Title

Hey You, Pikachu!

Description

Nintendo promotional VHS Tape mailed out to customers and potentially distributed by Walmart stores sometime between 1998 and 2000. Contains a ~3 min commercial for the Hey You, Pikachu video game for Nintendo 64.

Video captured using a JVC SR-VS20 VCR fed through a Panasonic DMR-ES10 to a Black Magic Intensity 4K capture card. Video has been deinterlaced and compressed as a 480p H264 file for compatibility.

Due to this item having been provided as a free promotion, Hit Save has made the video files available on our archive in a compressed format.

480i ProRes captures remain on record. If you are a video game history researcher and would like access to the physical item or the raw files, please contact us. Such requests are approved on a case by case basis at the discretion of the director.
