Lost Rockman 6 Commercial Unearthed

Now this is a rather neat find. SuperMega233 has found the long lost Rockman 6 commercial, which, for years, was believed to have never existed. Check it out below:


Short, but sweet, right? Animated Rockman commercials traditionally tied with every famicom-era classic series game released in Japan since 1987. Rockman 6, however, was believed to be the exception due to the fact that Capcom, for reasons unknown, failed to include it in official commercial compilations. It was widely believed that they simply never produced a TV spot for the game in the first place, but as evident above, that wasn't the case.

  7. Rockman's Soccer should definitely have a commercial, since the Rockman Theme Song Collection included a track said to be from that commercial.

  10. Well, I finally managed to get the video to load. On another computer, that is. I must say, that it was pretty good. If I had seen that commercial back in the day, I'd definitely be sold on buying Mega Man 6.
