Help me find a little-known piece of Star Fox history.

In 2000 (that's the model year), Nintendo partnered up with the Ford Motor Company to seamlessly integrate N64 consoles into Mercury Villager minivans.

Guess what game was used in the TV commercial for these vehicles: SF64!

I want this commercial. Anyone out there seen it? It is likely these commercials aired in 1999.

I'm sure it's somewhere out there, but finding it is going to be difficult.

I wouldn't say that has been one of FoMoCo's best ideas to integrate such technology as a game console into a car.

I know americans switch cars a lot more often than anyone else in the world, but a car is still normally keept longer before being replaced with a newer version than a game console.

At least the average lifespan of a car here is over 10 years. A lot of things can happen in the gaming world in 10 years.

Still, would be great to play SF64 in your car :D
