I like how each time the 'hosts' ask the 'expert' how the games for the new systems are different than games for current systems, he more or less says 'just better graphics and sound, but basically the same' (
although they now have "100's of hours of gameplay!" 
).
And both games being demoed were already on Sega Master System looking and playing more or less the same, only cruder.
If the marketers only wanted to push the aesthetic upgrade with 16-bit, that'd be a good way to do it, if they ran 8-bit titles side by side next to 16-bit versions.
But for a TV spot like that, where the games are only run on monitors and filmed from a distance, they should've used more original titles like Side Arms and Altered Beast. It'd still push the 'arcade-at-home' message, but would justify the purchase of new hardware to play titles that weren't already available at home.
Any kid who had a loser friend with a SMS would've thought that those games didn't look any different than what they played last weekend at his New Kids on the Block themed birthday party.
I also liked how they teased the kids in the audience by pretending like they were actually going to let one of them try the new video games, but instead 'chose' the previously handpicked kid who was already sitiing outside the audience at the edge of the stage.
