It's my understanding that the commercial was from 1991, which makes sense since the Super Nintendo / Super Famicom came out around then.

Here's a web site that talks about this ad and the song:

To summarize, it's by a Japanese hip-hop group Scha Dara Parr, based on their song "Game Boys". They redid the lyrics for the ad.
