The Last Mega Man Commercial in North America

Protodude has managed to track down the last Mega Man commercial aired in the United States. Thankfully, it’s not the “He’s Called the Blue Bomber… Because He’s Blue!” one.

Oh, Mom…

(Really, that reminds me a bit of growing up.)

The last shot is a bit interesting, though: two people playing Mega Man on a console? Given that one of the games advertised is Mega Man X Collection, perhaps they are playing Mega Man Battle & Chase. And are they using those hard-to-find (unreleased?) Mega Man X controllers?

Until the first half of the ’00s, Mega Man television commercials have been pretty rare in North America, relegated to but a handful of titles. However, it seems that momentum was kept in Japan until more recently, when there was nothing left to advertise.

Hopefully, when the time comes, Capcom will open its wallet a little for Mega Man Legends 3. As we all know, that game is going to need all the help it can get.
