Nintendo Power Previews, also titled Nintendo TV, was an interactive television kiosk display that was in use at video game retailers from 1993 to 2000. Unlike a standard playable game kiosk, it was made to show off trailers for multiple games.
The videos displayed on the kiosk's television screens came from a Laserdisc-operated machine, powered by a Super Nintendo Entertainment System hidden inside. The disc would jump to whichever trailer was represented by the button pressed by the consumer on the keypad. During the Nintendo 64 era, the machines switched to using VCDs.
The discs consisted of individual trailers for up to 36 games on Nintendo consoles, along with overviews of the current Nintendo consoles and exclusive peripherals, an advertisement for Nintendo Power (as well as Nintendo.com in later volumes), and previews for upcoming games. The trailers were narrated by such voice-over artists as Jeff Bennett, Cam Clarke, and Jennifer Hale. The discs and the corresponding keypads would be changed every two or three months to feature trailers for newly-released games, or sometimes re-record past trailers. Depending on the prominence of the consoles at the time, a disc could include twelve game trailers each for three different consoles, or up to 24 game trailers for the more recent home console if its predecessor had been retired. TV commercials for first-party Nintendo games and exclusive bumpers were also included on the discs, appearing between the main trailers.
