We hope you haven’t had your fill of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS goodness after the commercials we posted a few days ago; as it turns out, there is yet another, and it features some cool visuals, too!

Lately, we’ve been checking out some old episodes of Video Power, complete with commercials. And among those commercials were some we had forgotten existed: Tiger Electronics handheld games. There were several different ones, most of which were made around a similar template, and one was for the Tiger handheld version of Mega Man 2, which […]

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.) LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

As we noted yesterday, the Mega Man Battle Network series has reached the big one-oh. That’s right, ten years of PETs, NetNavis, Battle Chips, Cross Fusion, Beast Outs, and more fun than should be allowed on the internet for kids under the age of 12. Today, we are following a little inspiration from Protodude’s celebration […]

Some of you might be too young to remember, but back in the early 90’s, before the rise of the internet into mainstream prominence, gaming was… a bit different. For one thing, getting to see videos of new and upcoming titles before they came out was something of a rarity, usually reserved for special VHS […]

While it would seem that we’ve seen Japanese commercials for nearly every Rockman game under the sun, with each featuring original animation (if only the Mega Man titles received that same love), one* has remained conspicuous by its absence: Rockman 6. However, that would no longer seem to be the case, as only hours ago, […]

If there is one thing that the original Mega Man games for the Nintendo Entertainment System did not get a lot of around these parts (i.e. North America), it is some televised commercial love. Sure, there was that secret agent ad for Mega Man 3, and Mega Man 6 was squeezed in alongside the top-loading […]

Everyone likes toys, right? No? Well, if not, then perhaps this commercial for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars will change your mind: No, your eyes do not deceive you; that is an action figure of the legendary Digger MegaMan Volnutt kicking some Tekkaman and Gatchaman butt with the aid of Street Fighter icon Ryu. Capcom […]

Protodude has put up a very interesting video on his site today. It’s an advertisement for an event called “Rockman Live Stage” that was put on in the fall of ’98. Apparently, footage of the event itself hasn’t been found yet at this point in time, but this commercial can at least give us an […]

For the second year running, we are proud to announce that the second “OtaRockman” Mega Man panel at Otakon, held at 12:45pm on Saturday, July 18th, was a success. This was thanks in part to the Otakon staff moving us to a larger room than the workshop room we filled at the last minute in […]

Ah, now here’s yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again more recently. At the time of […]

Protodude has dug up a fairly old and rather weird commercial for a group of PlayStation 2 games from Japan, one of which is Rockman X7. Regardless of your thoughts on the quality of the game, this remains interesting nonetheless: Each character is a mascot-style costume, and X’s actually looks pretty neat. The whole thing […]
