Love that VHS filter. Love that reverb on the music track and the narration. Seems like the colors in the video were a bit too saturated to be on the VHS tape itself. Also, didn't the Wii U come out in like 2010? Well past VHS time? That was a strange juxtaposition. You're obviously fully capable of making something quite good. Love a good fake commercial. Hope you keep making!

The game and the video itself is supposed to evoke an uncanny feeling. It's not actually a 2010s era commercial, it's not actually a VHS tape, and it's not actually a video game. By making things off and unaligned feeds more into that eerie feeling to let the audience know something's wrong; moreover that something's fake. It's almost like a temporary glance into an alternate reality, where the game exists, where things are amiss from how we know them. A big inspiration from this mixed form of unreality art style is Omega Mart, an amazing permanent art installation that has several youtube videos showcasing their themes and displays.
Overall it's supposed to be a surreal piece of art, that has layers, and as you stare at it, the layers come apart at their seams, leaving you only with a disconcerting feeling.
Though, art isn't always meant to be explained, and the intent behind the piece can be easily lost if intent is not clearly laid out, so I'm sorry for that, but my intention was to not make something authentic, but to make something unique.
