So, we at Operation Rainfall are trying something a little different. Instead of just doing a normal weekly wrap-up article, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) will be combing the Interwebs to find old video game commercials for your entertainment. In honor of Nintendo Power’s passing, this week’s commercial will be the first Nintendo Power commercial to hit the airwaves.

Here are some of the highlights from this week.

We gave you an update on the status of Pandora’s Tower and that special collector’s case we’re making.

Final Fantasy Dimensions’ release date is revealed to be August 31^st. Its price was also revealed, but you might not like it.

A teaser site popped up for something related to The World Ends With You. Turns out it’s for an iOS port.

Scott Macdonald told us how Persona 3 FES turned him into the gamer we know today.

Bravely Default’s boxart was revealed this week. Gaze upon it in all of its glory!

This week’s Game of the Past is Super Mario Galaxy. James Best loved it, but who doesn’t?

We reviewed Legasista, Symphony – Liberate Your Music, New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Depona.

Finally, we share some of our fondest memories with Nintendo Power.
