Had a 5 minute ad about communism while watching this video lol
There's nothing wrong with Devil May Cry 2 (DMC Series) everything for god's sake!!
They added Daryl Dixon's face on Death Stranding
I feel like when the entire game IS a product placement, it's just an interactive commercial.
i love seeing all the ads when i replay NFSU2
Interesting news.
CHOOPA CHOOPS?

Coca Cola in parasite eve 2
A lot of these feel very nitpicky. Out of place in a video game isn't necessarily bad and most of these added a lot of laughter to kids who played the games adding an element of immersion because here's a product that we see at the local 7/11
Edit: all right the burger King addition to fight club is amazing, fight me xD that had me rolling
Edit part 2 electric boogaloo: Finally made it all the way through the video, this was extremely nit picky and honestly I hope we get more "shameless" ads in games just to get under your skin more.
We need a list for shameful Video games promotion placement in movies
Would this video technically be considered an ad since it showed all 20 ads?
cough Crazy Taxi!
Pepsiman brings soooo much great memories😢
So… The UFC 2 or 3 and basically any Ea sports (or 2k) games didn't make the either?
UFC's product placement was so bad it made you watch ads during your fights
Did i get something wrong? You don't play humans in pikmin. And you often see big stuff from humans, not only the battery.
And about the mercedes in MK, yeah, they don't fit. I still kinda liked the classic ones as car guy. The suv i don't care at all.
Id say death stranding and monster was homage to the drink they liked. As far I read no money was exchanged
As an Aussie it’s weird nearing chupa chups said that way
Shameful that nothing has changed to this day
You missed Teenage mutant ninja turtles on NES, In many levels there are signs that say “Pizza Hut”
I'm sorry but MGS4 had it worse than Peace Walker with Playboy, an iPod, and all of Otacons computers being Mac.
Spoilers: but for pikmin it makes sense since that’s future earth
Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 was sponsored by Dodge and Jeep.
Yes
Shame is shame ,
Same is same ,
Game is game .
Product placement in games if done right I think can make games more immersive.
inFamous 2 – Subway (as in, you see subway stores in the game). And it's chupa chups. Not choopa choops.
Pepsi Man doesn't make me want to drink a Pepsi he makes me want to drink a FUCKIN BEER.
I don't mind seeing products..it's a fun way to break the 4th wall.
I don't mind in game product placement if done properly. For example games set in reality having billboards of real ads makes it more realistic. I mean in Cities Skylines and ETS2 I have modded in real brands/companies to them. However, shoe horning them in like in Mario Kart and Pikmin just makes no sense and ruins the immersion
Isn't chucha chups a latin goat demon?
Personally, I love the Mario Kart X Mercedes-Benz collaboration.
And now we have an ad placement for 20 games on WM! I feel like having a Monster with Doritos.
You just KNEW PepsiMan would be number one!!!
Pepsi Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pepsiman doesn’t fit the list. It’s literally a Pepsi game about Pepsi, what did you expect? Honestly I think games have too little product placement. Anywhere you look irl there’s product placement, realistically a game should be similar, only problem being when it’s one singular product, realistically a game like say Cyberpunk should be flooded with product placement.
Two things:
1 – Corporate sponsored games probably should have been their own list. They’re intentionally cheesy/corny/full of their own products because yeah, of course they are.
2 – Narration could use a bit of work with this one. It lacked a certain amount you charm from other consistent narrators and honestly, mispronouncing Hideo Kojima multiple times?
How sad are you that you have to complain about product placements in video games?
This narrator at times sounds a lot like Hiccup from HTTYD!!
Always loved the Duracell in pikmin.
Cool Spot was such a great game tho
