but then I came across this video gem. From bestdamnpodcastever.com comes this cool mini-documentary on Segata Sanshiro. The video gives a few fun facts about the campaign, a little history, highlights some of the best commercials and ends with an awesome music video. Check it out… unless you want to be placed in a headlock.
SEGATA SANSHIRO!

I actually bought the Segata Sanshiro game…
Yeah, it's not very good, lol.
^ It's worth it for the better-than-youtube quality commercials!
Who wants to argue that this wasn't the best thing that came out the disaster that was SEGA SATURN!?
