not sure if this is an actual TV show or just made to be distributed on home video like LD

There are lots of extremely boring LDs like this. SNK made many, there may even be a box set.

Side note: do people enjoy this pointy faced dude with his face that close in HD? Also, the video looks like it’s been through Instagram or something, super SUPER saturated. Also, 10 ad breaks in an hour? To watch a pirated LD? Disgusting.

Scitron or whatever titles? Yeah, it is kind of boring to watch a video of somebody else playing videogames. In that respect, these are something of a forerunner of similar content on Youtube. I suppose these make sense if they are instructional and illustrating moves and easter egg type things, but that's not what these videos generally are.

Are you talking about youtube ads?

I have the KOF ‘96 one and I own KOF ‘96 and I didn’t find much on the LD worth viewing. It’s mostly a thing where they just show every move for every character. The voice actors are all over it, cracking jokes and such, but IIRC virtually every second of footage on the thing was Neo Geo generated and at no point was there any sort of advance technique displayed that I didn’t already know.

It’s almost like a video archive of the game...that presumably you already own. The Sega one here for sure looks more interesting but not that interesting.

Yes. I’d never watch this on a device lacking an ad blocker. That’s more ads than TV and...he didn’t make this! It’s just a bloody bootleg...of a really common disc. There’s zero reason to pay anyone here anything.
