Growing up in an age prior to YouTube, we often marvelled at the bizarre Japanese commercials that would occasionally be included as extras with select games. Sadly, now that we have access to this kind of insanity on tap, we’ve noticed that the nation’s craziness has been on the wane of late. Fortunately, upcoming PlayStation Vita re-release Valhalla Knights 3 Gold is here to save the day with the strangest marketing campaign that we’ve seen in quite some time.
At their worst, these television spots feature intentionally terrible lip syncing and a bizarre culinary premise. At their best, though, they depict two adult actors tickling each other with pastry brushes and rubbing whisks on their nipples. The original iteration of Marvelous AQL’s action-focused role-playing game may have been a dull, tedious, and borderline offensive affair, but we’re totally sold on its enhanced upgrade after watching these embedded advertisements.

What did I just watch?
..........What?
Still trying to figure out what cooking and swatting flies had to do with that game… also why he kept staring at her funny whenever she was advertising the game.. (0:24)
OH MY GORDAH!!!
The biggest question is how did Valhalla Knights 3 get a re-release?
the game itself is bad, from the ground up
no matter how it is polished it won't be any good
@ShogunRok They had a great idea for a commercial, so had to make the game.
@divinelite @ShogunRok it's not the best game in the world, but I do like the series. The graphics in 3 are laughably poor for Vita and the first two games didn't have the rubbing-parts parts that ruins 3. I really wanted to like it but I don't : (
Oh well. That was interesting. Shame about the game.bonus points for the moustache and expressive eyes. These guys must be on some form of kids TV no?
Well...that seems pretty tame compared to the old days.
