Hello, I'm Ego, a passing thru kamen rider~

I'm currently working on a Nintendo DS fanzine (Fan Magazine) in Indonesian. As I was browsing DarkFader's site for material (yes, the highly controversial legend) using the WayBack Machine, I came across a unique Touch! DS. It seems to be a tagline or marketing language for the Nintendo DS console. I tried to search for information about this word in Japanese, but I got very little information, which was :

1. Touch! was the tagline of the Nintendo DS when it was originally released in 2004.
2. Utada Hikaru was involved in the Nintendo DS CM (Commercial Message) several times and used the tagline, even at the Nintendo DS launch event in Japan he modeled the ad.
3. There was an event called Nintendo World Touch DS!

but there are things that intrigue me more, which is the contents of the Media Gallery and My First Touch! DS on the official website (touch-ds.jp). I browsed the contents of the site a bit, it seems that the gallery contains CM and marketing of Nintendo DS while My First Touch! DS contains mini-series containing CM (correct me if I'm wrong). But unfortunately, only a few media are archived and the My First Touch! DS menu also cannot be opened because it requires Macromedia Flash to play the video. :hateit:

Does anyone here have an archive of these videos? Because my only source of reference is the touch site. IGN has covered the release of DS in Japan but there is only a photo of the DS advertising poster modeled by Utada Hikaru. :yaynds:

thank you...
 
They're just a series of advertisement videos showing "average" people using the DS.

Nothing really special.

If you have Ruffle installed, the swf will run, but the videos will no longer play. They may not exist anymore.

However, some videos (probably not from the same origin) were archived.

By the way, I fucking hate the forum's auto embed feature.

I see, but I still need it as material for making articles later. But if it can no longer be accessed, maybe it will become lost media. Thank you for your help. I tried searching with the keywords “Touch! DS” but didn't find any archives, and finally someone archived even if it was just a few videos.
