Who knows. I'm guessing some people at Nintendo didn't want to be associated with the Wu.

Probably didn't want to promote doing graffiti on harnesses

Probably would have aired if it didn't show direct spray paint onto the building.

[atlien seeko]

Shame, but that was actually nice too!

In 1993, members of the Wu-Tang Clan produced a 40-second spot for Nintendo's Super Game Boy. Filmed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1993, it featured a beat by Prince Paul, voice-over from RZA and ODB, and a work of graffiti from the COD Crew. A member of COD found the old video and uploaded it to Vimeo a few weeks ago. He writes in the description that the commercial "was banned from networks for being too ill." That's all you need to know.
